For the past few months I have been having an extreme milia problem… you know those tough white heads that are under the skin. This is something I’ve never had before! I’m getting married in 4 months and I need a fix to this issue…
Re: Milia.
Just to clarify, milia are not white heads.
I tend to get these on my eyelids or near my eyes... thankfully not too many or often. I initially did not know what they were or that they could be removed until my first electrologist bought it up. She used electrolysis to remove them. A couple of years later, with a much more experienced, skilled and advanced electrologist, I had them removed with a simple hypodermic needle. This electrologist explained that milia are very much on the surface and can be removed with minimal skin damage and that electrolysis was overkill. This method was almost painless as well.
You should be able to go to a cosmetic clinic to have them removed. I just happened to have them removed by electrologists since they did them for free during my hair removal appointments.
Re: Milia.
thanks for the help! I do get electrolysis I can ask her if she can use that to remove it, If not i'll go to a clinic ... I have them all around my side burn and chin area... My question is what could prevent the milia from forming?
Re: Milia.
Personally I'd go with the needle extraction because the reaction is much less meaning you skin will heal much faster. When you have more than just a few to remove, it will make a difference.
Some people are just more prone to milia but generally the situation can be helped with a good skincare regime involving keeping the skin exfoliated and moisturised. Makeup generally doesn't help... so make sure you remove it thoroughly when you do wear it.
Think about using an AHA cleanser.
Re: Milia.
Many spa's remove milia as part of a regular facial. I've had several removed in the past. I recently had one form on my eye lid and am looking into scheduling an appointment for a facial to get it removed
