Why are extraction facials important?
Whether you’re an avid watcher of pimple popping and trapped blackhead videos, or you cringe at the thought, extraction is an important step of a facial and a great addition to your skincare routine!
When getting a facial here at Aspire Beauty & Aesthetics, your technician may extract your skin after cleansing and steaming to help open up the pores. It’s done using sterile medical instruments to gently remove blackheads, millia, whiteheads and more from the skin. It can be painful, depending on your personal pain threshold, but it is only a fast and mild discomfort.
Can I do this at home?
We’re all guilty of seeing a spot or blackhead and trying to pop it ourselves, but untrained hands can almost always make it worse. Extractions are best carried out by trained and experienced professionals, as you may cause scarring, or the follicle to become more inflamed.
How frequently should I be doing this?
This depends on your skin type, as those with oilier skin may find they need to do this more often. Make sure you have a consultation with your aesthetician to discuss your skin care needs, as well as develop a routine for you to stick to in between appointments to keep your skin in the best condition, as well as for some much needed self care!
