WHAT IS MILLIA? Milia are small, white or yellowish cysts that develop when keratin—a protein found in skin, hair, and nails—becomes trapped beneath the outer layer of the skin. They are common in both children and adults and are most often found around the eyes, cheeks, nose, and mouth. Milia are typically harmless, painless, and non-inflammatory, though their appearance can be bothersome for many people. Unlike acne, milia are not caused by clogged pores or bacteria. Instead, they may form due to factors such as: -Heavy or occlusive skincare products that block the natural shedding of skin cells -Sun damage, which can thicken the skin and make natural exfoliation more difficult -Skin trauma or burns, including after laser treatments or dermabrasion -Genetic predisposition or skin conditions like rosacea While milia often resolve on their own over time, professional removal is recommended if they persist or cause cosmetic concern. Our advanced skin specialist, Kasia, offers personalised consultations to assess your skin type and determine the most effective treatment. Milia removal is quick, safe, and minimally invasive, using sterile tools to ensure the best possible results with minimal discomfort.
