Milia Removal
Looking for Milia Removal Near You?
Milia are small, hard, white or yellowish bumps that form just under the surface of the skin. Typically, these bumps appear around the eyes, cheeks, or nose, but they can show up anywhere on the face or even the body. Unlike pimples or acne, milia do not cause redness, inflammation, or pain, and they feel like tiny grains of sand or grit under the skin. While milia are harmless and non-contagious, they can be bothersome, especially when they appear on the face or in highly visible areas.
Causes of Milia
Milia occur when keratin, a protein found naturally in the skin, becomes trapped beneath the surface. This can happen for several reasons, including:
- Skin trauma or damage: Milia can form after an injury or irritation to the skin, such as burns, rashes, or skin treatments that damage the surface.
- Blocked sweat glands: In some cases, sweat glands may become blocked, causing keratin to become trapped beneath the skin. This is especially common in newborn babies, where milia are often seen on the face, but it can also affect adults.
Even though milia are benign and typically do not lead to more serious skin issues, they can be unsightly and uncomfortable, particularly if they appear in visible areas like the eyes or cheeks.
Treatment for Milia
In many cases, milia will resolve on their own over time. However, if you prefer to have them removed, the process is simple and quick. At Chequers Health, we offer a professional and effective treatment to remove milia, restoring the smooth appearance of your skin.
The most common method for milia removal is needle extraction, which is a straightforward procedure. During this process:
- The affected area is cleaned to ensure it is sterile.
- A sterile needle is used to make a tiny incision in the skin, just large enough to allow for the extraction of the milia.
- The contents of the milia are gently removed, leaving the skin looking smooth and clear.
