Milia are small, white or yellowish bumps that typically appear on the face, especially around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. These tiny cysts form when keratin (a protein found in the skin) becomes trapped beneath the surface, leading to the formation of hard, pearl-like bumps. While milia are harmless and painless, many individuals choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons. At Skin Rituals Aesthetic Clinic, we offer safe and effective milia removal treatments to help you achieve smooth, blemish-free skin.
What Causes Milia?
Milia occur when dead skin cells (keratin) get trapped under the skin rather than shedding naturally. They can appear for various reasons, including:
Newborn Milia: Common in infants, these bumps usually resolve on their own.
Skin Trauma or Injury: Milia may develop after burns, rashes, or skin injuries.
Sun Damage: Prolonged exposure to the sun can thicken the skin, leading to the formation of milia.
Use of Heavy Skincare Products: Creams or lotions that are too thick or occlusive can block pores, resulting in milia.
Aging Skin: As we age, skin cell turnover slows, leading to an increased risk of milia.
Why Consider Professional Milia Removal?
1) Safe and Effective Extraction:
Milia cannot be squeezed or removed like acne. Attempting to remove them at home may lead to skin damage, scarring, or infection. Professional extraction ensures safe and precise removal.
2) Cosmetic Concerns:
Milia can be unsightly, especially if they appear in visible areas like the face. Professional removal restores smooth, clear skin, improving the overall appearance.
3) Immediate Results:
Unlike topical treatments that may take weeks to show results, professional extraction provides immediate improvement in skin texture.
