What Is Milia and How Can It Be Treated?

Milia are small, white or flesh-colored bumps that form when dead skin cells get trapped beneath the surface. They’re commonly found around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead and are often mistaken for whiteheads, but they don’t come from clogged pores. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we treat milia using the Skin Classic a high-frequency, non-invasive device that dehydrates the bump at the surface, allowing the skin to heal and clear naturally. Treatment is safe, and highly targeted, with little downtime.

Where Milia Commonly Appear and Who It Affects

Milia can form in people of all ages and skin types, though it’s especially common in adults with dry or sensitive skin. It most often appears around the eyes, nose, cheeks, and forehead. Because these areas are delicate, Skin Classic’s precise treatment makes it an ideal option for safe removal.

What to Expect During and After Milia Treatment

Milia treatment with the Skin Classic device is quick and non-invasive. Most clients describe the sensation as a light zap or sting, lasting just a second or two per bump. After treatment, the area may appear red or slightly raised before forming a tiny scab. This crust will naturally fall off within 5 to 10 days, revealing smoother skin underneath. It’s important not to pick at the area during healing. Most people return to normal activities right away with little to no downtime.

Why Skin Classic Is Ideal for Milia Removal

Unlike traditional extraction methods that can irritate the skin or leave marks, Skin Classic offers a precise, non-invasive way to treat milia. The high-frequency technology dehydrates the bump without damaging surrounding tissue, making it especially effective for delicate areas like the under-eye and cheeks. There’s no cutting, squeezing, or downtime just a quick, targeted treatment with excellent results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Milia

If you’re thinking about treating milia, you may have a few questions. We’ve answered a few of the most common ones below to help guide you.
