MILIA EXTRACTIONS
Milia Extractions in San Antonio, Texas
SMALL BUMPS THAT WON'T GO AWAY?
Milia are small, firm, white or skin-colored bumps that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. They are very common and often appear around the eyes, cheeks, forehead, and other delicate areas of the face. Unlike acne, milia do not typically respond to regular exfoliation or skincare products and often require professional treatment to safely address them.
​
At The Lotus Medspa, we offer professional milia extraction treatments to help improve the appearance of these stubborn bumps and leave the skin looking smoother and clearer.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are Milia?​
​
Milia are tiny cyst-like bumps that develop when dead skin cells and keratin become trapped beneath the skin instead of naturally shedding away. They are benign and very common, but because they sit just under the skin’s surface, they can be difficult to treat at home.
​
Milia are often mistaken for whiteheads, but they are not the same thing and should not be picked or squeezed at home, especially in delicate areas such as the under eyes.
​
Professional treatment helps safely and precisely target the affected area while minimizing unnecessary irritation to the skin.
