Description

Milia are small, white spots that usually appear around the eyes, cheeks and the eyelids and are simply a blocked pore filled with a protein called Keratin which hardens. They are unsightly and become bothersome when multiple. Electrolysis is a safe, effective, quick and affordable method of treating milia.

Cause

The exact cause of Milia is unknown but they are often related to a high cholesterol diet; dry dehydrated skin; high intake of vitamin C; using products on the face which are too rich or acidic and there is possibly a heredity link.

Treatment

A small probe about the size of an eyelash is inserted into the centre of the Milia. A small stinging sensation will be felt and a popping sensation may be experienced as the Milia is treated.

Aftercare

Following your treatment you may experience:

• A slight reddening/swelling of the skin in the area.
• Warmth in the area that has been treated.
• The appearance of the Milia may change, it may whiten, became more pronounced and obvious or alternatively it can flatten at the time of treatment.
• A tiny scab may appear which will eventually fall away naturally.
• The skin may feel itchy as the healing process takes place.

Treatment Price

• Treatment price starts from £50.00.
