Our skilled cosmetic surgeons are experts in milia removal treatments, providing a full range of medically proven treatments. Our doctors are dedicated to help you achieve your desired skin.
Watch as your skin transforms and tunes up, taking away those milia spots, while giving you an extra glow making you feel confident about that beautiful blemish free complexion.
What does milia removal treatment do?
Milia are the small hard bumps found on the skin, often appearing like a white or yellow cyst. Most common on the face and around the eyes, cheeks but can be found anywhere else along the body. These bumps are keratin-filled and develop as the dead skin cells build up below the surface of the skin.
We do not know all of the reasons for developing milia, though there are likely multiple factors involved. Overexposure to mild rays in the skin and long-term use of steroid creams can cause stretch picks on these areas. However, the incidence of milia appears to increase with age; many cases seen in middle-aged women and even newborn babies, indicating this isn’t just an age-related condition).
Although milia are generally harmless and often resolve on their own, many people decide to treat them for cosmetic purposes in order to improve the appearance or texture of their skin. Milia extractions are geared towards gently removing the little white hard balls that crop up anywhere on the skin, but most commonly around the eye and cheeks. This treatment brightens up the skin and prevents it from forming new milia.
Several benefits include:

It is preferable to begin with a consultation where expectations regarding the procedure, necessary preparations, and actions to be taken before, during, and after the treatment are established.
We are now focused on all the preparations that must be made, ensuring everything proceeds smoothly financially, emotionally, and physically before the procedure begins.
During the treatment, incisions are made in front of the ears and along the hairline to access the underlying facial muscles and tissues. The excess skin is then carefully removed, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Although recovery times may vary from person to person, most patients can resume their regular activities within two weeks or less.

Had Dr Omar for masseter Botox for the first time. He was very knowledgable and king and made sure I was completely at ease before injecting. Couldn’t recommend enough! Thanks again!

Milia can be removed from the skin in a number of different way, depending on how big the cyst is and just how many are clustered together.
A dermatologist will make a small incision in the milia over it with scalpel or needle and use a comedone extractor or very light forceps to remove the cyst.
This can be done by using liquid nitrogen to freeze the milia. The cyst is destroyed by the cold, it deflates and drops off to expose new clear skin beneath.
A concentrated laser beam is used to erase the milia, without harming the nearby skin. This causes the cyst to degrade, making it very easy to remove.
Chemical Peel with salicylic or glycolic acid exfoliant helps reduce the thickness of the skin. This helps your body slough off the dead skin from under milia and prompts new, healthy skin production.
It typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes for the average treatment session.–
An average treatment session usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.
While it may be tempting to prick milia cysts on your own, know that doing so can lead to scarring, infection and inflammation. However, attempting to do-it-yourself is not advised due to the risk of infection and potentially making a scar. At our clinical facility, effective milia removal treatments are done by expert dermatologists that provide patients with safe and effective treatments.
Expert dermatologists will assess your skin carefully, and then a personalised treatment plan will be made. A treatment plan will include the number of sessions and whether any follow-ups are needed before the start of the treatment.
Usually, depending on how it was removed, some redness, swelling and tenderness is seen in the area where removal happened. These are normal healing process and will generally resolve after a few days to weeks.

You need aftercare to heal properly. Here are a few important points to take note of:
Milia sometimes returns, but can you prevent it from happening again if you keep up with a good skincare routine:
Social interaction is more engaging when you have clear skin.
Provides confidence about looks creating a positive self-image.
Good for those who want to experiment with new products without fear of exacerbating skin concerns.
The recovery time following milia removal may vary by individual and especially depending on the treatment technique applied. For the majority, your skin should heal in about a week to ten days. But some may have redness, swelling that lasts longer. If you follow the instructions for after-care provided by your clinician, it will help with faster healing and better results.
If you have persistent milia, removal may be advantageous. That being said, you will want to address any active skin infection in the area first before moving forward.
A conversation with one of our dermatologist professionals can determine if this is therapy for you or not.
Their recommendations are customised so as to give you the best results depending on your skin status.
The removal of milia is a very swift and gentle procedure which should not cause much damage to the skin. But, there are tiny potential compromises like pitted scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Infections Although infections are rare following this treatment, they can occur.
