Blackheads, also known as open comedones, form when dead skin cells, sebum, and bacteria become trapped in a hair follicle. This is due to a clogged pore that doesn’t let the skin cell and oil debris escape. As a result, a blackhead forms. They can appear on the nose, chin, forehead, chest, and other areas of the body. To prevent blackheads from forming, it’s important to regularly wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and oils. Exfoliating two to three times per week can also help to keep pores unclogged and avoid the buildup of dead skin cells. However, if blackheads do form, there are ways to treat them. One method is popping or squeezing the blackheads. Dr. Fua can incorporate all of these treatment options into your acne treatment plan, depending on what works for your skin.
💎 Deep Pore Cleansing for Clearer Skin
Blackhead extraction is a deep-cleansing skincare treatment designed to remove clogged pores, excess oil, and impurities from the skin. Over time, dirt, sebum, and dead skin cells can accumulate inside pores, leading to visible blackheads and a rough skin texture. A professional cleansing session helps clear these blockages while promoting a smoother and healthier-looking complexion. The process typically includes skin cleansing, gentle exfoliation, steam preparation, blackhead removal, and soothing aftercare products to calm the skin. Regular treatments can help reduce congestion, improve skin clarity, and support better absorption of skincare products. With proper care, your skin can feel fresher, cleaner, and more refreshed after each session.
