Milia

At SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford, we provide expert care for Milia, offering safe and effective treatments to remove stubborn white cysts. Our personalised approach targets your unique skin concerns, helping you achieve smooth, clear, and naturally refreshed skin.

Procedure

Milia, while generally harmless, can be a persistent and somewhat bothersome skin concern. These tiny, dome-shaped cysts often appear in specific areas of the face, with the most common locations being the eyelids and beneath the eyes, as well as on the nose and cheeks.

While milium cysts are frequently associated with newborns, they can also emerge in adult life. The development of milia is linked to the entrapment of keratin, a protein found in skin, hair, and nail cells, beneath the skin’s surface.

This trapped keratin forms small, white, or yellowish cysts. It’s important to note that while milia itself doesn’t typically pose health risks, its occurrence may be more frequent on damaged or compromised skin. Individuals with a history of burns, blisters, sun damage, or those using steroid creams may be more prone to milium cysts.

At Skin Sense GP Clinic in Chelmsford, we offer a range of effective treatments for milia removal. These options include minor surgical procedures, micro needling, skin peels, retinoid creams (containing Vitamin A), and Plexr Soft Surgery.

Our dedicated team is committed to helping you achieve the clear, smooth complexion you desire by tailoring a treatment plan to suit your specific needs. Don’t let milia cysts affect your confidence; contact us today for a personalized solution.

Price

The cost of the treatment is determined by each patient’s individual needs and the personalised approach required for their treatment.

Disclaimer: Please be aware that results and benefits may vary from patient to patient taking into consideration factors such as age, lifestyle and medical history.
