Facial Extractions in Austin, TX

At ProDerm Skin & Surgery, we offer professional facial extractions to safely clear clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads. While at-home care can sometimes lead to irritation or scarring, professional extractions are performed in a clean, controlled setting to improve skin clarity and reduce congestion. This treatment is often included as part of a medical facial or acne care plan and can be tailored to each patient’s needs.

Discomfort: Mild — patients may feel light pressure during the procedure, but otherwise report only mild levels of discomfort.
Recovery Time: Minimal — redness may occur but typically resolves within a day of treatment.
Results: Immediate improvement in skin clarity.

When performed by a trained professional, extractions can:

• Remove blackheads, whiteheads, and excess buildup from the skin
• Reduce skin congestion and improve overall texture
• Minimize irritation/scarring that may result from at-home care

Extractions may be recommended for patients who:

• Have clogged pores, blackheads, or non-inflamed acne
• Are seeking a gentle, non-invasive pore-cleansing option
• Are not using topical medications as part of home care

During Treatment
Your provider will use sterile tools and techniques to gently release buildup from pores. The treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes and may be combined with other services like facials or chemical peels for optimal skin health results.

After Treatment
Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but usually resolves within a few hours. Patients should avoid picking at the skin or applying harsh products immediately after treatment to avoid any irritation.

Results
Skin often appears clearer and smoother right away, though multiple sessions may be recommended to manage ongoing congestion and maximize results.

Facial extractions can help improve:

• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Acne congestion
• Large or clogged pores
• Uneven skin texture
