Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Extraction / Milia Removal.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort; extractions involve gentle pressure and precision. We use soothing techniques and short sessions to minimize sensitivity, and redness usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

As an add-on, extractions typically take 10 to 20 minutes depending on the number and location of milia or clogged pores. Your esthetician will assess and integrate the service into your facial timing.

When performed correctly by trained professionals, extractions rarely cause scarring. You may see temporary redness or slight sensitivity. Proper technique and aftercare greatly reduce the risk of lasting skin damage.

Keep the area clean and hydrated, avoid aggressive exfoliation for 48 to 72 hours, skip heavy makeup for 24 hours, and use gentle, fragrance-free products plus daily sunscreen to support healing and prevent irritation.

Clients with inflamed or cystic acne, active infections, recent isotretinoin use, or open wounds may not be suitable. A consultation will determine safety and may recommend alternative treatments.

Extractions remove existing milia but cannot guarantee they never return. Long-term prevention involves consistent skincare, gentle exfoliation, sun protection, and periodic professional maintenance treatments tailored to your skin.
