Safely remove tiny white bumps for smooth, clear skin
Milia are small, hard, white bumps that sit just beneath the surface of the skin. They’re harmless — but they can be frustrating, stubborn, and almost impossible to remove at home safely.
At Prestige Medispa in Calgary, we specialize in professional, gentle extraction of milia through our Deep Pore Detox Facial, designed to clear buildup, soften congestion, and restore smooth, refined skin.
Every treatment is customized based on your skin’s sensitivity, the number of milia present, and your long-term skin goals.
Milia (often called “milk spots”) are small cysts filled with trapped keratin — a natural protein in the skin. They commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead.
