MILIA

Milia are very small, white or yellowish bumps most often seen around the cheeks, nose, eyes forehead and chest and are tiny cysts filled with the protein, Keratin. They are often found in groups and are harmless.

They are a retention of keratin and sebaceous material within the pilosebaceous duct, eccrine sweat duct, or the sebaceous collar surrounding vellus hair.

​

There are usually two ways for Milia removal, the most common is extraction where the tip of the Milia is lanced and the contents extracted. The second is using advanced electrolysis to effectively burn the Milia off. Both of these treatments are painless and you will be able to return to normal activities immediately.
