FAQ

Will extractions get rid of my blackheads forever?

Extractions are not a permanent solution to blackhead removal. Factors such as excessive oil production, inadequate exfoliation, and genetics contribute to the formation of blackheads & clogged pores. To achieve longer-term improvement and reduce reoccurrence, it is essential to incorporate an effective & consistent skincare routine which includes regular cleansing, sufficient hydration & ongoing professional treatments to keep your blackheads from returning.

How are extractions performed?

During an extraction, a special tool called a curette is used & gentle pressure is applied around the clogged pore, forcing the excess dirt & oil to be expelled.

Professional vs. DIY: While some people attempt to perform extractions at home, it’s generally safer to have them done by a trained professional. At TCC, extractions are performed after the use of steam to avoid damaging the skin & to minimize scarring.
