Clearer-Looking Pores

Professional extraction helps remove stubborn blackheads, milia, excess oil, and buildup that can make pores appear congested. Carefully performed extractions leave your skin looking cleaner, smoother, and more refined without unnecessary picking or squeezing.

Our Milia & Blackhead Extraction Treatments

  • Milia Extraction: Milia are small, firm white or skin-colored bumps that can develop when keratin becomes trapped beneath the skin. Our careful extraction technique targets visible milia while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin. Treatment is performed with attention to your skin’s condition for a cleaner, smoother appearance.
  • Blackhead Extraction: Blackheads form when oil and dead skin cells collect inside open pores and become oxidized at the surface. Professional extraction helps remove this buildup safely and effectively, leaving congested areas looking clearer and your skin feeling smoother.
  • Combination Extraction: When your skin has both milia and blackheads, a customized combination treatment can address multiple areas of congestion during one appointment. Our approach focuses on the specific areas requiring attention while supporting a clean, refreshed complexion.
  • Professional Facial Extractions: Facial extractions can be incorporated into a broader skincare routine when appropriate. Depending on your skin concerns, we can pair extraction services with other treatments and dermaplaning treatments to help improve overall skin texture and appearance.

Our Process

Our milia and blackhead extraction process begins with an assessment of your skin to identify areas of congestion and determine the most appropriate approach. Your skin is carefully prepared before extraction to help soften surface buildup and make the process as comfortable and controlled as possible. Our trained professionals then focus on visible blackheads, milia, and other areas of congestion that are suitable for extraction.

Each extraction is performed with care to avoid unnecessary pressure or irritation. Once the targeted areas have been addressed, your skin is cleansed and soothed to support recovery. Depending on your needs, additional skincare treatments may be recommended to complement your results. You can also explore our skin concerns and treatment options for additional ways to address ongoing congestion, texture, and other complexion concerns.

Post-Treatment Care Tips and Results

After professional extractions, your skin may appear slightly red or sensitive around treated areas. Avoid touching, picking, or squeezing the skin, as this can cause unnecessary irritation. Keep your complexion clean and hydrated, and avoid harsh exfoliants or active products immediately after treatment unless specifically recommended by your skincare professional.

Following your appointment, you can expect the treated areas to look clearer and feel smoother. Mild redness should settle as your skin recovers. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine can help manage oil and buildup between appointments.
