Cryopen - Milia Removal
Milia are small, raised, pearl-like bumps that appear around the eyes, cheeks, and nose.
They’re created when keratin — a natural skin protein — becomes trapped under the surface. Harmless, although most people opt for Milia Removal for more skin.
At Lipo 360, we provide non-invasive procedures that safely and effectively eliminate milia.
Milia Removal Chesterfield
Milia Chesterfield sometimes clear naturally and may disappear without treatment. But other than a temporary inside-out welt of yours, these stubborn milia can settle in for days, weeks, months, or even years. Picking or squeezing may cause irritation, infection, or scars.
Which is why the best Milia Removal is done by a professional for results that last. We personally evaluate each case at Lipo 360 and treat it with proven treatments to achieve optimal skin health and cosmetic results.
How does Lipo 360 do Milia Removal?
At our clinic, we usually use CryoPen for Milia Removal. This state-of-the-art treatment uses a small, focused spray of super cold medical nitrous oxide to freeze the lesion, killing the trapped keratin and leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
The process is accurate, quick, and non-invasive, with nothing to cut or stitch, and it’s no wonder it’s a popular choice for patients who want minimal disruption and maximum results.
There are several advantages in the use of CryoPen for removing Milia:
Most of the time, you only need one treatment of Milia Removal Chesterfield with CryoPen to remove the affected area. But for some clients with multiple milia or repeating cases, some follow-up treatments may be useful.
At your Lipo 360 consultation, we will discuss a customised treatment plan with you that’s customised to your skin.
Is Milia Removal Result Permanent?
The milia that are taken care of will not come back to the same place. But you may get new milia as well over time, if you have a keratin-plugging tendency with your skin or use heavy skin care. Explore how LIPO360 supports injury recovery.

Q: What is the structural difference between milia and other white facial lesions?
Milia are closed keratin cysts formed within the superficial epidermis and are not connected to pores or oil glands, which is why they cannot be extracted or drained naturally.
Q: Why does trapped keratin in milia fail to exfoliate on its own?
The keratin becomes encapsulated beneath intact skin, preventing normal cell shedding and allowing the cyst to persist long-term.
Q: How does CryoPen differ from traditional milia lancing techniques?
CryoPen uses controlled freezing instead of puncturing the skin, reducing trauma, bleeding, and healing time.
Q: Why are milia more common around the eyes and upper cheeks?
These areas have thinner skin, slower turnover, and are frequently exposed to occlusive products that trap keratin.
Q: Can CryoPen safely treat milia near the eyelid margin?
Yes. The device allows precise, shallow freezing suitable for delicate periocular skin when applied by trained clinicians.
Q: What determines whether milia resolve after one CryoPen session?
Cyst size, keratin density, and skin thickness influence whether one or multiple treatments are required.
Q: How does CryoPen destroy milia without breaking the skin surface?
CryoPen freezes the cyst, rupturing keratin-filled cells internally so the lesion collapses and resolves through natural skin renewal.
Q: Why is squeezing or needling milia medically discouraged?
Pressure forces keratin deeper into the skin, increasing inflammation, infection risk, and scarring—especially on delicate facial areas.
Q: Why don’t treated milia usually return in the same location?
Once the cyst wall is destroyed, keratin cannot re-encapsulate at that site.
Q: Why do some individuals develop new milia over time?
New milia are linked to skin type, keratinisation patterns, sun damage, or heavy skincare use—not treatment failure.
Q: Does CryoPen affect melanin or increase pigmentation risk?
No. CryoPen targets keratin, not pigment cells, keeping the risk of pigmentation low when properly applied.
Q: What post-treatment skin response indicates successful milia removal?
Mild redness or a tiny crust may appear briefly before smooth, intact skin returns without open wounds.
