Extractions are a skincare treatment designed to clear clogged pores, remove blackheads and whiteheads, and improve skin health. This skincare treatment helps those struggling with congestion and breakouts, offering a deep clean that promotes clear and healthy skin. Our aesthetician performs extractions as a single treatment or in combination with facials and other skincare services for maximum results.
What are Extractions?
Skincare extractions involve treating clogged pores, including blackheads, whiteheads, and other impurities on the skin that can lead to breakouts. This treatment helps prevent acne concerns, reduces pore size, and promotes clear skin. Regular extractions can help minimize the appearance of pores, enhance product absorption, and improve overall skin clarity. This treatment improves skin texture for a refreshed appearance. Extractions are ideal for individuals seeking an effective way to maintain clear skin.
How are Skincare Extractions Performed?
During facial extractions, our aesthetician uses specialized tools to carefully extract dirt and debris from the pores without causing damage or irritation to the pores. The process begins with cleansing and steaming the skin to open the pores, making extractions more comfortable. Gentle pressure or sterile tools such as a comedone extractor are used for blackhead and whitehead removal. Extractions can be performed alone or with other treatments, including chemical peels or a customized facial treatment to enhance the skin’s overall health and appearance. After the procedure, products are applied to calm the skin and reduce redness.
Who is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for extractions are individuals with blackheads, whiteheads, and mild acne who want professional care. Acne treatments are ideal for those with congested skin, dead skin cells, excessive oil buildup, or uneven texture. While extractions can be highly effective for most skin types, they may not be suitable for individuals with severe acne, cystic acne, skin damage, rosacea, or highly sensitive skin. During your consultation, our skincare experts will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
What is Recovery Like?
Acne extractions require minimal to no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment. Some individuals may experience slight redness or sensitivity in their treatment areas, but these effects typically subside within a few hours. Proper aftercare, including gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection, help to maintain the results. Regular extractions may be recommended as part of a customized skincare regimen to keep the skin clear and healthy. With professional extractions, you can improve your skin health while preventing future breakouts.
