Milia

Description

• Milia are tiny, white keratin-filled bumps that often appear around the eyes, cheeks, and face. They are harmless but do not go away with squeezing or over-the-counter products. At INTEGRITY Skin & DermCare, milia are removed safely and cosmetically through gentle extraction—a quick, precise procedure performed in-office under sterile technique.

  During extraction, Dr. Theresa Talens, DNP, FNP-C, uses a fine instrument to open the skin’s surface and remove the trapped keratin without damaging surrounding tissue. This treatment provides immediate improvement with minimal downtime and smoother, clearer skin.

When should I come in? 

Schedule a visit if you have:

• Small white bumps that have not improved with skincare

• Milia around the eyes, cheeks, or face that you want removed

• Bumps that are persistent, spreading, or cosmetically bothersome

• Texture irregularities affecting confidence or makeup application

Come in sooner if the bump becomes painful, red, or inflamed, as this may need evaluation before cosmetic extraction.
