How Much Does Milia Treatment Cost?

Cost of milia treatment
The cost varies on the type of treatment, and its effectiveness. Topical retinoids (retin A (R), tazarotine, adapalene) are effective prescriptions for longterm, gradual elimination of milia and cost around $150 for a 6 month supply. Microdermabrasion is also effective in several treatments over a one or two month time period and the price depends upon whether it is administered in a Spa or a medical facility, but runs around a $100/session.
