The Truth About Extractions

Written By Skynned Esthetics

Extractions remove compacted oil, sweat, dead skin cells and debris from clogged pores. When done correctly, they help prevent breakouts, refine texture, and allow products to work better.

When done incorrectly, they cause:

• Broken capillaries

• Scarring

• Prolonged inflammation

• More congestion

This is why technique and training matter.

During your treatment, I will assess

• Which pores are ready to be extracted

• Which should be left alone

• How much pressure is safe

• What calming products to apply afterward

Do Extractions Hurt?

You may feel brief pressure, but it should never feel aggressive or unbearable. Your comfort and skin integrity come first.
