Milia Treatment in Albuquerque, NM Using Skin Classic Technology
Gently and safely treat milia with non-invasive high-frequency technology. Skin Classic targets these small, white bumps with precision no surgery, no downtime.
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. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we’ve answered some of the most common ones below to help guide you.
What is the root cause of milia?
Milia form when dead skin cells get trapped beneath the surface instead of shedding naturally. This can result from skin damage, rich creams, or natural skin turnover, especially in dry or mature skin types. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we often see milia in delicate areas like under the eyes or cheeks, and we use the Skin Classic device for safe, targeted removal.
Is milia fungal or bacterial?
Milia are neither fungal nor bacterial. They’re small, benign cysts made of keratin, a protein in the skin. They aren’t infections and are not contagious.
Can milia be popped?
Milia cannot be popped like a pimple because they’re covered by a layer of skin. Trying to squeeze them can cause irritation, scarring, or infection. At My Skin Esthetics in Albuquerque, we safely remove milia using Skin Classic, which clears them without damaging surrounding skin.
Is milia caused by poor hygiene?
Milia are not related to hygiene. They form when dead skin cells become trapped under the surface, not from dirt or oil. Even people with excellent skincare routines can develop them, especially if they have dry, sensitive, or aging skin.
What can be mistaken for milia?
Milia are often confused with whiteheads, clogged pores, or sebaceous hyperplasia. Unlike acne, they aren’t caused by inflammation or oil buildup and don’t respond to typical acne treatments. At My Skin Esthetics, we help clients identify whether they’re dealing with milia or another skin condition and recommend the right treatment.
