Extractions
What Are Extractions?
Extractions are a professional skincare procedure used to safely remove clogged pores, including blackheads, whiteheads, and other types of non-inflamed acne lesions. This treatment is often performed during a facial or acne-focused skincare session and helps clear the skin by physically removing buildup of oil, dead skin cells, and debris. Unlike at-home squeezing or picking—which can lead to irritation, scarring, or infection—professional extractions are done using sterile techniques by trained providers, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. Extractions can improve skin clarity, reduce the risk of breakouts, and enhance the absorption of topical treatments.
Extractions physically clean out clogged or impacted pores. Professional extractions involve gently emptying and cleaning pores affected by pimples and blackheads (comedones) using the hands or a mechanical device. Properly done, extractions can clear clogged pores without spreading the bacteria to the surrounding skin and causing additional breakouts.
Our Approach and Expertise
At The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we offer gentle, medically supervised extractions as part of our comprehensive skincare services. Our licensed skincare specialists work closely with our board-certified dermatologists to ensure every extraction is performed with precision and care, especially for patients dealing with acne-prone or sensitive skin.
We tailor each treatment to your skin’s current condition—whether you’re managing congestion, comedonal acne, or simply need a deeper cleanse. They are often combined with medical-grade facials, chemical peels, or light therapies to maximize results and promote long-term skin clarity. For patients with more advanced or inflamed acne, we coordinate with our dermatology team to incorporate clinical treatments and prescription therapies as needed.
With a focus on both results and skin health, we make sure your extractions are part of a safe, effective, and customized skincare plan designed to leave your skin clearer, smoother, and healthier over time.
