Milia are small, white or yellow bumps that may resemble whiteheads but aren’t acne. While common in infants, they can appear at any age and are usually harmless, affecting only your appearance.
Milia extraction treatment is a safe, dermatologist-performed procedure to remove these tiny cysts, especially from sensitive areas like the eyelids or cheeks, without damaging the skin.
Types of milia:
For persistent or extensive milia, consulting a dermatologist ensures safe removal. The cost of milia extraction typically depends on the number and location of cysts. At Evenly, we offer customized milia extraction treatment plans with transparent pricing, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of extraction cost.
Thicken the outer layer of the skin, trapping keratin and leading to milia formation.
Milia can develop after the skin is damaged due to burns, blistering rashes, or injuries.
Oil-based creams, thick moisturizers, or heavy makeup can clog pores, increasing the likelihood of milia.
Not exfoliating the skin regularly can cause a build-up of dead skin cells, contributing to milia.
Milia are common in newborns, where they are thought to occur due to immature sweat glands.
Some people may be more prone to milia due to their genetic makeup.
A thorough consultation with our board-certified dermatologist to discuss the milia, its history, and removal options.
Disclosure of any health conditions, medications, and allergies.
Our dermatologists will create a personalized treatment plan as per your unique needs, sessions required.
The dermatologist will implement the recommended treatment to deliver accurate, safe and effective results. The procedure typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity.

Glycolic Acid and Retinoids – These topical treatments are often the first line of defense against milia. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), works by gently exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, helping to prevent the buildup of dead skin cells that can trap keratin, leading to milia. Retinoids, derived from vitamin A, accelerate skin cell turnover, which aids in the expulsion of trapped keratin and encourages the formation of fresh, clear skin.
Radiofrequency ablation is a state-of-the-art method that uses high-frequency electrical currents to heat and remove milia. This technique is precise, effective, and minimally invasive.
Needle Extraction – For individual or deeply embedded milia, surgical removal is a highly effective option. This milia extraction treatment is performed by a trained professional who uses a sterile, fine-tipped needle to gently puncture the milium. Once the surface is broken, the contents of the cyst can be carefully extracted.
This method is ideal for larger or more stubborn milia that do not respond to other treatments. The procedure is quick, typically requiring only a few minutes, and causes minimal discomfort. After the extraction, the area is cleaned and treated to prevent infection, and patients can expect a swift recovery with little to no scarring.
