How To Get Rid Of Milia

Deroofing

Deroofing is a procedure in which a sterile needle is used to remove the contents of the milia cysts. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic, and it can be completed in a doctor's office. Normally, electrosurgical tools are used for deroofing, and only the roof of the cyst is removed. The physician may explore the rest of the lesion during the procedure. Patients who have deroofing may experience minor bleeding after the operation. Since milia cysts may sometimes recur, patients who are considering deroofing should ask their physician about the likelihood of needing additional deroofing procedures. For the best results, this operation should be performed by a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. Patients should let their surgeon know about any allergies before the procedure, and they should ask about potential risks and recovery time prior to the deroofing.
