At a glance
Technology
Milia are removed using a fine sterile needle or lancet to gently release the keratin contents — a precise, manual technique performed by a trained clinician. Blackheads are cleared using professional extractions, often combined with steam or a softening treatment to open the pores and minimise discomfort.
Results
Immediate clearance of treated milia and blackheads, leaving the skin visibly smoother and more refined. Addressing the underlying causes through a personalised skincare regime helps to prevent them returning.
sessions
Many clients see complete clearance in a single session. Those with larger areas of milia or persistent blackheads may benefit from a follow-up appointment, alongside a tailored skincare programme to prevent recurrence.
Process
The skin is cleansed before treatment. Milia removal and extractions are performed under good lighting with sterile instruments and typically take 30–60 minutes depending on the extent of the concern.
works for
Milia (small, white keratin-filled cysts typically found around the eyes, cheeks, and nose) and blackheads (open comedones caused by oxidised sebum and debris in the pores). Both are common, harmless, and very effectively treated in clinic.
Downtime
Minimal. Some mild redness or tiny marks at treatment sites settle within a few hours. Clients are advised to keep the skin clean and avoid make-up for the remainder of the day.
