Acne Extraction & Deep Cleansing in Gangnam, Seoul
Professional, sterile extraction of blackheads and whiteheads combined with deep pore cleansing — done properly to avoid the scarring risk of at-home extraction.
Clearing Congested Pores the Safe Way
Blackheads and whiteheads form when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. At-home extraction with fingers or drugstore tools often pushes bacteria deeper into the skin or damages surrounding tissue, which can lead to scarring or worse breakouts.
Our professional extraction uses sterile, medical-grade tools and proper technique to safely clear congested pores without the trauma that comes from improper technique. This is paired with a deep pore cleansing to remove excess oil and debris, leaving skin visibly clearer and smoother.
This treatment works best as part of an ongoing routine, since new congestion naturally builds up over several weeks — many patients schedule it monthly as skin maintenance.
- Clears blackheads & whiteheads safely
- Sterile, medical-grade technique reduces scarring risk
- Deep pore cleansing included

Your Session & Recovery Timeline
Your skin is analyzed and gently steamed to soften pores and prepare for comfortable extraction.
A trained esthetician or nurse uses sterile tools to carefully clear blackheads and whiteheads, working methodically across congested areas.
A pore-clearing treatment and calming mask reduce redness and soothe the skin after extraction.
Mild redness is normal and typically resolves within 24 hours; makeup can usually be worn the next day.
Many patients return every 3–4 weeks to keep pores clear as part of routine skin maintenance.

Extraction & Deep Cleansing — FAQ
Is professional extraction better than doing it myself?
Yes — improper at-home extraction can push bacteria deeper into the skin and cause scarring, while professional extraction uses sterile tools and proper technique to minimize that risk.
Does this hurt?
Most patients feel mild pressure or brief pinching sensations rather than sharp pain, especially after the skin has been softened with steam.
How often should I come in?
Most patients see best results with a session every 3 to 4 weeks, which matches the typical cycle of new pore congestion forming.
Can this treat cystic acne too?
This treatment is designed for blackheads and whiteheads rather than deep cystic breakouts. For cystic or nodular acne, see our Cystic & Nodular Injection Therapy page.
Can I wear makeup after?
We recommend waiting until the following day, once any redness has fully settled, to let your skin recover cleanly.
