Milia is a skin condition that appears as small white bumps on the face where dead skin cells have become trapped beneath the skin, forming small cysts. They are fairly common, especially among infants, and often occur because the skin has not been exfoliated well. You should avoid scratching or picking at them, develop a good skincare routine, and use makeup and sunscreen that’s safe for the skin. Skin M.D. and Beyond also offers in-office treatment options for milia in Plano, TX.
Exfoliating Facials
Exfoliating facials are used to remove dead skin and assist new cell growth. They encourage healthier, brighter skin. This treatment is great for those with milia since the main cause behind it is poor exfoliation. By removing dead skin cells, you reduce the likelihood of bumps forming.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are another great solution for treating and preventing milia. With a chemical peel, a chemical solution is applied to the face to remove the top layers of the skin, revealing new, healthy skin. They come in light, medium, and deep peels, with each level going deeper into the skin tissue.
They are great for rejuvenating the skin and smoothing fine lines, pigmentation, and blemishes. This makes them effective for treating milia as well.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion utilizes a minimally invasive tool that gently exfoliates the skin, removing the thick outer layer of the skin. This treatment also effectively removes dead skin cells that may get trapped under new skin. Additionally, it is effective at treating scarring, sun damage, and other minor skin conditions.
DermaSweep
The DermaSweep removes the outer layer of skin using bristles to “sweep” away the dead skin. You can also choose to add on an Epi-Fusion Serum to further treat the skin. The DermaSweep provides you with a similar result as microdermabrasion.
