What are ways to prevent popped milia from scarring?

Milia seeds are harmless, tiny pearly-white bumps made up of skin protein. Topical treatment include retinoids, such as Differin creams. Chemical peels or ablative laser eg. CO2 laser and dermabrasion are effective for stubborn and extensive milia. The cost of these treatments ($200 – $400) varies amongst clinics, and how extensive the milia seeds are.

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!
