MILIA REMOVAL
Milia, also known as milk spots, are small, white or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the skin. They are primarily found on the face, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and nose, but can also develop on other areas of the body. Milia are often confused with whiteheads or acne, but they are not related to these common skin conditions. Milk spots are caused by the build-up of trapped oil and dead skin cells beneath the surface of the skin. This build-up forms a small, hard cyst that appears as a pearly white or yellow bump.
Milia can be classified into two types: primary milia and secondary milia. Primary milia are formed in the sebaceous glands and are typically seen in infants and adults. Secondary milia, on the other hand, are caused by factors such as injury, sun damage, or the use of certain skincare products.

MILIA TREATMENT
There are several methods for removing milia, though some are safer and more effective than others. The key thing is that it is essential to choose the right method based on the type and location of them, as well as considering your individual skin sensitivity. The most common ways to remove milia include:
Extraction: This is one of the most common methods for removing milia. This procedure is performed using a sterile needle or lancet to carefully puncture the skin and remove the trapped oil and dead skin cells. While extraction can be effective, it is crucial to have an expert clinician perform the procedure to prevent scarring or infection.
Chemical Peels: Selecting the right type of chemical peel containing ingredients such as salicylic acid or glycolic acid will help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores. Chemical peels can be effective in treating milia, but they can also cause irritation and redness, particularly for those with sensitive skin, we would recommend carrying out a small patch test area before selecting this method.
Cryotherapy: This method involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove milia. This procedure is typically performed by a dermatologist and can be effective in treating stubborn milk spots. However, cryotherapy can cause discomfort and redness in the treated area, and multiple sessions may be required for complete removal and is therefore not one of the methods we employ at Cleage Clinic..
Retinoids: Prescription-strength tretinoin is a retinoid that can help to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores, making them an effective treatment for milia. However, retinoids can be harsh on the skin and potential side effects can cause dryness, redness, and irritation so again if this is a potential option for you we could patch test first.
Laser Treatment: This procedure involves using a laser to target and destroy the trapped oil and dead skin cells beneath the skin's surface. Laser treatment can be effective in treating milia, but it can also cause redness, swelling, and discomfort. Depending on the number and closeness of your milia, multiple sessions may be recommended for complete removal and minimising these effects..
