Milia Removal

Overview

Milia are small keratin cysts. A clinician may extract them when appropriate. They are not the same as whiteheads.

What concerns it may be used for

It may be considered for persistent milia around the eyes or face.

How it generally works

The skin is prepared and the cyst is released with a sterile technique. This is not a pore-strip tutorial.

Who may be considered

People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.

Safety and clinical assessment

Marks or infection can occur, especially near the eyes. Do not pick milia. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
