What Are Milia?

Milia are tiny, dome-shaped bumps that are white or yellowish. They are not acne but are actually keratin-filled cysts that form under the skin. Milia can occur in people of all ages and commonly appear on the face, especially around the eyelids and cheeks.

Causes of Milia

Milia develop when skin flakes or keratin, a protein found in skin tissue, become trapped beneath the skin surface. Common causes include:

  • Genetic Factors: Some people are just more prone to developing milia.
  • Skin Residue: Improper removal of makeup or excessive use of oily skincare products.
  • Skin Damage: Sun damage or injuries that lead to blistering can increase the risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Milia Removal Q&A

Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation with one of our medical aestheticians and a nurse. We assess your skin condition and discuss your skincare routine to determine the best treatment approach for your specific needs.

Depending on the individual case and skin type, we offer several treatments for milia removal:
Needling: A precise technique where a fine needle is used to create a tiny incision over the milium, allowing for extraction.
CO2 Laser: A targeted approach that uses laser technology to vaporize the milium without affecting surrounding tissue.
Radio Frequency: Utilizes radio wave energy to heat the milia, promoting natural resorption by the body.

Yes, we often recommend a combination of skincare products to prevent future milia. Products like a Vitamin A serum can help by accelerating cell turnover, and non-comedogenic moisturizers help to keep your pores clear without trapping keratin beneath the skin’s surface.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort during milia removal. Treatments like needling and laser are quick and any discomfort is brief. We strive to ensure our clients are as comfortable as possible during their treatments.

Side effects are generally minimal and may include temporary redness or slight swelling in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours. There is no significant downtime, and most clients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Many clients see complete removal of milia in just one session. However, the number of sessions may vary depending on the number of milia and the chosen treatment method. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Post-treatment care is straightforward. We recommend keeping the treated area clean and avoiding heavy skincare products or makeup for 24 hours. Full aftercare instructions will be provided based on the treatment method used.
