These treatments are often supervised by a dermatologist to ensure they address specific skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or hyperpigmentation safely and effectively.

Yes, through a process called clinical extractions. A trained professional uses sterile tools to manually or mechanically remove trapped sebum (oil) and dead skin cells (comedones) that cause blackheads and whiteheads. This is far safer than “picking” at home, which can lead to scarring or infection.

Most patients experience little to no downtime. You may have mild redness for a few hours, especially if your treatment included extractions or a light chemical peel.
