How it works
Congested pores are a cosmetic concern: blackheads and clogged pores that do not hurt. Painful, inflamed breakouts are a medical condition, and we will point you to a dermatologist rather than treat them here.
Who does it
A licensed aesthetician. Active acne or a diagnosed skin condition is a matter for a dermatologist or your primary care doctor, and we will say so.
Time and sessions
Each session: About 50 minutes.
Once, or every four to six weeks.
Downtime
A few red marks where extractions were done, gone within a day.
Common side effects
- Redness at extraction sites for a few hours
- Rare: a breakout in the days after
Who should wait or skip it
- You have painful, inflamed breakouts: see a dermatologist first
- You use isotretinoin
Alternatives
- A light chemical peel
- A salicylic acid cleanser at home
One price, about 50 minutes.
