Acne extraction in Busan Seomyeon

What is medical acne extraction, and why is it different from a salon or a mirror in Busan?

Extraction is the physical clearing of a blocked pore: a blackhead (open comedone) expressed with a looped tool and the right angle of pressure; a whitehead (closed comedone) opened with a sterile point first so the contents come out instead of sideways; a small cyst drained with a fine blade when it is ready and left alone when it is not. Done by the doctor, it clears a face of congestion in one visit with a day of red spots and no marks. Done in a salon with a steamer and thumbs, or in a mirror at midnight, the same lesions are pushed deeper, inflamed and scarred, which is the single commonest cause of the dents we treat on the scar plan.

At Boom Dermatology extraction is a medical step inside the acne plan, not a facial. The doctor decides what is ready to extract and what is not, which is the skill; a steroid injection flattens a cyst that cannot be drained; acne toning ₩110,000 calms the skin after; and a prescribed retinoid keeps the pores from re-blocking so extraction becomes rare rather than monthly. It is priced at consultation by the number of lesions because ten blackheads on a nose and a face of closed comedones are different sessions. Milia, which look like whiteheads and are not, have their own page.

Downtime after acne extraction, and flying home

Red spots at each extracted lesion for a day, make-up the next morning, no picking at the spots. Toning after leaves a flush for an hour. Fly the same evening.

Why is salon or home extraction different?

Judgement and technique. A salon treats everything on the face the same way with steam and pressure; the doctor decides what is ready, opens closed lesions before expressing them, and follows the angle of the pore so nothing is pushed into the dermis. The difference shows a year later as the absence of dents. At Boom Dermatology extraction is done by the doctor, not delegated.

Will it treat my acne?

It clears the congestion; it does not treat the disease. Acne that is inflamed needs medication and the acne plan; extraction is a step inside it, and on its own it is a monthly cycle. Patients are told that before they book.

How often should it be done?

Every four to six weeks while the retinoid takes effect, then rarely: once the pores stop re-blocking, most patients at our Seomyeon skin clinic need extraction only before an event or after a lapse in the routine.

Does it hurt, and will it leave marks?

A sharp pinch per lesion, less with numbing cream for a full face; red spots for a day and no marks when it is done correctly. The marks come from the lesions that were squeezed at home before you came.

What should not be extracted?

A deep, hard nodule, which has nothing to express and scars when forced; it is injected instead. Anything inflamed and widespread, which calms on medication first. Milia, which are not comedones. The doctor at Boom Dermatology in Busan says no to those at the consultation.
