Clearer skin, without picking or squeezing

Milia are small, firm, white or pale bumps that commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks and other areas of the face. They form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin.

Although milia are generally harmless and may sometimes clear naturally, they can remain for months and may become a cosmetic concern. Professional removal offers a safe, controlled alternative to attempting to squeeze or extract them at home.

At Beverley Alexandra, we use a precise plasma device to treat suitable milia while minimising disruption to the surrounding skin.

Milia removal may be suitable for

  • Small white or cream-coloured bumps
  • Milia around the cheeks, forehead or eye area
  • Individual milia or several small areas
  • Persistent milia that have not cleared naturally
  • Clients who would prefer professional removal rather than attempting extraction at home

Every appointment begins with an assessment to make sure the area is suitable for treatment.

How does milia removal work?

The plasma device delivers a very small, controlled arc of energy to the treatment area. This allows Beverley to work precisely on the unwanted milia without treating more surrounding skin than necessary.

A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before treatment to make the appointment more comfortable.

Following treatment, the area may appear red and small crusts may form. These should be allowed to heal and shed naturally.

What to expect after treatment

The treated area may feel sensitive and appear slightly red immediately after your appointment. Tiny crusts may develop as the skin heals.

It is important not to scratch, pick or remove these prematurely. Full aftercare instructions will be provided during your appointment.

The skin should also be protected from sun exposure while it is healing.

From the minute I walked through the door Bev made me feel at ease and comfortable. She has a lovely salon and her treatment was first class. Will definitely return to Bev for any other treatments I need

What a gorgeous place Beverley has created , it’s very stylish , relaxing and spotlessly clean . Beverley is just lovely, very knowledgeable , thoughtful with great attention to detail and makes you feel totally at ease . I have had a course of treatments on the body balancer which I feel has been extremely beneficial in reducing my night time leg cramps which in turn has improved my sleep . I would 100% recommend Beverley and her gorgeous clinic .🤗

I honestly cannot recommend Beverley enough. I went to her for my lips and, from the consultation onwards, I felt completely confident that I could trust her with my face.

One of the things I appreciated most was how honest and considered she was about what would actually suit me. There was absolutely no pressure to have more done, and I never felt like she was trying to sell me treatments I didn’t need. If anything, she kept me grounded about what would actually enhance my face while still keeping me looking like me — which is exactly what you want from someone you’re trusting with aesthetics.

And my lips… I am OBSESSED. They are genuinely stunning. They’re fuller and have such a beautiful shape, but still look completely natural. That was exactly what I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it. I still look like me — just enhanced in all the right places.

Beverley is also just lovely. She made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole appointment, and I came away feeling like she’d really listened to what I wanted rather than just giving me a generic result.

I’ll absolutely be going back to her for my Botox and I genuinely wouldn’t want to trust anybody else with my face now. If you’re nervous about aesthetics because you don’t want to look overdone, Beverley is exactly the person I’d recommend. She genuinely cares about getting the right result rather than simply doing more.

And judging by these lips, I think I chose very well. ❤️

Thank you, Beth x

FAQs

Milia are tiny cysts containing keratin, a protein naturally found in the skin. They typically appear as small white or pale bumps beneath the surface.

Milia are generally harmless and do not always require treatment. Some disappear naturally, while others remain for longer. Removal is usually chosen for cosmetic reasons or because the milia are bothering the client.

Milia do not usually have an open pore and can be difficult to squeeze. Attempting to pick or remove them yourself may irritate the skin and increase the risk of marking or infection.

The standard appointment includes the removal of up to five suitable milia. Larger areas or additional lesions can be discussed during your consultation.

The individual milia that have been treated should be removed, but new milia can develop elsewhere in the future.

Milia frequently appear around the eye area, but every lesion and treatment area must be assessed individually before treatment.

Beverley will assess the area before proceeding. Anything that appears unusual, cannot be confidently identified or requires medical investigation will not be treated, and you may be advised to speak to your GP or a dermatologist.

Beauty is not just about how you look, but how you feel.
