Milia vs. Skin Tags: Understanding the Differences and Treatments

Milia and skin tags are common skin conditions that can affect your confidence and appearance. While they may seem similar at first glance, they are distinctly different in appearance, causes, and treatment methods. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we specialize in safe and effective removal solutions for both milia and skin tags, helping you achieve smooth, flawless skin.

- Blocked pores
- Sun damage
- Excessive use of heavy creams or oils
- Skin trauma, such as burns or rashes
Who is Affected: Milia can occur in people of all ages, from newborns to adults.
