Safe, Medical-Grade Extraction to Clear Clogged Pores and Prevent Breakouts

Acne extractions are a professional skincare procedure that removes built-up oil, blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores under sterile conditions. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, our trained dermatology staff perform extractions with precision and care—helping to reduce inflammation, prevent acne scarring, and accelerate skin recovery as part of a comprehensive acne management plan.

Understanding Acne Extractions

Manual acne extraction is the process of gently clearing out impacted pores that contain comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) or pustules. When performed improperly at home, extractions can damage the skin and lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scarring. In a clinical setting, extractions are done with sterilized instruments under dermatologist supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Acne extractions are ideal for individuals who:

• Experience persistent clogged pores, blackheads, or whiteheads
• Have inflammatory acne worsened by pore congestion
• Want to accelerate the healing process of acne lesions
• Need regular maintenance for acne-prone or oily skin

This procedure is often included in acne facials, medical cleansing programs, or pre-treatment for laser and peeling sessions.

Consultation at Yeongjong Central

Before performing extractions, our dermatologists will evaluate your skin condition and acne type to determine the safest and most effective approach:

• Assessment of acne type (comedonal, inflammatory, or mixed)
• Identification of extractable lesions and those better treated by other methods
• Review of skincare routine and breakout triggers
• Customized treatment schedule based on acne severity and skin sensitivity

Extraction Techniques Offered

1. Manual Blackhead and Whitehead Removal
   Sterile tools are used to gently press out comedones without damaging the surrounding skin or leaving marks.
2. Inflamed Lesion Drainage (When Indicated)
   Pustules or papules may be drained with a sterile needle or lancet under dermatologic supervision to reduce pressure and inflammation.
3. Sebum Plug Removal for Oily Skin
   Extraction of deep sebum plugs in oily or congested areas (commonly the nose, chin, and cheeks) helps restore normal pore function and clarity.
4. Pre-Laser or Peel Preparation
   In some patients, extractions are done before treatments like laser toning or chemical peels to enhance absorption and reduce irritation.
5. Follow-up with Calming and Antibacterial Care
   Post-extraction care includes cooling masks, soothing serums, and antibacterial treatments to prevent re-infection and support skin healing.
