Milia extraction (removal of milia and skin blemishes)

You may be wondering how these little bumps form. Simply put, milia can develop when your sebaceous and/or sweat glands become clogged, causing small cysts to form. This can happen to anyone, regardless of age or skin type. It is more common in skin that has suffered from sun damage or if milia runs in the family. The hereditary component in some syndromes and other skin conditions can promote milia formation.

Although it may be tempting, squeezing milia is not a good idea. They are different from blackheads; nothing will come out and you can damage your skin. It is best to leave them to a dermatologist.

Although it can be difficult to prevent milia completely, daily sun protection and proper hydration can help. It is also important to keep your skin clean with the right products for your skin type. Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and reduce the formation of milia over time. Treatment for milia focuses on safely and effectively removing the cysts and preventing new ones from forming.

Milia extraction is available as a standalone treatment or as an addition to another facial treatment.

In an independent appointment, both the consultation and the extraction are included. This treatment offers space for an extensive analysis and careful removal.

The treatment begins with a thorough evaluation of your skin condition. During this initial consultation, the nature and distribution of the milia is examined.

Professional removal

• Mechanical extraction: Using sterile instruments, the skin therapist makes a small incision or uses a needle to gently lift the 'roof' of the milia. This allows her to extract the accumulated keratin without causing significant damage to the skin.
• Chemical peel: Sometimes a light chemical peel may be recommended to exfoliate the top layer of skin, making the milia easier to remove.

Aftercare and prevention:

• Aftercare: After the treatment you will receive instructions for aftercare, such as avoiding direct sunlight and using specific hydrating or healing, anti-bacterial creams.
• Recommendations: To prevent future milia, the skin therapist can advise on adjustments to your skin care routine. Such as regular exfoliation of the skin, the use of non-comedogenic products and sun protection.
