Medical extractions vs. extractions at the spa for acne treatment

Boston Acne Specialists are often asked the question of how a medical extraction differs from a spa extraction for acne treatment.

What to expect during a medial extraction

During a session of medical extractions, our licensed esthetician may steam your skin for a few minutes to open up your pores. The esthetician will then clean out your clogged pores, eliminating your comedones (whiteheads and blackheads) and decreasing the inflammatory acne lesions. Medical extractions are appropriate for most acne patients; they can be performed in conjunction with other in-office acne treatments and acne medications. Medical extractions are often combined with chemical peels, in order to achieve the most improvement. You may notice some redness of the treated area after your extractions, but you may apply makeup if desired. Most patients go back to work or social activities immediately following the treatment.

So another question you might be thinking is what makes a “medical extraction” different than using your own two fingers to pop a zit, something we at Clear Clinic refer to as “bathroom surgery” and is a big no-no. There answer is: A lot. First, popping your own zits is never a good idea. It can lead to further breakouts, scars and irreparable damage. Plus, the chances of you being able to fully remove the blemish without medical tools is near zilch. A medical extraction session often includes a chemical peel, to fully get rid of those dead skin cells. Before this, the esthetician will use an acne extractor in a sterile environment to remove the whiteheads or blackheads. Estheticians use medical grade gloves and sterile instruments when performing this procedure to make sure no bacteria is spread.
