How can I remove syringoma/milia under my eyes?

I fully agree with Dr Chua that the lesions you have posted are consistent with milia.

Some suggestions

1. Avoid excessive eye creams in the area, as some patients tend to find some aggravation with creams/gels in the under-eye area
2. Treat the lesions with ablative laser, but do note there’s a risk of recurrence.
3. I tend to advise a light dose of retinoid (differin or Retin-A) over the affected areas after laser removal to reduce the risk of recurrence

Milia can be annoying but definitely treat-able. Consult your doctor soon!

You appear to be suffering from milia. Exfoliating scrubs help to prevent them from happening, but do little to treat the existing lesions.

CO2 lasers or electrocautery can remove the existing lesions effectively. These are usually done in a single session and my centre charges 200 SGD onwards depending on area affected and number of actual lesions.

On top of that, I use medical peels, gentle lasers and also personalised skincare as part of my practice to prevent such lesions from reappearing or multiplying.

This two-pronged combination approach gives my patients optimal results for cure and prevention.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing your photos with us. This is probably milia and they can be removed easily with a Smartxide CO2 laser. However, it can recur as some of the doctors here have mentioned.

A good skin care regime, scrub or peel can help prevent the recurrence. The CO2 laser burns off these milia with minimal scarring and the downtime is usually about 2-3 days depending on each individual.

I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the best!
