Milia Removal

Milia are small, white cysts that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. They commonly appear on the face, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. Milia removal is a cosmetic procedure that aims to safely extract these cysts without causing damage to the surrounding skin. The removal can be performed using various methods, including manual extraction with a sterile needle, laser treatment, or chemical exfoliation.
