Milia Seed Removal

Milia, also called a milk spot or an oil seed, is a clog of the eccrine sweat gland. It is a keratin-filled cyst that can appear just under the epidermis or on the roof of the mouth. They are usually found around the nose and eyes, and sometimes on the genitalia, often mistaken by those affected as warts. Milia can also be confused with stubborn whiteheads.

In most cases, milia will disappear on their own within a few months. However, If the milia on your face are irritating you, don�t pick at the affected area. Trying to remove milia can cause you to bleed, scab, and even scar.

Scraping the skin can also introduce germs to the area and cause an infection. As milia seeds don�t have a pore opening, it is best if they are treated with professional extraction techniques.

The Milia Seed Removal treatment offered by Skinssense can safely eliminate the seed and other oil clog problems in a non-invasive method. The results are immediate and the healing process will reveal a new clearer and smoother skin.

Our Milia Seed Removal Treatment is a painless and safe process performed by our experienced and skilful clinician.

What Causes Milia Seeds

Milia seeds develop when skin flakes become trapped under the surface of the skin, or when keratin builds up and gets trapped.

Usually 1 to 2 millimetres (mm) in size, milia seeds are small, white, keratin-filled bumps that appear on the skin. They are usually 1 to 2 millimetres (mm) in size. They are bigger than whiteheads yet aren�t red and sore like pimples. They are painless but persistent and can be very difficult to get rid of.

There are a lot of factors that can cause milia seeds but the common ones are due to poor sun protection, lack of exfoliation, excessive use of soaps and cleansers, environmental pollutants, using creams that are too rich for your skin, hormonal change or damage to skin glands.

What most people don�t realise is while that rich moisturiser may be best at hydrating the skin, they also tend to be oil-based. When excessive oil accumulates and clogs up the sweat glands, milia seeds will form.
