Gently Clear Stubborn Milia and Reveal Smooth, Refined Skin
Those tiny white bumps that won't budge no matter how much you cleanse or exfoliate? They're called milia, and they can be incredibly persistent. At Kim Gallo Esthetics, I offer a gentle, non-invasive way to clear them safely, no squeezing, no harsh scrubbing, no risk of scarring.
Understanding Those Tiny White Bumps
What Exactly Are Milia?
Milia are small, hard, white or yellowish bumps that form when keratin, a natural protein in your skin, becomes trapped just beneath the surface. Unlike whiteheads, they have no opening, which is exactly why they refuse to "pop" and feel firm to the touch.
You'll often spot milia around the:
- Eyes and under-eye area
- Cheeks
- Nose
- Forehead
- Eyelids
While milia pose no health risk, many people seek removal because they affect skin texture, resist at-home products, and tend to linger for months or even years.
Safe, Expert Milia Treatment
Why At-Home Removal Doesn't Work
Picking, squeezing, or attempting to extract milia yourself is a recipe for irritation, broken skin, and potential scarring, particularly around the fragile eye area where milia love to settle. Drugstore exfoliants rarely reach deep enough to make a difference.
Because milia sit beneath an unbroken layer of skin, they need a precise, professional touch to clear properly. That's where the Skin Classic Treatment comes in.

How the Skin Classic Clears Milia for Good
The Skin Classic uses high-frequency technology to gently treat milia with remarkable precision. Because these bumps are small and sit close to the surface, they respond beautifully to this targeted, controlled approach—even in sensitive spots near the eyes.
A fine probe lightly touches the bump, allowing the trapped keratin to release without aggressive squeezing or cutting. The result is smoother, clearer skin with minimal disruption, and many milia are addressed in a single visit. It's a refined, expert method that protects your delicate skin while delivering the results stubborn bumps demand.

Milia Removal FAQs
-
Some milia do eventually clear on their own, but many linger for months or even years because the trapped keratin has no way to escape.
Since they sit under an unbroken layer of skin, products applied on top rarely reach them. A quick professional treatment is often the most reliable way to clear stubborn milia.
-
It's best not to. Milia have no opening like a typical blemish, so squeezing usually leads to redness, broken skin, and possible scarring, especially in the thin skin around the eyes. A professional extraction with the Skin Classic is far safer and more effective.
-
Yes. The fine probe allows for excellent precision, which makes it well suited for the delicate under-eye and eyelid areas where milia frequently appear. I take extra care in these sensitive zones to keep you comfortable and protected throughout.
-
Most clients feel only a quick, light sensation as each bump is treated. The process is fast, with each milium taking just seconds, so any discomfort is brief and very manageable.
-
Downtime is minimal. A tiny crust may form over each treated spot and naturally falls away within several days. Avoid picking at the area and protect your skin from sun exposure to support smooth, even healing.
-
Once a milium is properly cleared, that specific bump won't return. New milia can still develop over time, often linked to skin care habits, sun damage, or rich products around the eyes. During your visit, I can share simple tips to help reduce the chances of new ones forming.
