Milia removal in Busan Seomyeon

What are milia, and how are they removed without a mark in Busan?

Milia are tiny, hard, white cysts of keratin trapped just under the surface, one to two millimetres across, most often under the eyes, on the cheeks and eyelids, and after sun damage, burns or heavy creams. They are not whiteheads: a whitehead is a blocked pore that opens; a milium has no opening, which is why squeezing bruises the skin and leaves the cyst exactly where it was. Removal is simple in the right hands: the surface over the cyst is opened with a sterile needle or a single pulse of the precision laser, the keratin pearl is lifted out whole, and the pinpoint heals in two or three days with no scar.

At Boom Dermatology milia are removed per lesion, ₩5,500 each, in a visit of minutes, including the ones on the eyelid margin that patients are rightly nervous about; the doctor chooses needle or laser by position and size, with the laser preferred for clusters and the needle for single lesions near the lash line. Because milia come back when the cause continues, the visit ends with the cause: heavy eye creams and occlusive products are the usual one, sun damage the other, and a lighter routine or a gentle retinoid from the doctor keeps new ones from forming. Syringomas, the skin-coloured bumps under the eyes that are glands rather than cysts, are a different lesion and page.

Downtime after milia removal, and flying home

A pinpoint mark on each spot for two to three days, occasionally a tiny bruise under the eye. No make-up on the spots for a day. Fly the same evening. No scar.

Why can't I squeeze them out like a whitehead?

Because a milium has no opening. A whitehead is a blocked pore with a channel to the surface; a milium is a sealed keratin cyst under intact skin, so pressure bruises the tissue around it and the cyst stays. Opening the surface at one point and lifting the pearl is a thirty-second job at Boom Dermatology and leaves nothing behind.

Is removal safe that close to my eyes?

Yes, in a doctor's hands with the right tool: a fine needle for lesions on the lid or lash line, with the eye protected and no laser used there; the laser for clusters on the cheek and under-eye skin with shields in place. It is the commonest site for milia and the commonest removal we do.

Laser or needle: which is used, and when?

The needle for single lesions and anything on the lid margin; the laser for clusters, where one pulse per lesion is faster and cleaner. Neither leaves a scar; the doctor at our Seomyeon skin clinic chooses per lesion and the price is the same.

Will there be marks afterwards, and for how long?

A pinpoint for two to three days, occasionally a small bruise under the eye that make-up covers from the next day. Nothing by the end of the week.

Why do I keep getting them, and can anything prevent new ones?

Usually heavy, occlusive eye creams and oils, which trap keratin; sometimes sun damage, which thickens the surface. A lighter routine, a gentle retinoid from the doctor and sunscreen keep new ones rare. Patients at Boom Dermatology in Busan who change the cream stop coming back for milia; patients who keep it return every few months.
