Milia Extractions

WHAT ARE MILIA?

Milia are tiny, painless white bumps that appear on the skin, often creating a rough and uneven texture. They may seem to develop suddenly and are commonly found on the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks.

WHAT CAUSES MILIA?

Milia are typically associated with some form of damage or trauma to the skin, such as:

• Skin Resurfacing Procedures: Peels, laser resurfacing, or dermabrasion can trigger milia formation.
• Long-Term Use of Steroid Creams: Prolonged use of certain topical steroids may contribute to milia development.
• Long-Term Sun Damage: Sun exposure can damage the skin and lead to milia.
• Poor Product Use: Heavy or occlusive skincare products can trap dead skin cells, contributing to the formation of milia.
• Insufficient Exfoliation: A lack of proper exfoliation can cause dead skin cells to become trapped beneath the skin's surface, leading to milia.

WHAT MILIA ARE NOT

• Not Painful: Milia are harmless and cause no pain.
• Not a Health Concern: While they may be bothersome cosmetically, they pose no risk to your health.
• Not Filled with Pus: Unlike pimples, milia are not filled with pus but rather contain keratin, a protein found in the skin.
• Not Caused by Inflammation or Clogged Pores: Milia are not the result of clogged pores or inflammation like acne.

PRICING

Prices vary based on the size and severity of the milia.
