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 skin tags. This technique is precise, effective, and minimally invasive.
Procedure: First, they will apply local anesthesia or numbing cream for 30 minutes for pain less procedure. Next, a fine probe delivers controlled RF energy to the skin tag, causing it to heat up and be removed with minimal discomfort.
Recovery: Minimal downtime; slight redness or swelling may occur, typically resolving within a few days.
Effectiveness: Highly effective with a low risk of scarring.
Needle Extraction- For individual or deeply embedded milia, surgical removal is a highly effective option. This procedure is performed by a trained professional who uses a sterile, fine-tipped needle to gently puncture the milia. 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 is done with 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.
