Milia removal at Ella Beauty Skin Care in Newark is $150. Milia are small, firm white bumps of keratin trapped under a thin layer of skin, most often around the eyes, eyelids, cheekbones and forehead. Because they have no opening, squeezing does nothing except bruise the skin. Priscila opens each one with a sterile lancet and lifts the keratin out, and most people clear a cluster in one visit with minimal marking.

What milia actually are
Milia are small, firm white bumps that sit just under the surface of the skin. They are keratin trapped under a thin layer of skin, and unlike a whitehead they have no opening. That is why squeezing does nothing except bruise the area, and why they can sit there for months.
They show up most often around the eyes, on the eyelids, the cheekbones and the forehead. Heavy eye creams, sun damage and skin that does not shed well all make them more likely.
How removal works
- A quick look at the area to confirm they are milia and not something that needs a doctor.
- The skin is cleansed and prepped.
- Priscila opens each bump with a sterile lancet and gently lifts the keratin out.
- The area is soothed and you leave. Most people clear a cluster in a single visit.
Why the eye area needs a professional
The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face and bruises easily. A precise, sterile technique clears the bump with minimal marking. Please do not attempt this at home, especially near the eyelid.
Aftercare
- Keep the area clean and avoid touching it for 24 hours
- Skip makeup on the treated spots until the next day
- Switch to a lighter eye cream if yours is heavy
- SPF 30 daily to reduce new milia forming

Milia Removal: common questions
How much is milia removal in Newark, NJ?
Milia removal is $150 at Ella Beauty Skin Care, 520 Ferry Street in the Ironbound, Newark. That covers a typical cluster in one visit.
What are milia?
Milia are tiny cysts of keratin, the protein your skin is made of, trapped just under the surface. They look like hard white dots, often around the eyes, eyelids, nose and cheekbones. They are harmless, but they do not go away quickly on their own.
Can I remove milia at home?
Please do not, especially near the eyelid. Milia have no opening, so squeezing only bruises and marks the skin. They need a sterile opening and careful extraction.
Does milia removal hurt?
It feels like a tiny prick for each bump and is over quickly. Most people are surprised how fast it is.
Will milia come back?
The bumps that are removed are gone. New ones can form, often from heavy eye creams, sun damage or skin that does not exfoliate well. Priscila will suggest changes to your routine to reduce new ones.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. You may see faint pink points for a day or two. Makeup can usually go back on the next day.
Stop squeezing them
Milia do not come out that way, and the eye area bruises easily. One visit usually clears them. Consultations are free.
