Milia Removal Treatment in Hyderabad

Have you noticed small, persistent, white or yellowish bumps on your face, often around the eyes, cheeks, or nose? These are likely milia – tiny cysts filled with trapped keratin. While completely harmless, they can be cosmetically bothersome and difficult to remove safely at home. Attempting to squeeze them can lead to skin damage or scarring. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer safe, effective, and professional milia removal treatments to restore a smooth, clear skin surface.

Understanding Milia

Milia occur when keratin, a protein naturally found in skin, hair, and nails, becomes trapped beneath the outer layer of the skin, forming a tiny cyst. They are not related to acne or infection.

  • Primary Milia: Form spontaneously, often seen in infants but common in adults too.
  • Secondary Milia: Develop after skin damage, such as burns, blistering rashes (like poison ivy), dermabrasion, laser treatments, or long-term use of heavy creams or steroid creams.

Common Signs of Milia

  • Tiny (1-2 mm) pearly white or yellowish bumps.
  • Firm to the touch.
  • Most common on the face: around the eyes (lids and under-eye), cheeks, nose, forehead.
  • Can occur individually or in clusters.
  • Typically painless and not itchy.

Factors Contributing to Milia

  • Trapped Keratin: The primary cause.
  • Poor Natural Exfoliation: Dead skin cells not shedding properly.
  • Sun Damage: Can thicken the skin and contribute to formation.
  • Occlusive Skincare Products: Heavy creams or oils can sometimes trap keratin.
  • Skin Trauma or Inflammation: As seen in secondary milia.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals are more prone to developing them.

Our Tailored Approach to Milia Removal in Hyderabad We prioritise safe and effective removal with minimal risk of scarring:

  • Accurate Diagnosis: Confirming the bumps are milia and not another skin condition.
  • Assessment: Evaluating the number, location, and type (primary/secondary).
  • Sterile Technique: Using professional, sterile methods for extraction.
  • Personalised Advice: Recommending appropriate skincare to help prevent recurrence.
  • Gentle Procedures: Ensuring patient comfort during the removal process.

Professional Milia Removal Treatments at Dr. Nishita’s Clinic

Attempting removal at home is strongly discouraged. We offer:

Using a fine, sterile needle or lancet to create a tiny opening, followed by gentle extraction of the keratin plug. This is the most common method.
Using a fine-tipped electrical probe to precisely destroy the milia cyst.
Light freezing with liquid nitrogen can sometimes be used.
Prescription-strength retinoids can help exfoliate the skin and may prevent new milia formation, though less effective for existing ones.
Can aid in exfoliation and potentially reduce the likelihood of new milia forming.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No, milia are completely benign (non-cancerous) and harmless. Removal is typically for cosmetic reasons.
No, please don’t. Milia are cysts, not pimples. Squeezing is ineffective and can easily lead to inflammation, infection, and scarring.

Professional extraction involves minimal discomfort, often described as a tiny prick. Numbing cream is usually not required but can be used if needed.

While removed milia won’t return, new ones can form, especially if you are prone to them. Following skincare advice can help reduce recurrence.
