Milia Removal in Bexleyheath
From £100
Milia are small, firm bumps, usually white or yellowish in colour that typically appear on the face, especially around the eyes, cheeks or nose. These form when dead skin cells and keratin build up and become trapped under the skin’s surface.
How do we remove Milia at Persona Medical Aesthetics?
We offer two safe and effective options for removing milia at Persona: manual needle extraction and diathermy. Both methods provide precise removal with minimal impact to the surrounding skin.
- Manual needle extraction involves using a sterile needle to open the surface of the skin and gently extract the trapped contents from under the skin.
- Diathermy uses a controlled electric current to break down and dry out the milia, allowing the body to clear them naturally over the following days.
During your consultation, our team will assess the location, depth and number of milia to determine the best approach for your skin. In some cases, both techniques might be combined to achieve optimal results.
How does the treatment work?
The area is gently cleansed, and if necessary, the area is numbed with topical anesthetic to provide comfort, especially for more sensitive areas, such as under the eyes.
For manual needle extraction, the medical team will gently pierce the surface of each milium using a sterile needle. Then, with a comedone extractor, they will apply light pressure to release any contents that have been trapped.
For diathermy, they use a fine tipped probe to deliver tiny bursts of heat directly to each milium. The energy breaks down the keratin buildup and triggers a natural healing response.
There is little to no downtime post procedure and you can often return to your usual activities immediately.
What to expect from your Milia removal treatment
Some mild redness or tiny scabs might appear, particularly after diathermy, but these usually fade quickly.
When to expect results:
You’ll see visible improvement right after treatment, especially with manual extractions. For diathermy, results develop gradually as the body clears the dried milium over the next 5-10 days.
To prevent more milia from forming, we recommend using non-comedogenic skincare, especially around the eye area.
