Laser Milia Treatment

Fast, precise clearing of white spots around the eyes with laser and radiofrequency.

Bothered by White Spots Around Your Eyes? A Safe, Scar-Free Solution with Laser/Radiofrequency Technology!

When you look in the mirror, do you notice small white-yellow spots, particularly around your eyes, on your eyelids or over your cheekbones, that don’t look like pimples but simply won’t go away?

The medical name for these is Milia. Milia are firm, harmless bumps formed by dead skin (keratin) and oil trapped beneath the skin, and they rarely disappear on their own.

  • They are harmless to health and do not turn into cancer.
  • However, they are an aesthetic concern and cannot be hidden even with make-up.
  • Laser milia treatment is the most controlled way to safely clear these spots without leaving a scar, even in the most delicate areas such as around the eyes.

What Is Laser/Radiofrequency Milia Treatment and What Does It Do?

Laser milia treatment around the eyes is a procedure in which specialised high-precision laser/radiofrequency technology is used to open the microscopic epidermal layer over the milium in a controlled way and remove the trapped oil/keratin deposit inside by vaporising it.

With This Medical Procedure:

  • The firm white spots (tiny oil cysts) around the eyes and on the face are completely cleared.
  • The skin surface gains an even, smooth and fresh appearance.
  • The risk of pigmentation and pitted scars that can occur with manual squeezing or needle extraction is eliminated.

Why Do Milia Develop and Who Is the Treatment Suitable For?

Many of our patients say the same thing: "I take good care of my skin and wash it every day, but they still appear."

Milia are not always related to poor skincare. The most common causes are:

  • Genetic skin type and sensitivity of the sebaceous (oil) glands,
  • Using heavy, oily creams and concealers that are unsuitable for the eye area,
  • The wrong cosmetic products and overly aggressive peels that irritate the skin,
  • Sun exposure and slowed skin renewal.

Who Is It Suitable For?

It is suitable for all adults who have milia around the eyes, on the eyelids, temples or cheeks, who want smooth-looking skin and who prefer a safe solution rather than attempting treatment at home.

How Is the Procedure Performed? What Is the Process?

At our clinic, laser/radiofrequency milia treatment is performed with millimetre precision, with patient comfort as a priority:

  1. Numbing with Local Anaesthesia: Before the procedure, a strong anaesthetic cream is applied around the eyes and to the area being treated. The skin is completely numbed.
  2. Controlled Laser Ablation: Millimetre-precise laser/radiofrequency energy is applied to each milium in the numbed area, vaporising its contents. The surrounding tissue is never harmed.
  3. Short Procedure Time (5–15 Minutes): Clearing all the milia is usually completed in 5 to 15 minutes. The procedure is painless and extremely comfortable. You can return to your daily life the same day.

What Do We Do? Why Choose Us? (The Dr. Ahmet Demir Clinic Approach)

Success in milia treatment is achieved through Accurate Diagnosis + the Right Technology + Treatment by an Experienced Physician.

  • Raising Awareness of the Dangers of Squeezing at Home: Milia are not pimples! Trying to squeeze them at home with your nails or a needle leads to serious infections, permanent marks/scars and damage to the delicate eye tissue.
  • Comprehensive Dermatological Examination: At our clinic, not every white spot is assumed to be milia. They are carefully distinguished from xanthelasma and other skin lesions to create the correct treatment map.
  • Precise Layer Control: The eyelids and the area around the eyes have the thinnest skin. Laser parameters are adjusted with millimetre precision according to the depth of the tissue.

Benefits of the Procedure and Why It Must Be Performed by a Physician

  • No Permanent Scarring: When performed by an experienced physician, no scars or marks are left on the skin.
  • Protects the Surrounding Tissue: It targets only the problem spot and leaves healthy skin untouched.
  • Must Be Performed by a Physician: The anatomy around the eyes is extremely delicate. Incorrect device use or uncontrolled depth carries a risk of permanent scarring; the procedure must always be performed by a physician with thorough anatomical knowledge.

Let’s Create Your Personalised Plan Together

Safely getting rid of the white spots around your eyes without scarring and achieving smooth skin is very easy!

No two cases of milia are the same; planning is tailored to each person according to the number, depth and location.

Frequently asked questions

Is Laser/Radiofrequency Milia Treatment Painful?

No. Thanks to the strong local anaesthetic creams applied before the procedure, the area is numbed. During the procedure, our patients feel only a light touch or warmth.

Will Milia Removal Leave a Scar?

When performed at the correct energy level and under a physician’s control, no permanent scar remains. The tiny scabs that form after the procedure fall off on their own within 7–10 days, revealing fresh, pink skin underneath.

Can Milia Removed with Laser/Radiofrequency Come Back?

Milia removed with laser do not re-form at the same spot. However, if your skin is prone to milia or you continue using unsuitable creams, new milia may appear at different spots over time.

What Should Recovery and Aftercare Be Like After the Procedure?
  • First 24 Hours: The area should not get wet, no make-up should be applied and the skin should not be rubbed.
  • Days 2–3: Gentle cleansing can be done. The tiny scabs that form must never be picked off with your nails.
  • Days 7–10: The scabs fall off on their own. Using sunscreen during this period is essential.
When Can I Wear Make-Up After Laser/Radiofrequency Milia Removal?

To protect the microscopic scabs that form, make-up is usually allowed after 3–5 days.

What Determines the Price of Milia Treatment?

Milia treatment prices are determined individually according to the number of milia, their location (eyelid, cheekbone, etc.) and the extent of the procedure.
