Milia grains
Milia grains are small white skin cysts that can form on the surface of the epidermis. They are usually located on the face, ears, back, chest, or hands and can affect all skin types.
In most cases, they are harmless but considered unsightly, leading those affected to seek solutions to make them disappear. Fortunately, minimally invasive, safe, and effective methods exist to treat this condition. Consulting healthcare professionals like those at Victoria Park Medispa allows for a safe solution to remove milia grains.
These experts carefully evaluate each case to determine the most effective treatment and minimize the risk of recurrence or scarring.
Milia grains: the causes
The appearance of these small cysts on the face or body is the result of a combination of triggering factors and specific causes. The main triggering factors include hormonal changes, skin trauma, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle habits such as UV exposure and smoking.
These elements disrupt the natural process of skin cell renewal, leading to the formation of cysts. Among the causes of milia grains, there is often an obstruction of the cavity where the hair root is located, as well as skin lesions caused by injuries or aggressive skin treatments such as overly harsh exfoliation. Certain underlying medical conditions, such as epidermolysis bullosa, can also contribute to the formation of these small unsightly pockets.
The evolution of this condition varies from person to person. In some individuals, milia grains may appear at times and disappear spontaneously, while in others, they may persist or even increase in number over time. Understanding the causes of milia grains with the help of a healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa is crucial to implementing targeted and personalized treatment strategies to eliminate this condition permanently.
Milia grains on the face
These small cysts can also form on the face. Milia grains are found around the eyes and on the eyelids. Due to the accumulation of keratin in these areas, these small white bumps form under and on the surface of the skin. On each part of the body, and especially on these very fragile areas, to safely remove milia grains, it is necessary to adopt a medical approach adapted to the location.

Milia grains: possible treatments
There are different treatments available at the medical spa to alleviate this unsightly skin condition. Among these options, the BELA MD treatment stands out for its non-invasive approach, suitable for the face and requiring no downtime. It combines cleansing, exfoliation, and blood flow stimulation to effectively and safely remove milia grains.
Excision, on the other hand, is a minor operation that involves removing the contents of the skin cysts after a small incision. This method, which requires a short recovery time and may cause mild temporary discomfort, may be preferable in cases where milia grains are persistent or at risk of infection.
While results vary depending on the case, each patient can expect significant reduction of the cysts after a session for these two milia grain treatments. Each option has its advantages, and only a thorough evaluation by a specialized healthcare professional can determine the best approach.

Milia grain removal: some advice before and after treatments
Before receiving one of the specific treatments for milia grains, it is essential to participate in a thorough preliminary consultation with a healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa. During this discussion, they will inquire about medical history and expectations to choose the most appropriate treatment option. This step helps eliminate any source of stress, maximize the chances of success, and ensure satisfaction. Subsequently, once the treatment is performed, it is important to carefully follow the instructions provided by the medical team.
For the Bela MD treatment, no post-treatment care is necessary, but a healthy diet and good skin hygiene are highly encouraged. After an excision, it is essential to care for the wound and monitor for signs of infection, while maintaining a balanced diet to promote healing. In case of concerns or unusual symptoms, it is crucial to contact the professional who performed the treatment. Any questions and requests for support are welcomed throughout the recovery process to ensure a positive experience on the journey to smoother and more even skin.
