A grain of milium, also known as a white pimple, is a small, hard white ball under the skin. They are often seen around the eyes, but can also appear on other areas of the face. These micro-cysts are filled with keratin, a natural protein found in our skin. Although completely harmless, these little whiteheads can detract from the skin's appearance. They don't hurt, but they can give the skin an uneven texture.

A whitehead forms when dead skin cells don't eliminate properly. They remain trapped beneath the surface, forming these small white bumps. Several factors can contribute to the appearance of milium spots:
In short, a facial milium is not just an aesthetic concern - it's also a sign that your skin needs a helping hand with a better-adapted routine.

The treatment we most recommend for removing milium granules is electrocoagulation. This gentle, non-invasive technique uses a very fine, heated needle to target and remove the cyst, without damaging the surrounding skin. The result: fast, precise and long-lasting treatment, with minimal risk of scarring.
To reinforce treatment results and prevent the appearance of new whiteheads on the skin, we recommend :
With a gentle approach, adult milium can be treated without irritation, while respecting the skin.

It is indeed possible to observe the spontaneous disappearance of a facial milium spot, particularly in people whose skin system has a very high regenerative capacity. The process can take time, from a few months to longer, depending on the individual. A milium, a small white spot formed by accumulated keratin under the skin, can remain in place if no solution is proposed. Although harmless, this spot disrupts the harmony of the face in particular. For those wishing to achieve a smoother, more even effect more quickly, it makes sense to turn to a healthcare professional specializing in milium grain treatment. At a dermatologist's office or aesthetic center, milium extraction is undertaken to remove these whiteheads from the face, limiting the risk of scarring or irritation.
Preventing milia and limiting the appearance of milia is based on the adoption of an appropriate skincare routine. In fact, it's essential to use light, non-comedogenic products to avoid the appearance of milia grains, which are favored by the accumulation of keratin under the skin, which is their main cause. Protecting your skin from UV rays with an appropriate sun cream also helps to limit the risk of whiteheads appearing on your skin. Regular gentle cleansing helps eliminate impurities and maintain a healthy skin barrier. All these simple gestures are necessary to prevent the appearance of whiteheads and keep your skin looking beautiful. For best results, consult a milium treatment specialist if necessary.
The skin around the eyes is particularly fine and sensitive, and therefore more prone to the formation of milium grains (or milium) due to its fine structure, which favors the accumulation of keratin and the formation of small white spots, difficult to remove without professional intervention. The application of overly rich creams, ill-suited to this delicate area, can also be a trigger for the formation of whiteheads on the face. Eyelid milia, in particular, must be treated with care to avoid damaging such fine skin. An appropriate milium grain treatment is therefore highly recommended to treat these imperfections, with the help of a professional who will be able to extract them, thus preserving the youthfulness of the eyes.
