How the procedure works
Millia removal and extraction is performed as a focused step within a full facial: your esthetician will examine the area, cleanse and prepare the skin, then perform targeted extractions using sterile technique. The work is precise and localized; because it happens during a facial, your esthetician can combine preparation and calming steps that support the extraction.
Results depend on the number, depth, and location of millia, plus your skin’s individual response. Extractions remove the visible cysts but do not guarantee they won’t recur; your esthetician will explain how facial preparation and follow-up care influence outcomes without promising specific cosmetic results.
Booking, timing, and requirements
Millia removal can only be scheduled as an add-on to a facial treatment and is not a standalone service; the add-on fee is $25 and the extra time typically adds 15 MINUTES to your facial. This makes it convenient for students and professionals in Cambridge who combine appointments with commuting through Harvard Square.
When booking, tell us about recent skin procedures, topical prescriptions, or active skin conditions so we can determine suitability. Arrive with cleansed skin if possible and be prepared for your esthetician to integrate the removal into the facial flow rather than treating it separately.
Aftercare, healing, and expectations
Expect temporary redness or mild sensitivity at treated spots after extraction; some areas may crust briefly as they heal. Avoid aggressive exfoliants and follow any soothing or protective suggestions your esthetician gives. These steps support recovery but do not guarantee healing speed or long-term outcomes.
Local weather and lifestyle can affect post-care choices in Cambridge’s four-season climate. Sunscreen and gentle skin protection are practical aftercare considerations, and scheduling removals outside of heavy outdoor exposure or major events can reduce irritation from commuting or seasonal conditions.
