Milia Removal

What is Milia?

Milia are small, pearly white bumps that commonly appear on the face, especially under the eyes. Although these bumps are not harmful, they can be quite persistent and frustrating to deal with. The good news is that these unsightly blemishes can be removed. At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, our skin specialists can perform a milia removal treatment safely and effectively. We also provide advice on how to prevent them from recurring.

It’s important to differentiate between milia and spots (whiteheads), as they may look similar but are not the same. Unlike spots, milia do not turn red or become inflamed. They are found on drier areas of the skin, such as the eyelids, and consist of solid lumps of dead skin.

Milia Removal with Advanced Electrolysis

At Premier Laser & Skin Clinic, we specialise in the treatment of milia using advanced electrolysis techniques. Milia, which are small, white keratin-filled cysts that appear just under the surface of the skin, can be notoriously difficult to remove with conventional methods. Our advanced electrolysis treatment provides a safe, precise, and effective solution.

Our Advanced Electrolysis Technique

Electrolysis is a method traditionally used for hair removal, but its precision makes it an ideal treatment for milia as well. Our practitioners use a fine, sterilised probe to apply a small electrical current to each cyst. This current breaks down the keratin and allows the body to absorb and expel the cyst naturally.

Benefits of Electrolysis for Milia Removal

• Precision: The targeted application ensures that only the affected area is treated, leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
• Safety: The procedure is minimally invasive, reducing the risk of scarring or infection.
• Comfort: We prioritise patient comfort, ensuring that the treatment is as pain-free as possible.
• Effectiveness: Advanced electrolysis provides immediate results, with the treated milia typically disappearing within a few days.
