MILIA REMOVAL  CHESHIRE

Milia are small, white cysts that form just beneath the skin's surface. They are generally painless and harmless, but many people find them to be a cosmetic concern. Aesthetica Medical in Altrincham has excellent treatment options open for you.

WHAT CAUSES MILIA?

Milia develop when tiny skin flakes or dead skin cells become trapped beneath the skin's surface. There are two types:

PRIMARY MILIA

Often seen in infants, these usually clear up without treatment. In adults, they may have a genetic basis and aren’t linked to other health conditions.

 SECONDARY MILIA

These occur due to skin conditions or injuries. Triggers include prolonged sun exposure, blistering injuries, long-term use of heavy skincare products, or specific medications.

WHAT DO MILIA LOOK LIKE?

Milia are small, dome-shaped cysts with a pearly or white appearance, usually measuring 1-2 mm in diameter. They are most common on the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks, but can develop elsewhere. The most common place they seem to form is in the cheek bones, just below the eye socket. Unlike whiteheads, milia do not cause redness or inflammation. While they are painless, they often require targeted treatment for removal.

WHY OPT FOR PROFESSIONAL MILIA REMOVAL?

For the safe and effective removal of milia, choosing a professional practitioner is recommended. Milia are small, white cysts that can resemble whiteheads but differ significantly. They are keratin-filled and develop when skin cells become trapped under the skin's surface. A professional ensures precise removal, minimising the risk of scarring and irritation, and other complications.

AVOID DIY MILIA REMOVAL

Removing milia at home carries significant risks. Unlike regular pimples, milia lie deeper beneath the skin. Attempting to extract them yourself can result in skin damage, infection, or scarring. Using improper techniques may also cause inflammation or worsen the skin's condition. Professional care ensures safe and effective removal.

BENEFITS OF HAVING PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT

Professional milia removal is a safe and effective option. Trained skincare professionals use sterile tools and have the expertise to extract milia with a low risk of scarring or infection. They can also offer personalised advice and treatments to help prevent future milia, supporting the overall health and appearance of your skin.

CRYOPEN TREATMENT: AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION OF MILIA REMOVAL

CryoPen treatment offers one of the most effective approaches for the removal of milia. This advanced technique uses precise bursts of extremely cold nitrous oxide to target and eliminate milia without affecting the surrounding skin. The cold temperature causes the milia to freeze, breaking down the trapped keratin and allowing the body to naturally absorb the treated cells over time.

CryoPen treatment is particularly effective for small, localised areas and can be used on sensitive regions like the face. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes per area, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Unlike traditional methods, CryoPen treatment has a reduced risk of scarring and requires little to no downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an efficient and minimally invasive solution for milia removal.

After treatment, patients may notice slight redness or a tingling sensation, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours. With CryoPen, you can achieve smoother, clearer skin, targeting milia with precision and care.

HOW DOES CRYOPEN WORK?

CryoPen uses a pen-like device to deliver a focused burst of cold nitrous oxide directly to the milia. This extreme cold freezes the milia, causing the trapped keratin to break down. The body then absorbs the treated cells naturally over time. The procedure is quick, often taking just a few minutes, and is known for its precision and minimal discomfort.

ADVANTAGES OF THE CRYOPEN TREATMENT

CryoPen treatment offers several benefits for milia removal. It is a minimally invasive option, reducing the risk of scarring or infection. The procedure is quick, often delivering visible results in just one session. Its precise application makes it particularly suitable for targeting milia in delicate or difficult-to-reach areas, such as around the eyes. With a CryoPen treatment, patients can expect to achieve effective results with minimal downtime and discomfort.

MILIA REMOVAL PROCESS USING CRYOPEN

At our Cheshire clinic, we provide an effective, minimally invasive solution for removing milia using CryoPen treatment. CryoPen is a modern cryotherapy device that uses extreme cold to precisely target and remove unwanted skin imperfections, including milia. Here’s what to expect from the process:

Consultation: Your first step is a consultation at our clinic, where our experienced dermatologists will assess the milia and determine if CryoPen is suitable for your needs. This is your opportunity to ask anything you like about the process.
CryoPen Application: During the procedure, a precise pen-like device delivers cold nitrous oxide to the milia. The cold freezes the milia, causing them to break down.
Quick and Minimal Discomfort: CryoPen treatment is fast, usually lasting just a few minutes. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the process.
Healing Process: After treatment, the milia may darken or form a small scab. This is a temporary part of the healing process. Within a few days to a week, the treated area will shed, revealing smoother, milia-free skin.
CryoPen treatment is a safe and effective method for removing milia with a low risk of scarring. Most patients can resume daily activities right after the procedure.
