Acne Extraction
Safe acne extraction performed to medical standards — proper technique and sterilized tools help clear breakouts without scarring or deeper skin damage.
How it works
Why Is Acne Extraction Necessary?
Acne extraction is a mechanical method that uses external pressure — either manually or with specialized tools such as needles or cotton swabs — to remove comedones, excess sebum, and pus (in cases of inflammatory acne) from the skin’s surface. Without proper extraction, mature acne lesions remain trapped beneath the skin, leading to clogged and enlarged pores. This can cause deeper skin damage, increase the risk of scarring, and promote the spread of inflammation, resulting in more severe acne outbreaks. Therefore, acne extraction is an essential step in any comprehensive acne treatment plan. When performed following medical standards, it ensures complete removal of comedones while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or infection.
Why You Shouldn’t Extract Acne at Home?
When acne is extracted at home without proper technique, it’s difficult to control the pressure applied — leading to skin damage and allowing bacteria to penetrate more easily, which can prolong healing time. Most people also skip the sterilization step when using tools or bare hands, significantly increasing the risk of infection and inflammation. In addition, incomplete extraction often leaves acne cores behind, causing recurrence and increasing the likelihood of pitted scarring.

High-Tech Skin Analysis with Advanced Imaging System
Before starting any skincare treatment, the dermatologist will perform a comprehensive examination and high-tech skin analysis to accurately assess your skin’s current condition.
Makeup Removal and Deep Cleansing
This essential step removes impurities, makeup, and excess sebum accumulated on the skin throughout the day. The skincare specialist will use a professional makeup remover to gently yet effectively cleanse the skin, followed by a facial cleanser to ensure it is completely clean. A clean, refreshed complexion provides the perfect foundation for the next steps in your skincare treatment.
Warm Steam Therapy
This step helps soften the skin and open up pores, making the acne extraction process easier, less painful, and more effective. It also helps minimize skin trauma, ensuring greater comfort and safety during the procedure.
Acne Extraction
The skincare specialist may use sterilized extraction tools such as cotton swabs, comedone extractors, or fine needles to safely remove acne cores. The treatment area is disinfected both before and after extraction to prevent bacterial infection and ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety throughout the procedure.
Apply Treatment Serum and Sunscreen After Acne Extraction
Finally, the skin will be nourished with treatment serums and active ingredients tailored to its current condition. The specialist will apply products containing vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or other restorative compounds to brighten and hydrate the skin. Additionally, sunscreen application is an essential final step, providing protection against UV damage and helping to prevent premature aging after the skincare treatment.
Post-Treatment Guidance and At-Home Skincare Instructions
After the treatment, the dermatologist will provide detailed instructions for proper at-home skincare to support the healing process and maintain results. Additionally, the skincare specialist will create an online care group to connect clients directly with the doctor, allowing for regular follow-up and monitoring of the skin’s condition remotely, ensuring optimal recovery and ongoing support.
Make results last
Choose a Diet that Supports Acne Treatment
Recommended Foods After Medical-Grade Acne Treatment
Along with professional acne treatment, it’s important to include nutrient-rich foods in your diet to support skin healing. Incorporate foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon), vitamins A, C, and E (found in leafy greens and fruits), and healthy seeds (like chia and flaxseed). These nutrients help strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the recovery process.
Healthy skin starts from within. Staying well-hydrated not only keeps your skin plump and smooth but also strengthens your body’s natural defenses. When combined with a balanced diet and medical-grade acne treatment, this routine will help you achieve clear, healthy skin faster.
Foods to Avoid After Medical-Grade Acne Treatment
A healthy diet enhances the effectiveness of acne treatment. Avoid high-sugar foods, fried dishes, dairy products, and processed foods, as they can stimulate sebum production, clog pores, and worsen acne.
Diet plays a crucial role in maintaining clear skin. Try to limit fast food, carbonated drinks, and greasy meals, and instead, increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, and water for long-lasting, healthy results.
Important Notes
1. Gentle Cleansing
After a medical-grade acne treatment, your skin needs special care. In the first few days, cleanse your face gently to avoid irritating the treated areas.
Proper cleansing is essential for achieving the best results. Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser and lukewarm water. Instead of rubbing, gently pat the skin dry to reduce inflammation and promote healing. A gentle cleansing routine supports faster recovery and enhances treatment results.
2. Avoid Strong Exfoliation in the First Few Days
Right after acne treatment, your new skin layer is still fragile. Using harsh exfoliants can cause irritation or infection. Avoid exfoliating products for several days post-treatment.
If needed, choose gentle, natural exfoliants that clean without harming the skin. Wait at least one week after treatment before resuming your regular exfoliation routine.
3. Avoid Makeup in the First Few Days
After professional acne treatment, your skin needs time to recover. Applying makeup can clog pores and increase the risk of infection. It’s best to avoid makeup for at least one week.
If makeup is necessary, use oil-free, non-comedogenic products, and ensure thorough cleansing at the end of the day.
4. Avoid Touching Your Face
Touching your face can transfer bacteria and dirt, leading to inflammation and infection — especially after acne treatment. Keep your hands clean and avoid contact with your face.
Also, make sure items that come into contact with your skin, such as towels and pillowcases, are clean to minimize bacterial exposure and maintain treatment results.
5. Use Clay Masks or Hydrating Sheet Masks
To speed up skin recovery, combine clay masks (to absorb excess oil and purify pores) with hydrating sheet masks (to soothe and replenish moisture). This duo helps maintain a balanced, healthy glow after treatment.
Depending on your skin condition, your skincare specialist will recommend a suitable frequency — typically 1–2 times per week for optimal results.
6. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
For the best results, maintain a balanced daily routine. Getting enough restful sleep helps your skin regenerate, while a healthy diet and positive lifestyle contribute to long-term improvement.
7. Wash Towels, Pillowcases, and Bedding Weekly
Acne treatment effectiveness extends beyond skincare products — personal hygiene plays a vital role. Wash towels, pillowcases, and bedding regularly to eliminate acne-causing bacteria and dust.
Use warm water to disinfect and replace facial towels frequently to protect sensitive skin and enhance the healing process.
