What Are Milia Seeds—And How Can You Remove Them Safely in Singapore?

May 18

If you’ve noticed small, hard white bumps around your eyes or cheeks that won’t go away, you may be dealing with milia seeds. These tiny, keratin-filled cysts are harmless—but stubborn. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we offer safe, professional milia seed removal in Singapore to restore smoother, clearer skin without damage or downtime.

💡 What Are Milia Seeds?

Milia seeds (or milium cysts) are tiny white or yellowish bumps that form just under the surface of the skin. They’re not pimples—they aren’t caused by oil or bacteria—but rather, trapped keratin and dead skin cells.

You’ll usually find them:

Around the eye area
On the cheeks, temples, or forehead
Sometimes near the nose or lips

They don’t hurt or itch—but they also don’t go away on their own.

🧼 What Causes Them?

Milia can form when dead skin fails to exfoliate properly. Common triggers include:

Use of heavy, occlusive skincare products
Sun damage and long-term exposure
Aging skin and slower natural turnover
Poor post-treatment care after facials or skin procedures

To avoid recurrence, we often recommend adding professional skin management and anti-aging treatments into your monthly routine. These help to keep the skin smooth, well-exfoliated, and less prone to keratin build-up.

⚠️ Why DIY Extraction Can Make Things Worse

Trying to squeeze or lance milia at home often leads to:

Skin damage or bruising
Hyperpigmentation or scarring
Pushing the cyst deeper into the dermis

That’s why we always recommend a licensed specialist perform the removal—gently and hygienically.
