Professional Milia Removal in Hamilton

They look like tiny white pearls under your skin.

You’ve tried exfoliating. You’ve tried expensive creams. You’ve definitely considered squeezing them (it doesn’t work). They just sit there around your eyes, on your cheeks, across your nose refusing to budge.

Here’s the truth: Milia aren’t like pimples or blackheads. They’re tiny keratin cysts trapped under the skin’s surface. No amount of scrubbing or popping will make them go away.

But professional extraction? That works. Fast.

At Vicaria Health, we remove milia safely and effectively so you can stop obsessing over those little white bumps and get back to feeling confident in your skin.

What Exactly Are Milia?

Let’s clear this up.

Milia (singular: milium) are small, hard, white bumps caused by keratin the same protein that makes up your hair and nails getting trapped beneath your skin’s surface.

They’re incredibly common and can show up at any age, though they’re especially frequent in:

• Newborns (baby milia usually go away on their own)
• Adults after skin damage, sun exposure, or certain skincare products
• People using heavy creams or oils that clog pores

Where they appear:

• Under and around the eyes
• Cheeks and nose
• Forehead
• Sometimes on the chest or genitals

Milia are not whiteheads. They’re not pimples. They don’t have an opening to the skin’s surface, which is why squeezing them doesn’t work and can actually cause scarring or infection.

Why Home Remedies Don’t Work

You’ve probably tried:

• Exfoliating scrubs and peels
• Retinol creams
• “Pore clearing” treatments
• Picking at them with your nails or tweezers

The problem? Milia are trapped under the skin. Surface treatments can’t reach them. And trying to extract them yourself risks damaging your skin, causing scarring, or introducing bacteria.

Professional extraction is the only reliable way to remove milia.

How We Remove Milia Safely

We use a simple, proven technique: sterile extraction.

Here’s the process:

1. We clean and prepare the area Ensuring everything is sterile to prevent infection
2. We create a tiny opening Using a sterile lancet or fine needle, we make a micro-incision in the skin’s surface
3. We extract the keratin Gentle pressure removes the trapped keratin cyst cleanly
4. That’s it The bump is gone, the opening heals within days

The entire process takes just a few minutes per milium. You might feel a tiny pinch when we make the opening, but it’s quick and well-tolerated. Most people are surprised by how easy it is.
