Milia
Treating Milia ..... Milia are small pearly-white bumps of skin that often appear in clusters just under the surface of the skin. Often called milk spots, milia are most commonly found around the sides and bottom of the eyes. They are small cysts containing keratin, which are harmless but may cause embarrassment or be slightly uncomfortable.
We use VeinAway for safe, pin-point accuracy that permanently removes each Milia with very little discomfort. Depending on the amount of Milia, the treatments are generally short with no significant downtime. You can return to a normal lifestyle post-treatment with minimum redness and very little sensitivity.

Who can get Milia?
Milia affects both males and females equally, from newborns through to more mature adults and older age. Milia or milk spots can occur at any age. They are particularly common in young babies, where they clear up on its own within a few weeks, with no treatment. Adult Milia can disappear on its own but often do require treatment..
Individuals with dry or acidic skin are more prone to Milia,
Milia is caused when the dead skin cells are unable to naturally shed themselves through natural exfoliation. When this happens, they get stuck under the skin and cause Milia or even Blackheads.

What is the cost to remove Milia?
We feel our cost or price to remove Milia, safely, quickly, and with minimum discomfort, is very fair. The cost to remove Milia is from £75. We have been treating Milia with V beauty, then Thermavein, and now VeinAway, since 2006. VeinAway is producing the very best results so far and yet we still feel we can keep the cost down to a realistic price, from £75, Every patient is consulted about their Milia prior to the treatment. The minimum price is for just a few Milia to be removed. If you have larger clusters of Milia on your face or body, then the price will be slightly more. However, it is worth having a conversation about the price and you will be given honest and transparent answers as to the prospected overall cost for larger clusters of Milia. This applies to both Beaconsfield and Maidenhead clinics.
What homecare/skincare should be used to treat Milia?
Milia should be treated in the clinic in order to remove the little white bumps permanently and safely. Sometimes at home, it may be possible to get rid of small Milia with some very gentle exfoliation. Do not scrub as these may lead to small red veins appearing (thread veins). Place a hot clean wet cloth on your skin for a few minutes. Apply a recommended exfoliator and gently rub in a circular motion, 3 times a week. This may disturb the skin, open the pores and let the dead cells out. As mentioned, the best way to treat and remove Milia safely is in-clinic.
What is the best way to remove Milia?
The best way is to speak to us at the clinic. With VeinAway, we will safely and quickly remove your Milia safely and permanently with little discomfort.
Following Milia / Xanthelasma treatment, you may experience:
- A slight reddening of the skin
- Warmth in the treated area. This subsides within a short time depending on skin type
- The area may change in appearance by becoming darker before disappearing
- A small scab may appear, although this is unusual
- Allow a week for Milia to disappear, although for Xanthelasma allow longer.
- No squeezing of area. This risks scarring
- You can wash or cleanse the treated area using perfume-free soap. Pat area dry
- Protect from UV radiation throughout the year with a minimum of SPF30
- Avoid swimming, saunas and steam rooms, waxing, and scrubs until the milia has disappeared
- Avoid fake tan products and irritants such as perfumes
- Only apply creams if absolutely necessary. Make sure they are not rich and skin-clogging.
What is Milia?
Milia are small white or sometimes yellow cysts, made from Keratin.
They are like tiny cysts. They are formed from debris such as sebum (the natural oil we produce to lubricate our skin).
This debris and dead skin cells can get trapped under the keratin and Milia can be formed.
What is the Keratin that forms Milia?
Keratin is a protein. This protein sits on the skin. But when bacteria is trapped beneath the skin, the Milia cysts or blackheads are formed.
What causes Milia?
Milia can be caused by debris building up under the keratin protein, sitting on the skin.
It can also be just something as simple as genetics.
No matter how good your skincare regime is, Milia can just surface out of the blue.
People who have more oil in their skin can be more prone to Milia also, due to the over production of sebum.
