What Are These Little White Bumps on My Face?
Have you ever noticed those small white or yellowish bumps that appear on your cheeks, eyelids or forehead?
If they never seem to pop or budge, you’re probably dealing with milia.
Milia are little cysts filled with keratin that are located just under the skin. They’re not spots or blackheads or acne — and they don’t actually arise in blocked pores or oil. Instead they’re the result of dead skin cells or protein becoming trapped inside tiny pockets — likely when your skin doesn’t exfoliate properly or when it heals after being irritated or damaged.
So how do you safely eliminate them? The secret is to not pick at them or squeeze them. This can result in scarring or infection.
However, professional removal such as the cryotherapy treatment we offer at Cryosonic in Solihull is the safest and most effective way. It’s fast, it’s gentle and it’s engineered to respond to just the kind of skin concern we’re talking about.
Why My Milia Don’t Go Away by Themselves?
Some milia will dissolve on their own in time, but others hang around. That’s because they’re not like ordinary spots — there’s no opening, so the trapped keratin can’t escape naturally. Professional removal is frequently necessary to eliminate them altogether.
Is It Safe to Pop Milia at Home?
No, it’s not safe. Milia are not the same as pimples — they don’t pop, and you can damage your skin trying to do so or even introduce an infection. But it’s best to leave it to a professional to do it safely and hygienically.
How does Cryosonic at Solihull get rid of milia without harming your skin?
Here at Cryosonic, we use the technique known as cryotherapy to treat milia. This is done by administering a pinprick of gases (usually nitrous oxide or liquid nitrogen) to the milia using a pinpoint applicator.
The cold kills the little cyst, but doesn’t damage the surrounding skin. The treated area might scab a little and heal within days, revealing smooth and clear skin. The best part? There is no cutting, no squeezing and no invasive instruments.
Our staff are well-trained to treat even the most sensitive of areas such as the eyelids to make sure treatment is safe, precise and as comfortable as it can be.
What is Different about Milia Removal Solihull vs Regular Spot or Acne Treatment?
This is a question that’s asked a lot, and the answer matters.
Acne and pimples most commonly occur due to a blockage of the pore with oil, bacteria, or inflammation. Other treatments include topical creams, exfoliants, or oral medications that work by reducing the production of oil and getting rid of bacteria.
Milia do not weary oil or inflammation. They have no relation to acne or breakouts. It is trapped keratin that forms them and they are close to the surface of the skin — without the pore opening.
What that means is that your acne treatments of old won’t work. That’s why professional methods of milia removal Solihull, such as cryotherapy, are a more targeted answer to your problem that gets to the heart of the matter promptly and effectively.
How to Get Rid of Them and Keep Them from Coming Back After Surgery?
Proper skincare is another way to prevent milia from returning in the future.
Some of the common recommendations we give our clients include light exfoliation:
- Be gentle when exfoliating, 1-2 times a week so that your skin can naturally slough off excess dead skin cells.
- Avoid heavy or greasy products. These will barricade the skin and keep keratin in.
- Non-comedogenic skincare – this means products that don’t clog up pores in your skin.
- Protect your skin from the sun: Sun damage can cause milia, so make sure to apply SPF every day.
- Be gentle on your skin Over exfoliation, harsh scrubs or regular inflamed skin may all cause a higher likelihood of milia forming.
And even if they do, it’s no big deal. We’re right here in Solihull to help you remove them, safely and professionally.
