Milia:

Tiny white hard beads under the surface of the skin. These usually appear around the eyes, eyelids and cheekbones

Milia are caused by excess sebum (oil) and dead skin cells that get trapped under the surface of the skin

Unlike blackheads, they cannot be squeezed out and removed.

They need to be removed in the salon environment where we will gently pierce the affected area with a sterile lancet and carefully ease it out. This ensures that there is no damage to the pore nor to the surrounding area

Mineral oil and some cosmetics may exacerbate the problem as does cumulative sun exposure

It helps to exfoliate regularly with a good quality exfoliate and to use appropriate skin care products. These will be recommended or prescribed as part of your salon treatment
