What is Acne Extraction care?

Acne extraction is a treatment in which our medical team hygienically clears the sebum, dead skin, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), and acne contents that clog your pores. Forcefully squeezing at home with fingers or tools can spread inflammation and lead to scarring or pigmentation, but at Seye Clinic the procedure is carried out with sterilized instruments and an orderly protocol that helps reduce skin irritation and the risk of secondary infection.

Key options / procedure

Seye Clinic's acne extraction care comes in two options based on the number of lesions that need to be extracted. Before the procedure, our medical team checks your skin condition and guides you to the option that suits you.

  • Extraction care, fewer than 10 lesions: suited to skin with only a few scattered comedones or acne lesions.
  • Extraction care, 10–50 lesions: intended for skin with comedones and acne spread across areas such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin.
  • Our medical team distinguishes lesions that can be extracted from those that need soothing first, and proceeds without overworking the skin.

Expected benefits

  • Clears clogging sebum and comedones to refine congested-looking skin texture.
  • Hygienically removes contents that can otherwise spread inflammation, lowering the risk of secondary infection.
  • Helps reduce the chance of scarring and pigmentation that forceful self-extraction can cause.
  • Leaves the skin better prepared to receive follow-up soothing, regenerative, or acne care.

We recommend this for

  • Those who repeatedly develop comedones such as blackheads and whiteheads
  • Those who have experienced irritation or scarring from squeezing acne at home
  • Those bothered by tiny acne bumps spread widely across the forehead, cheeks, or chin
  • Those who want extractions performed as professional care in a hygienic setting

Seye Clinic Acne Extraction care

At Seye Clinic, we work from the idea of "don't squeeze at home—receive professional extraction care at Seye," tailoring the treatment to each person's skin condition and number of lesions. Our medical team selects the lesions that can be extracted and handles them with sterilized instruments, and also explains the aftercare to follow. Results and responses may vary from person to person.

FAQ

Depending on the lesion, you may feel brief pressure or a slight sting, but for most people it is manageable. The degree of discomfort may vary from person to person.

Aftercare

To reduce inflammation, please refrain from excessive drinking, smoking, saunas, and strenuous exercise for one week after the procedure.

After the treatment, discomfort such as a hot sensation, tingling, itching, redness, and swelling may occur, but it subsides within 3-10 days.

Please avoid stimulating the treated area, such as massaging it or using scrubs and peeling treatments.

To keep the skin from becoming dry, please use a moisturizer and regenerating cream frequently, and be sure to apply sunscreen when going outdoors.
