Milia

Milia are tiny cysts that contain keratin and sebum (lipid epithelial plugs or epidermal inclusion cysts). They are usually white, firm to touch and the size of a pinhead. Milia most commonly occur over the upper cheeks and under the eyes, but can occur anywhere on the body.

They can appear on their own or in clusters. The exact cause is unknown but they can develop after any skin trauma. It is also thought that the use of heavy, rich creams or a change in facial products can be the cause of their appearance.

They are seen more often after holidays when rich sun creams have been used to protect the skin from the sun.

​

Milia removal with advanced electrolysis is a quick and easy treatment. A fine heated probe (needle) is used to desiccate the contents of the milia and the remaining tissue is absorbed into the body with no need for extraction.
