Milia are small, hard, white bumps that often appear around the eyes, cheeks, or nose. While harmless, they can be stubborn and difficult to remove with home remedies alone. At The Skin Investment Clinic Ltd, we provide safe, professional solutions to treat and prevent milia effectively.
What Causes Milia?
Milia form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface. Common triggers include:
- Sun damage or thick skincare products
- Skin trauma or burns
- Ageing, which slows natural exfoliation
- Certain cosmetic treatments that block pores
Professional Treatment Options
Milia cannot be safely removed by squeezing or picking. Our experts at The Skin Investment Clinic use gentle techniques such as:
- Extraction with sterile tools: Carefully removing the keratin without damaging surrounding skin.
- Topical treatments: Prescribed creams can help prevent recurrence in some cases.
- Laser or light-based treatments: For persistent or widespread milia.
Aftercare and Prevention
- Avoid heavy or pore-clogging skincare around the eyes and cheeks.
- Use gentle exfoliation to encourage natural skin turnover.
- Apply sunscreen daily to prevent sun-induced skin damage
