Its is more than a Cosmetic Treatment
As we age, our skin naturally changes, and one common concern many older adults in Edinburgh experience is milia, These tiny white cysts often appear around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead, becoming more noticeable as skin renewal slows. While milia are harmless, they can affect both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing. At EG Skin Clinic in Morningside, Edinburgh, we offer safe and professional milia removal to help restore smoother, healthier skin. So that every time you look at the mirror you are not thinking about how you skin has changed and not working how it use to but thinking how well you are aging.
Why Are Milia More Common in Older Adults?
Aging skin sheds dead skin cells more slowly, making it easier for keratin to become trapped beneath the skins surface. This can lead to the formation of milia, particularly around delicate areas such as the eyes.
Although milia are not dangerous, they do not usually disappear quickly on their own and should never be squeezed or picked at as this can cause infection, scarring or skin damage.
