Are you looking for a solution to soften your skin and get rid of those bumps with whiteheads all over your skin?
A Fotona laser can remove those bumps without leaving any scars.
What is a Milium Cyst?
The Fotona laser is an effective treatment for milia removal.
Milium cyst are millimetric yellowish-white, asymptomatic, benign papules located on the face.
They are originated from the hair follicles or the eccrine ducts glands, where there is an accumulation of keratin beneath the surface of the skin. The milium cyst are often found in groups called Milia.
How This Treatment Works
Milia are superficial keratin-filled cysts, and laser treatment works by:
- Creating a small opening in the skin to release the trapped keratin. Precisely ablates the stratum corneum and upper epidermis where milia are located.
- Vaporizing the lesion with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue.
Fotona laser offers fast healing and reduced risk of PIH compared to CO₂ lasers.
We simply remove those white headed bumps with a laser, one by one.
What are the Benefits?
- Efficacy: Very effective for single or clustered milia, especially when other methods (manual extraction or topical exfoliants) fail.
- Pain/Discomfort: Minimal; often no anesthesia needed.
- Downtime: Low—mild redness or pinpoint scabbing for 1–3 days.
- Safety: Lower risk of scarring or pigment changes with Er:YAG vs. CO₂, making it a good choice for sensitive or darker skin types.
Who is a good candidate?
- Resistant or recurrent milia.
- Around delicate areas (e.g., periorbital) where manual extraction is risky.
- Patients seeking scarless, precision treatment.
How long does this treatment take?
A single session is sufficient for the total elimination of the lesion. The length of the treatment depends on the number of lesions that we need to remove.
Reclaim smoothness and blemish-free skin.
Quick and low-impact treatment is available for removal of Milia.
