The method used for professional milia removal extraction in Toronto Ontario at Beauty Tree is called "de-roofing". This procedure involves the use of a sterile, disposable lancet/needle - required to pierce the skin, allowing an "escape route" for the milia to exit the skin. You may feel a small “pinch” with professional milia removal, but each extraction is completed relatively quickly and is, in most cases, virtually painless. There is generally a small red spot left behind after removal that will develop into a "micro-scab", and can take a day or two, to a week or so to resolve.

TOP 3 Milia Removal GOOGLE REVIEWS for Beauty Tree

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Google Review (Pain & Skill)
“Before seeing Terese, I had a very disappointing experience with a dermatologist who recommended electrocautery for milia removal. Not only was the procedure painful, but the dermatologist wasn’t able to successfully remove the milia despite the discomfort. Because of this previous experience, I was extremely nervous about getting my milia removed. The extraction itself was done carefully, hygienically, and professionally. What surprised me most was how painless it was. Terese was able to remove the milia efficiently and safely with a sterile needle without causing any pain.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review (Expertise & One Visit Result)
“Terese is the absolute best person you can go to for eye milia removal. I walked in today for some inquiry but ended up removing the milias on the spot. Terese is very sweet and kind and she removed the milia around my eye with care and precision. The process was so quick and easy, and I felt super comfortable with her. She’s the one to go to if you have any sort of milia or acne anywhere on your body. Go to her!”

"I have been here before for a facial and the results were amazing. Went back for a milia on my eyelid in Toronto, and it was taken out perfectly. I was quoted literally 5 times the price from a dermatologist!”

What are milia?

Milia (milium cyst) or pearl acne, "white bumps" are a collection of skin cells that are keratinizing (becoming hard). These cells are "sticky" in nature, and as a result, collect more and more cells in the same state, until a small white/off white/yellow-ish cyst is created under the skin. Because there is no pore, it is very difficult to squeeze these annoying bumps away without permanently damaging or scarring the skin. This happens to both men and women of all ages, They most commonly occur on the face, eyelids/eye area, but also can be found anywhere on the body.

Is milia removal painful?

Milia removal is virtually painless. You will feel a small prick from a sterile lancet (needle), and a pinch to follow. Most client rate discomfort at a 1-2/10

Is there milia removal downtime?

No, there is no downtime. Normal daily function is perfectly fine day of treatment. There is usually no sign of treatment having been done outside of small red spots in the treated area.

Can milia come back?

They do not 'come back'. If you are prone to developing milia, they may appear again, in the same spots or in new spots.

What is a glass ball milia? Why do they cost more?

A glass ball milia is a larger, deeper type of milia that has a smooth, translucent capsule and often comes out as a tiny pearl-like sphere when extracted. Unlike typical milia, which can be soft and chalky, glass ball milia have a firmer cyst wall and stronger attachment to the skin, making them more challenging to remove. They often require more time, precision, and specialized technique to extract the entire capsule intact, which is why they may cost more than standard milia removal. There is less than a 2% (rare chance) you have glass ball milia.

Is milia removal safe near the eyes?

Yes, with a certified, experienced medical practitioner.

Is the needle you use big and will it hurt?

The sterile lancet/needle is very small. You will feel a tiny "pick" to make an "escape route" for the extraction to be done. Most clients report little to no pain, just mild to moderate discomfort.

Orbital Eye Area (definition)

The orbital eye area is shown below.
When considering the area to be treated, understand that where there is no bone underneath the skin to be treated, it becomes more difficult to remove any lesions in that area.
