Unwanted Growth Removal

About Milia

Milia are tiny cysts filled with trapped keratin, which look like small hard white or yellow dots. They are harmless but can be stubborn, and they do not go away with squeezing or scrubbing.

Removing them properly with sterile tools helps avoid scarring and irritation that picking at home can cause.

Benefits

  • Clears small, stubborn white bumps
  • Done with sterile technique
  • Quick, with little downtime
  • Reduces the urge to pick at them

Who it suits

  • Small white bumps around the eyes or cheeks
  • Milia that have not cleared on their own
  • People who want a clean, safe removal

Safety and what to tell us

  • Please do not squeeze or pick at milia, because this can scar
  • Tell us about skin conditions, medicines or a tendency to scar
  • We confirm the bumps are milia before treating

What to expect

  1. Check. We confirm that the bumps are milia.
  2. Removal. Each milium is opened with a sterile tool and the contents are gently removed.
  3. Care. We apply soothing care and explain aftercare.

Sessions

Usually one short visit. New milia can form, so occasional repeat visits are possible.

Downtime

Minimal. Slight redness or tiny marks for a day or two.

Aftercare

  • Keep the area clean
  • Avoid heavy creams around the treated spots
  • Use sunscreen, and do not pick at scabs
