Milia Removal for Healthy Skin Appearance

Milia is a skin problem that is often seen in young people. However, it can also be seen rarely in older ages. Milia, which form as a result of clogging of the pores on the skin surface, manifest themselves as the thickening of the upper layer of the skin and the accumulation of oils. This can lead to the formation of white or yellowish lumps on the skin surface.

Milia treatment starts with skin care. But in some cases, professional help may be required. In cases where skin care is inadequate, the lesions can be opened using a small syringe or scalpel tip upon the recommendation of the physician.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

Before the milia removal procedure, anesthetic cream is used to numb the area. Then, the lesions are opened under sterile conditions and the accumulated oils are cleaned. After the procedure, the patient is sent home with appropriate care products and a prescription. Tiny crusts may appear on the skin, but these will disappear over time.

What Should Be Considered Afterwards?

Regular skin care is recommended to support skin recovery after milia removal. It is important to use appropriate products to balance oil production, especially in oily skin. Oil control methods such as carbon peeling can also be effective. In addition, control of the sebum-producing channels under the skin can be achieved with treatments such as Scarlet S (golden needle radiofrequency). Milia removal may involve a combination of various treatments.

How Many Sessions Are Required and What is the Processing Time?

Usually 1 to 2 sessions may be sufficient. However, this may vary depending on the individual’s situation. Processing time varies from approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

What is the duration of effect?

The effect of milia cleansing may vary depending on the person’s lifestyle and eating habits. On average, effective results are achieved for approximately 3 months. Regular skin care and use of the right products help the effect last for a long time.
