Extraction Treatment for Clearer, Healthier Skin

An extraction treatment is a specialized procedure designed to manually unclog pores by removing deep-seated debris, such as excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. This process effectively targets blackheads, whiteheads, and other forms of congestion that contribute to acne and dull skin.

How Extractions Work

Extractions can be performed using two primary methods:

• Manual Pressure: A skilled professional applies controlled pressure to safely clear out clogged pores without causing unnecessary damage to the surrounding skin.
• Tiny Incisions: In some cases, particularly for stubborn congestion or hard bumps like milia, a sterile tool may be used to create a small incision, allowing for precise and safe extraction.

Who Can Perform Extractions?

While manual extractions are often performed by licensed estheticians, extractions involving incisions should only be carried out in a medical office by trained professionals. This ensures safety, reduces the risk of scarring or infection, and promotes optimal skin healing.

What We Treat

Our extraction treatments focus on:

• Clogged pores (blackheads and whiteheads)
• Milia (small, hard cysts beneath the skin)
• Congested skin that leads to breakouts

How Often Should You Get Extractions?

For best results, extractions are typically performed monthly, helping to maintain clear pores and prevent buildup over time. This treatment is suitable for both young teens and adults, offering an effective solution for those struggling with acne, skin congestion, or an uneven skin texture.

Pairing Extractions with Other Treatments

To enhance results, we may recommend combining extractions with chemical peels or prescription medications. When used together, these treatments:

• Improve penetration and effectiveness of topical medications
• Promote faster skin healing and renewal
• Help maintain long-term skin clarity and smoothness

Achieving a Healthier, More Youthful Glow

Regular extraction treatments, combined with professional skin care and a good home regimen, can significantly improve skin tone and texture. By removing dull, damaged surface layers and preventing clogged pores, your skin will appear brighter, smoother, and more youthful over time.
