Milia Removal
Our experienced team of healthcare professionals at Doctor Edges is dedicated to enhancing your skin's health and beauty. One of the specialized services we offer is Milia Removal, a safe and effective procedure to address these small, stubborn bumps that can appear on the skin.
What are Milia?
Milia are small, white or yellowish cysts that commonly appear on the face. These tiny, benign bumps are often mistaken for whiteheads but are actually keratin-filled cysts that form beneath the skin's surface.
Our Approach:
At Doctor Edges, we understand the impact that milia can have on your skin's appearance and your confidence. Our expert physicians employ advanced techniques to safely and effectively remove milia, providing you with smoother and clearer skin.
The Procedure:
The Milia Removal procedure is a quick and minimally invasive process. We offer two options: removal for up to 15 milia or up to 30 milia, dependent on the amount you want removed. Our skilled dermatologists will carefully extract the cysts using specialized tools, ensuring precision and minimal discomfort. The procedure is performed in a sterile environment to guarantee your safety and well-being.

What causes milia to form?
Milia form when dead skin cells become trapped in small pockets near the skin surface. Factors such as ineffective exfoliation, use of heavy skincare products, or skin trauma can contribute to their development.
Is milia removal a painful procedure?
Milia removal is a minimally invasive procedure, and discomfort is typically minimal. Our physicians use specialized tools to carefully extract the cysts, ensuring a relatively painless experience.
How long does the milia removal procedure take?
The duration of the procedure depends on the number and size of milia being removed. In most cases, it is a quick process that can be completed in a single session.
Are there any side effects or downtime after milia removal?
Patients may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but these side effects are temporary and generally subside within a few hours. There is typically no significant downtime, and patients can resume their normal activities.
Can I undergo milia removal if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, milia removal is suitable for individuals with sensitive skin. Our physicians take extra care to ensure a gentle procedure that minimizes the risk of irritation.
How soon will I see results after milia removal?
Results are often visible immediately after the procedure, with the skin appearing smoother and clearer. However, some mild redness or swelling may initially be present, but this typically resolves quickly.
Are there any post-procedure care instructions?
Patients are usually provided with post-procedure care instructions, which include avoiding excessive sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and refraining from picking or squeezing the treated area.
Can milia come back after removal?
While the removal process is effective, it does not guarantee that new milia won't form in the future. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and addressing potential contributing factors can help minimize the likelihood of recurrence.
