Milia Removal

Milia are small yellow or white bumps that appear on the skin due to keratin trapped beneath the surface. At Derm.ca, our experienced dermatology team can safely and effectively remove milia in under 5 minutes.

What Causes Milia?

Milia develop when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the skin's surface instead of naturally shedding. Common causes include:

  • Clogged pores
  • Heavy or oily skincare products
  • Sun damage
  • Natural skin cell buildup

Our Treatment Approach

At Derm.ca, we use cutting-edge technology and specialized tools to remove milia effectively and safely. Our trained nurses and clinicians ensure:

  • No scarring
  • No downtime
  • No recurring oil clusters left on your skin after treatment
  • Quick, efficient removal in typically under 5 minutes

Mild redness may occur immediately after treatment, but this subsides within a few hours. You can return to your normal schedule and daily skincare routine right away.

Real People, Real Results

Milia Removal FAQ

What are milia?

Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin's surface. They're essentially tiny cysts filled with dead skin cells and are completely harmless, though many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons.

Can I remove milia at home?

We strongly advise against attempting to remove milia at home. Unlike pimples, milia don't have an opening on the skin's surface, making them difficult and potentially harmful to extract yourself. Professional removal ensures safe, effective results without scarring or infection risk.

Does milia removal hurt?

The procedure is quick and relatively comfortable. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the extraction process, which typically takes under 5 minutes.

Will milia come back after removal?

When properly extracted by our trained professionals, the treated milia will not return in the same location. However, new milia can develop in other areas if the underlying causes (such as heavy skincare products or sun damage) aren't addressed. Our nurses will advise you on how to keep your skin clean and milia-free.

How long is the recovery time?

There is no downtime after milia removal. You may experience mild redness immediately following treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. You can resume your regular activities and skincare routine right away.

How do I prevent milia from forming?

Our trained nurses will provide personalized advice on keeping your skin milia-free, including:

  • Using non-comedogenic skincare products
  • Regular gentle exfoliation
  • Sun protection
  • Proper cleansing routine

You can help prevent milia by using Revoderm's professional-grade products to avoid feeding oil glands that can lead to future milia.
