Milia Removal
Milia removal is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to extract tiny, raised bumps on the skin called milia. These white bumps typically occur in clusters on the face or hands, particularly on the chin and cheek area, and are caused by clogged oil ducts beneath the surface of the skin. Milia removal can be performed using various methods such as comedone extractors, sterilized needles, or chemical peels to gently open and extract the milia without damaging surrounding skin. The procedure is usually quick and painless, with minimal downtime and risks involved.
