Milia Removal
If you’re concerned about small white bumps on your skin, our experienced practitioners can assess whether they are milia and discuss the most suitable treatment options. We provide professional consultations, personalised advice and safe treatment recommendations to help improve your skin’s appearance with confidence. Milia are harmless but can be persistent, especially around the eyes, and professional assessment helps determine the best approach.
milia
What are milia?
Milia are tiny white or yellowish bumps that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface. They commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks, nose and forehead and are often mistaken for whiteheads. Unlike acne, milia cannot usually be squeezed or popped safely at home. Although they are harmless, many people choose professional removal for cosmetic reasons or when the bumps become persistent.
