What Is Milia Extraction?

Milia are small, white cysts that form when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of your skin, often around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead. While harmless, they can be difficult to remove without professional help. At MD Treatment Lounge, our certified medical estheticians use precise, sterile techniques to safely extract milia, leaving your skin smooth, even, and healthy-looking.

How to Know If You Have Milia

You might have milia if you notice:

  • Small, white or pearl-like bumps under the skin that don’t pop or clear easily.
  • Firm, painless spots commonly found around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead.
  • Bumps that don’t change or go away despite regular exfoliation or skincare products.
  • Skin that appears textured or uneven in areas with clustered milia.

If these signs sound familiar, it’s best to book a professional consultation. Our team will confirm the diagnosis and recommend the safest, most effective extraction method for your skin type.

Pre-Treatment Care

Before your milia extraction appointment, we recommend a few simple steps to prepare your skin and ensure the best results:

  • Avoid exfoliation or active skincare products (like retinol, AHAs, or BHAs) for at least 3–5 days before treatment to prevent skin sensitivity.
  • Skip facials or waxing in the treatment area one week prior.
  • Keep your skin clean and hydrated, gentle cleansing and moisturizing help prepare your skin for extraction.
  • Inform our esthetician if you are using any prescribed topical creams, acne medication, or have had recent cosmetic procedures.

Post-Treatment Care

After your milia extraction, following proper aftercare is key to healing and maintaining clear, healthy skin:
