Introduction
Milia are small white, granular substances formed by the accumulation of fat beneath the skin. Milia under the eyes can be treated with massage, medication, microneedling, laser therapy, or chemical peels to alleviate symptoms. If milia appear on the skin, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and actively pursue treatment under a doctor's guidance. During treatment, maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid excessive eye strain.
Fat granules are small, white, particle-like substances that form due to the accumulation of fat beneath the skin. Periorbital fat granules can be alleviated through methods such as massage, medication, microneedling, laser therapy, and chemical peels.
1. Massage
Gentle massage on the affected skin area can improve blood circulation and help the skin naturally expel fat granules.
2. Medication
For patients with relatively small or few fat granules, or those concerned about cosmetic appearance, topical medications such as adapalene gel, tretinoin cream, or vitamin E cream may be applied under medical supervision. These help reduce excessive skin keratinization and prevent an increase in the number of fat granules.
3. Microneedling
Performed by a professional physician, microneedling stimulates the skin to promote collagen production, thereby improving skin texture and reducing fat granules.
4. Laser Therapy
Laser treatment breaks down fat granules, promoting their decomposition and absorption, gradually relieving symptoms.
5. Chemical Peel
Under the guidance of a qualified physician, chemical peeling helps remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and improves overall skin appearance.
When fat granules appear on the skin, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and actively pursue appropriate treatment under a doctor's guidance. During treatment, maintain a light diet, get adequate rest, and avoid excessive eye strain.
