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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
