What is Milia and Its Causes?
Milia (singular: milium) are tiny white or yellowish cysts under the skin’s surface. They are often seen around the eyes, nose, or cheeks, but can also form on other areas such as the chest, forehead, or even the genital region. Alongside acne or spots, milia are firm, painless, and not inflamed. Many people say it feels like “grains of sand” trapped under the skin. Although harmless, milia can be persistent and take months or even years to disappear naturally.
Milia develop when keratin — a protein that protects the skin — becomes trapped beneath the surface. Common triggers include:
- Delayed or reduced cell turnover, especially in mature skin.
- Skin trauma (burns, rashes, or injury) that affects sweat glands.
- Use of heavy skincare products that clog pores.
- Sun damage thickens the outer layer of skin
- Natural causes in newborns, where sweat glands are still developing.
Milia are not contagious, not dangerous, and not hereditary — but they can affect self-confidence, mainly when they occur in clusters around the eyes or face.

Preparing for Milia Removal Keighley : Complete UK Guide
What Is Milia Removal Treatment?
Milia removal is a safe, straightforward procedure that targets and extracts the trapped keratin beneath the skin. Our trained professionals perform treatments at Pinnacle Clinic under strict hygiene and safety standards. Unlike at-home remedies or harsh creams, which can damage delicate skin, our methods are medically supervised, reassuring patients of safety and effective results. We provide:
- Milia Extraction – using a sterile needle or fine instrument to open the skin and remove the cyst gently.
- Topical Treatments – prescription creams (such as retinoids) may be recommended for widespread or recurring milia.
- Laser Therapy – in selected cases, controlled light energy resurfaces skin and encourages natural shedding.
How Does Milia Removal Work?
Step 1: Consultation
- A GMC-registered doctor or trained practitioner examines the affected area.
- Your medical history and skincare routine are reviewed.
- Options and costs are explained clearly, with time to ask questions.
Step 2: The Procedure
- The skin is cleansed and prepared.
- If extraction is chosen, a sterile needle creates a tiny opening to release the keratin.
- The process is repeated carefully for patients with multiple lesions to protect the surrounding skin.
- The procedure is quick — usually 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of milia.
Step 3: Aftercare
- A soothing ointment may be applied to reduce redness.
- Written and verbal aftercare instructions are provided.
- Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Possible Risks & Safety
As with any minor procedure, there are small risks — but these are rare and carefully managed at our clinic:
- Mild redness or swelling at the treatment site.
- Temporary tenderness.
- A small risk of scarring if aftercare is not followed.
At Pinnacle Clinic, qualified staff carry out all procedures in a CQC-registered environment. Risks are explained before treatment, and steps are taken to minimise them.
