Milia, those tiny, pearly white bumps that often appear on the face, are a common dermatological concern. These small cysts develop when dead skin cells and keratin (a protein found in the outermost skin layer) become trapped beneath the skin's surface, forming small, hard, and painless bumps. Milia are typically found around the eyes, cheeks, nose, and forehead, and while they are usually harmless, their presence can be frustrating, particularly when they affect your complexion.

​

How do Milia form?

Milia can occur for various reasons. One common cause is the inability of the skin to naturally exfoliate dead skin cells, leading to their accumulation in tiny pockets just beneath the skin's surface. Other factors that can contribute to milia include the use of heavy cosmetics, certain skin care products, or even sun damage. While milia often disappear on their own, they can persist for extended periods, prompting individuals to seek removal options.

​

Electrolysis for Milia Removal: The Process: 

Electrolysis, a versatile technique known for its permanent hair removal capabilities, can also effectively address milia. During the procedure, a skilled technician employs a fine probe to target the milium (singular of milia). A small electrical current is then applied, generating heat that safely and precisely coagulates the cyst. This causes the milium to break down, allowing the trapped keratin and dead skin cells to be reabsorbed by the body. Over time, the milium gradually disappears, leaving behind smoother and clearer skin.

Why Choose Electrolysis for Milia Removal? 

Electrolysis offers several advantages for addressing milia. It is a minimally invasive and precise treatment suitable for various skin types and tones. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Furthermore, electrolysis ensures minimal damage to the surrounding skin, reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. The results are not only long-lasting but also contribute to a more radiant and blemish-free complexion. For those looking to bid farewell to the frustration of milia, electrolysis provides a reliable and effective solution.
