MILIA
Milia are tiny, white bumps that commonly appear on the skin's surface, often around the eyes, cheeks, and nose. These small cysts are harmless but can be cosmetically undesirable. At New Age Spa, located in Montreal and Laval, we provide safe and effective treatments to remove milia and restore your skin to its natural beauty. Learn more about our specialized procedures and how they can help you achieve a clearer complexion.
Understand SKIN MILIA
Milia are small cysts filled with keratin, typically appearing on the face. They are often found in people of all ages and can develop from skin damage, long-term sun exposure, or use of heavy skincare products. While milia are not painful or harmful, many individuals choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons.
EXPERT MILIA REMOVAL
Our skincare specialists are trained in the precise extraction of milia, using sterile tools to gently remove the cysts without damaging surrounding skin. Chemical Peels: Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for milia as they help to exfoliate the top layers of skin, facilitating the easier removal of milia and preventing new ones from forming. Microdermabrasion: This treatment uses a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. Microdermabrasion is excellent for treating milia, especially when they are located in delicate areas like under the eyes.

What causes milia and who gets them? Milia can be caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells that get trapped beneath the skin surface. They are common in all age groups, from babies to adults.
How do I know if I have milia? Milia appear as small, dome-shaped bumps that are white or yellowish. They are typically not painful or itchy.
Is milia removal safe? Yes, when performed by our trained professionals, milia removal is a safe procedure with minimal risks.
What can I expect during the milia removal process? The process involves cleansing the area, extracting the milia with sterile equipment, and applying a soothing agent to promote healing.
How can I prevent milia from recurring? Regular exfoliation, avoiding heavy creams, and protecting your skin from the sun can help prevent the formation of new milia.
Are there any side effects to milia removal treatments? Side effects are minimal but can include temporary redness or slight swelling at the treatment site, which typically subsides within a few hours.
How long does it take to see results after treatment? Results can be seen immediately after the removal of milia. The skin may take a few days to heal completely, depending on the treatment used.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
