Milia Removal

Milia removal with a needle is a straightforward procedure performed by a dermatologist. After cleansing the skin to prevent infection, a sterile, fine needle is used to carefully pierce the surface of the skin over the milia, which are small, white cysts. Once the cyst is opened, the dermatologist gently extracts the keratin-filled contents using light pressure or a comedone extractor. The procedure is generally painless, though there may be slight discomfort during the extraction. Afterward, the treated area is cleaned, and an antiseptic or soothing cream is applied to aid healing. Proper aftercare, such as keeping the area clean and avoiding harsh skincare products, ensures fast healing with minimal risk of scarring. The procedure provides immediate results and is effective for individual milia removal.
