Milia Extraction
Safe and effective removal of milia for smoother skin.
Milia are small, keratin-filled cysts that commonly appear on the face, often around the eyes, nose, or cheeks. While harmless, they can affect the skin’s texture and appearance. At German Clinic in Dubai, our dermatologists provide professional milia extraction to restore smooth, healthy skin.

Overview
Milia are small, white or yellow bumps that form under the skin when dead skin cells become trapped. They are common in people of all ages and are typically painless but can be persistent without treatment. Milia extraction is a simple, effective procedure performed by dermatologists to safely remove these cysts.
Benefits of Milia Extraction
Professional milia extraction offers several benefits:
- Safe removal without scarring or skin damage.
- Immediate improvement in skin texture and appearance.
- Prevention of infection or irritation from improper extraction.
- Expert guidance on preventing future milia formation.
- Personalized care for sensitive areas like around the eyes.
How It Works
Milia extraction is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that involves:
- Cleansing and preparing the skin to ensure a sterile environment.
- Using a fine needle or blade to create a small opening in the skin.
- Gently extracting the keratin-filled cyst using specialized tools.
- Applying soothing products to promote healing and reduce redness.
Milia are caused by trapped dead skin cells beneath the surface of the skin. They can result from factors like heavy skincare products, sun damage, or skin trauma.
Milia extraction is generally not painful. Patients may feel slight pressure or discomfort during the procedure, but it is quick and well-tolerated.
It’s not recommended to remove milia at home, as improper extraction can lead to scarring or infection. Professional treatment ensures safe and effective removal.
Preventative measures include using non-comedogenic skincare products, exfoliating regularly, and protecting your skin from sun damage.
Recovery is minimal. Some redness may occur immediately after the procedure but typically subsides within a day or two.
