If you’re experiencing milia, especially around the eye region, your skincare routine might be a contributing factor. The delicate skin surrounding the eyes is thinner compared to the rest of the face, meaning dense or heavy eye creams could potentially clog pores and retain dead skin cells. Therefore, it’s advisable to opt for a high-quality, lightweight eye cream. Additionally, sun damage or allergic reactions to harsh facial products could also be culprits.

The most reliable approach to safely and efficiently remove milia. Our milia removal procedures are conducted in meticulously hygienic, clinical settings in a well-equipped and CDP accredited clinic in Bournemouth by highly experienced aesthetic clinicians. We, at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth, Dorset adhere strictly to the UK aesthetic standards, ensuring that the procedures are conducted with the utmost safety and precision, providing you with peace of mind.

Five primary types include:

Neonatal Milia: Often termed ‘milk spots,’ these occur in newborns, likely due to underdeveloped sweat glands.
Primary milia: Common in both children and adults, they may fade naturally but often persist longer in adults, sometimes becoming permanent.
Secondary Milia: Resulting from skin injury or certain creams, these stem from sweat gland damage in the affected area.
Milia En Plaque: A less common form found on raised, inflamed skin patches known as ‘plaques.’
Multiple eruptive milia: Rare clusters that emerge gradually over weeks or months, typically appearing on the face, upper arms, and upper torso.
