Electrolysis
Milia Removal
Up to 3 Milia Removals
Milia is removed using short wave diathermy – a form of indirect current. Using a small needle, the current heats up the Milia and the energy created breaks down the fatty tissue, and it disperses into the body. How many sessions are needed? For smaller Milia, one session is all that is needed. However, for the larger Milia a second session may be needed 4 weeks later after it has healed.
Milia are small, white, keratin-filled cysts that commonly appear on the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. Our milia removal treatment uses short wave diathermy – a form of indirect electrical current – to safely and effectively remove these stubborn bumps.
A fine needle delivers controlled heat to break down the fatty tissue within the milia, allowing it to naturally disperse into the body. This precision technique ensures minimal discomfort and excellent results.
For smaller milia, one session is typically all that is needed for complete removal. Larger milia may require a follow-up session approximately 4 weeks later, once the initial treatment area has fully healed.
During your consultation, we will assess your milia and recommend the appropriate treatment plan.
After treatment, the area may appear slightly red or develop a small scab. This is normal and will heal naturally within 7-14 days. Avoid touching or picking at the treated area, keep it clean and dry, and apply sunscreen to protect the healing skin.
Avoid makeup on the treated area for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.

Milia Removal Process
Our gentle milia removal treatment is quick and effective. Here's what to expect:
Assessment
Your therapist will examine the milia to determine the best treatment approach. We'll explain the procedure and answer any questions.
Treatment
Using short wave diathermy, a small needle delivers controlled heat to the milia. This breaks down the fatty tissue, allowing it to disperse naturally into the body.
Aftercare
Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching it. Any redness will subside within a few hours. For larger milia, a follow-up may be needed after 4 weeks.
