Milia gone, without the squeezing
Milia removal in Middlesbrough at Helena Aesthetics is a gentle, non-surgical treatment using advanced electrolysis, also called diathermy. A medically trained, VTCT Level 4 practitioner and former paramedic clears the tiny white bumps precisely, with no squeezing and no cutting. Every treatment starts with a consultation.
What are milia?
Milia are the tiny, hard white bumps that appear when keratin gets trapped just under the surface of the skin. They often show up around the eyes and on the cheeks, and unlike a spot, they will not come to a head or wash away.
Because they sit in such delicate skin, milia are one of the blemishes people most often try to squeeze at home, which can irritate or mark the skin. At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough I remove them with advanced electrolysis, precisely and without squeezing.
What to expect
How long it takes
most milia treatments take between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on how many we are treating.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel only a mild warm or tingling sensation. The needle is about as thin as a hair, so it is gentle even close to the eyes.
Healing
the tiny treated points usually heal within about 10 days.
Aftercare
I give you personalised aftercare advice before you leave, and I ask you back for a check two months later.
If you are unsure whether a bump is milia or something else, we check carefully at your consultation, and I will refer you to your GP if anything needs their opinion first.

How advanced electrolysis clears milia
A fine needle, no squeezing
A very fine, sterile needle, about as thin as a hair, is gently placed on the milia. There is no squeezing and no cutting.
A little controlled heat
A small, controlled amount of heat passes through the needle into the trapped keratin.
The bump breaks down
The heat gently breaks down the trapped keratin, without harming the delicate skin around it.
It clears naturally
Over the next few days the treated point settles and clears on its own.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and the eye area is exactly where advanced electrolysis is at its best, because the needle is so fine and precise. We check it is suitable at your consultation.
Milia sit under a layer of skin, so squeezing rarely works and can bruise or mark the delicate area. Advanced electrolysis reaches them precisely without that risk.
The milia I treat are cleared. New ones can still form over time, and I am always happy to treat those too.
Very little. There is no cutting, so most people go straight back to their day. The tiny treated points heal over about 10 days.
Yes. A short consultation lets me check the bumps are milia and explain exactly what to expect.
