What are Milia Seeds
Milia seeds, often referred to simply as milia, are small, white or yellowish cysts that typically appear on the face, especially around the eyes and cheeks. These tiny bumps are caused by keratin trapped beneath the surface of the skin, forming small, hard lumps. Unlike acne, milia do not have an opening on the surface of the skin, which makes them more challenging to remove with typical facial treatments.
Appearance: Small, white or yellowish bumps.
Cause: Trapped keratin beneath the skin.
Common Locations: Face, especially around the eyes and cheeks.
Removal process
At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we specialize in the safe and effective removal of milia seeds using high-temperature plasma technology. This advanced procedure involves applying a focused plasma beam to the affected area. The plasma generates high heat, which precisely targets the keratin stored under the skin, causing the milia to disintegrate without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treated area is left to heal, leading to clearer and smoother skin.
Technology: High-temperature plasma.
Process: The plasma beam targets and disintegrates the keratin.
Outcome: Clearer and smoother skin with minimal downtime.

This step is crucial to create a tailored treatment plan and ensure all affected areas are addressed.
Marking the Areas: The identified milia seeds are then marked on your skin to guide the removal process. This ensures precision and thoroughness during the treatment.

Preparation: Before the removal procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the marked areas. This cream helps minimize any discomfort during the treatment.

The process & What to expect
Milia, also known as “milk spots,” are small, white or yellowish cysts that commonly appear on the skin, especially around the eyes and cheeks. These tiny bumps are formed by trapped keratin under the skin’s surface and are often mistaken for other skin conditions such as whiteheads or baby acne. In medical contexts, milia may also be referred to as “epidermoid cysts” or “keratin bumps.” These terms highlight the nature of the bumps, which are harmless and generally painless. For broader understanding and to reach a wider audience, it is useful to recognize that milia might also be called “sebaceous cysts” or simply “skin cysts,” despite subtle differences. Whether you’re dealing with “milium” (the singular form) or a cluster of these bumps, it’s important to know that they are common and can affect individuals of all ages .
