The Safe and Effective Way to remove Tiny White Bumps
Milia are small pearl-like white bumps which can occur on the face — predominantly around the eyes, cheeks, nose and forehead. They happen when dead skin cells under the skin become trapped and form small cysts. Although milia are not dangerous, some people opt to have them removed for cosmetic purposes or to help clear the skin.
At Cryosonic we specialize in the pin-point exact removal of milia non-invasively with our state-of-the-art cryotherapy.
Milia are tiny keratin-filled cysts that sit just beneath the skin’s surface. They can occur in anyone from newborns to adults, and are not the result of dirt or poor hygiene. Possible triggers include sun damage, skin injury and some skincare products which could block pores.
While milia doesn’t carry the risk of being harmful, it can be annoying if they’re persistent or in visible areas, such as on the face.
How Treatment Works
Our patented cryo solution is activated and dispensed to freeze the milia immediately with our clinically proven process. It does so by non-invasively perturbing the cyst with cold energy, leading the skin to slough off the compressed cells.
Sessions that could take a few minutes to finish
Discomfort level: Low (clients typically feel a cool, tingling sensation)
There is little or no downtime and you can resume regular activities.
The milia area may crust over shortly after treatment and will fall of naturally, leaving silky-smooth skin in its place.
Before & After Care

Avoid excessive sun exposure
After treatment:
Your clinician will go through personalised aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
Are milia harmful?
No — milia are completely harmless. However, if you notice changes in size or colour, or experience irritation, it’s wise to have them checked by a professional.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most people feel mild sensations — such as a cool or tingling feeling — during the procedure, but significant pain is uncommon.
How long does healing take?
Recovery is usually rapid as healing occurs quickly and most treated areas will be completely healed within 1–2 weeks as new skin forms.
Can milia return after removal?
Recovered milia are permanently removed from that area, but can be re-formed elsewhere over time, especially with sun exposure and some skincare considerations
If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of milia and enjoy clearer, smoother skin, our expert team at Cryosonic can help. We’ll assess your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
