I am 61 years old, female, and am considering laser resurfacing for my mouth and chin. Would my existing milia create a problem? Thanks.
Answer: LaseMD treatments can help reduce appearance and clear up the skin Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Would Milia Create Problem for Laser Resurfacing? Fraxel and Chemical Peels Can Help Milia You should be able to have your skin resurfaced with Fraxel or another laser even though you have milia. The milia can be improved with chemical peels and/or microneedling. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who will devise a treatment plan for you that will rejuvenate your skin plus take care of the milia.

Answer: Laser resurfacing with Milia--Fraxel, Clear + Brilliant, microneedling/prp Milia can be treated with needle removal but you can do clear + brilliant or fraxel lasers combined with microneedling/prp and get cosmetic improvements while also improving the milia. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Laser resurfacing and milia As noted below, your milia are not going to interfere in any way with the laser resurfacing procedure or results. However, I would recommend getting them extracted before the procedure, because they can become worse during the recovery process after the resurfacing. You should also ask your provider about products to use after the recovery that will help to decrease the formation of milia.

Answer: Milia on chin and laser resurfacing Laser resurfacing with or without platelet-rich plasma (PRP) would be a good option for you. More than one treatment may be necessary. Results are noticed after several weeks.
