milia removal London
Milia Removal
Milia removal at Aevia Skin is planned for 2028. The service will be designed for selected, clearly benign milia after a doctor-led assessment of the area and your skin.
Launching in 2028. These procedures are planned for the future and are not currently bookable.
What it is.
Milia are small, firm, white or yellowish keratin-filled bumps that often occur around the eyelids, cheeks, forehead or nose. They can look different across skin tones and may be mistaken for other skin conditions.
They are usually harmless. Because not every small bump is milia, a doctor-led assessment matters before an extraction is considered.
Cosmetic thresholds are different from medical need.
Milia are commonly managed conservatively because they are benign and often do not need treatment. Cosmetic removal may fall outside local NHS thresholds where there is no medical or functional reason to treat.
Aesthetic removal should be careful and specific. Trying to pick or squeeze bumps at home can cause inflammation, infection, scarring or post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Removal methods a doctor may use.
Sterile superficial extraction
For suitable milia, a doctor may discuss opening the surface very precisely and extracting the trapped keratin. The area, number of lesions and skin response inform the decision.
Staged treatment
Where there are several lesions or the area is sensitive, treatment may need to be staged rather than approached as a single broad procedure.
Alternative assessment
If the bumps are not clearly milia or there is active inflammation, the suitable next step may be a different medical assessment rather than extraction.
Consultation, histology where relevant, and aftercare.
Consultation and skin assessment
Your doctor will examine the bumps and surrounding skin, discuss your skin history and consider whether they are appropriate for a cosmetic milia pathway.
A precise approach
For suitable milia after launch, the treatment area, extraction method and risk of temporary redness, a small mark or pigment change will be discussed before treatment.
Histology where relevant
Histology is not routine for every small benign bump. If it is relevant to the clinical plan, it will be explained; uncertain or suspicious lesions are not treated cosmetically.
Aftercare
Written aftercare will cover gentle cleansing, avoiding picking, sun protection and when to seek review. Inflammation and pigmentation risk are considered carefully, especially in melanin-rich skin.

How much does milia removal cost in London?
Published London private prices for milia removal commonly range from about £100 to £300, depending on the number of lesions, the area being treated and whether a doctor-led assessment is required.
If you are comparing a private milia removal price, this is general market context, not an Aevia price. Aevia Skin will publish transparent protocol pricing at launch, with no hidden consultation-dependent quotes.
Before you decide.
What are milia?
Milia are small, firm keratin-filled bumps, commonly on the face. They are usually harmless, but a doctor should confirm the diagnosis before any cosmetic extraction.
Can I remove milia myself?
It is best not to pick or squeeze them. Home extraction can cause inflammation, infection, scarring and pigment change, particularly in more melanised skin.
Does milia removal hurt?
Sensitivity varies with the area and the number of lesions. If treatment is appropriate after launch, the likely sensation and comfort measures will be discussed beforehand.
Will milia leave marks after removal?
Temporary redness or a small mark can occur after an extraction. Individual healing and post-inflammatory pigmentation risk are part of the assessment and aftercare plan.
Can milia come back?
New milia can develop over time. Removing an existing lesion does not guarantee that new bumps will not form elsewhere.
Why will the NHS not remove milia?
Milia are often benign and do not need medical treatment, so cosmetic removal may not meet local NHS funding thresholds.
