Facial Extractions: Are They Good Or Bad For Your Skin?

Can extractions really damage the skin?

At Ivory Aesthetics Dubai, we often come across this question.

Some women can be apprehensive when it comes to facial extractions, as they feel it is harmful to the skin, and is an unnecessary step in a facial treatment.

However, facial extractions are in fact extremely essential to properly cleanse your skin.

Pores, blackheads, and small pimples can get in the way of healthy, beautiful skin – and facial extractions effectively target them to ensure your skin is at its best.

But, it’s important to ensure that they are done by a trained and professional aesthetician.

This is because the process requires mandatory skills and expertise, along with thorough knowledge of finger / tool placement, correct pressure, and squeezing technique.

If the extraction is done incorrectly, it can lead to increased irritation, broken capillaries and additional acne problems.

Important Things To Consider

Extractions are highly recommended for acne prone skin. These are few things to consider:

• Never use an extraction tool at home, it can damage your skin
• Always consult a professional and experienced aesthetician
• Get a facial once every couple of weeks until you have clear skin
• Stick to proper skin care products and routine at home.
