What determines the “best extraction facial in Singapore”?
Even if you have seemingly acne-free skin, it doesn’t mean that your skin is in the clear. There can be blackheads and comedones that are embedded under, leaving little bumps on your skin. You could use cosmetics to treat it, but it would take forever to effectively unclog pores. The most effective solution to treat blackheads and comedones, as well as pimples and whiteheads, are none other than facial extraction, a direct treatment to unclog pores. Obviously, we are not saying that cosmetic products do not help, we do believe in them. However, we strongly recommend using them in conjunction with facial extraction. You start with facial extraction and use cosmetics to help maintain your skin to reduce the build-up of debris on and in your skin.
Will facial extractions damage my skin?
While extraction tools are easily accessible, you should never attempt extraction at home, as they could damage or even worsen your skin condition. Instead, leave it to the professionals to remove all of your skin’s worries. With professional tools and skillsets, your skin will not only be clear and flawless, it will also be damage free. During a facial extraction, gunk and debris are systematically and meticulously removed to help your pores breathe again. We recommend a cleanse at least once a month to help you achieve clear and acne-free skin.
What’s the difference between blackheads and whiteheads?
Both blackheads and whiteheads are initial signs of acne, but what is the difference? Well, blackheads are considered open comedones while whiteheads are closed comedones. Extracting blackheads does not require our therapists to “break” the surface of your skin. As you can imagine, whiteheads are the opposite of blackheads and do require us to “break” the skin in order to extract them. Leaving this process to our skilled therapists is a better option compared to extracting it yourself and accidentally triggering an acne breakout.
General Questions & Answers
Will facial extractions heal acne scars?
The short answer is no facial extractions will not heal acne scars. However, it is possible to heal scars with skincare products, lasers or skinboosters. Facial extraction, as the name suggests, is to primarily remove excess debris from your skin to help you keep it clean and to prevent future breakouts.
Will facial extractions leave acne scars?
When done by a professional, extractions should not leave any acne scars. However, it is important to note that marks on your skin are common and it is a normal side effect of extractions because of the pressure applied to your skin.
What are the other types of acne?
The “pimple” is a general term used to describe an inflamed pore. We’ve already mentioned blackheads and whiteheads but what are the other types of acne?
Well, we have papules, which are little red raised bumps with no visible fluids. Pustules are similar to papules but are filled with fluid or pus (thus the name). Lipoma is an abnormal growth of extra fat cells found under the skin. Cysts are sac-like pockets of tissue that are often filled with fluids. Lastly, Milia are small tiny white bumps that occur when keratin gets stuck under the skin.
Professional Extractions vs Home Extractions & the side effects
We both know that it is possible to damage your skin with a bacterial infection when done without professional help. Inflammation and potential scarring will follow if done incorrectly. Some other side effects of home extractions include the following
When doing facial extractions, be it at home or by a professional, skin irritation and redness is one of the most common side effects. This may be caused by excess pressure on the skin or exfoliation during the process. Beauticians generally limit extraction times to a maximum of 20 minutes per session in order not to overstimulate the skin.
Breakouts occur when bacteria enter your skin during the extraction process. With professional extractions, all avenues of bacteria are eliminated thoroughly through proper sanitisation, cleansing and handling of equipment. If done at home, breakouts are prone to occur if no sanitisation is done.
If done incorrectly (at home), you will risk causing more harm than good to your precious skin. When too much force is used to try to squeeze a pimple before it is ready for extraction, it may prolong the acne-healing process and increase the risk of scarring. When done right with our professional beautician and proper equipment, Chelsea Aesthetics facial extractions will clear clogged pores and most redness will subside within 3 days.
