Summary Content

Extractions are a professional skincare treatment that safely removes blackheads, whiteheads, and impurities from clogged pores—helping to prevent acne and dullness. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, extractions are part of our customized facial treatments to promote clearer, healthier skin with minimal irritation.

Our trained providers use sterile tools and precise techniques to gently clear pores, especially in oil-prone areas like the T-zone. This reduces breakouts, improves texture, and minimizes the risk of scarring or infection compared to at-home extractions.

Often recommended for acne-prone or congested skin, extractions are paired with cleansing, exfoliation, and post-care to calm and restore your skin.

What Are Extractions?

Extractions are a clinical skincare technique used to manually clear the skin of impurities like blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, and excess oil. Often included in professional facials and acne treatments, they help reduce congestion, minimize breakouts, and enhance overall skin clarity.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, extractions are performed by experienced skincare specialists using sterile instruments and precise methods to ensure safe and effective removal of buildup. This careful approach helps avoid the scarring, infection, or inflammation that can occur with DIY extractions, making it a safer, more effective option for maintaining healthy, clear skin.

Benefits of Extractions

Professional extractions play a key role in maintaining healthy, clear skin—especially when included in a customized facial at Rejuvenation Dermatology. Benefits include:

  • Unclogged Pores
    Extractions remove blackheads, whiteheads, and excess oil, helping to clear congestion and promote a cleaner, more balanced complexion.
  • Breakout Prevention
    By eliminating buildup before it leads to inflammation, extractions help reduce the risk of future breakouts, particularly in oily or acne-prone skin.
  • Smoother Texture
    Cleared pores improve skin texture by reducing roughness and uneven tone.
  • Better Product Absorption
    Freshly cleared skin allows skincare products to absorb more deeply, boosting their effectiveness.
  • Refined Pore Appearance
    Routine extractions help minimize the appearance of enlarged pores caused by buildup.
  • Safer Than DIY Picking
    Performed with sterile tools and professional technique, clinical extractions lower the risk of scarring or irritation.
  • Brighter, Healthier Skin
    By clearing debris and encouraging circulation, extractions contribute to a more radiant, refreshed complexion.

Conditions Extractions Can Address

Extractions are a valuable part of professional skincare treatments, addressing a range of common concerns to promote clearer, healthier skin. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, extractions are used to enhance skin clarity and are especially effective for the following conditions:

  • Blackheads and Whiteheads (Comedones)
    Removes compacted oil and dead skin trapped in pores, helping to prevent buildup and inflammation.
  • Mild to Moderate Acne
    Clears congestion in breakout-prone areas to reduce existing blemishes and prevent future flare-ups.
  • Oily or Congested Skin
    Controls excess oil and pore buildup, often associated with hormonal imbalances or oily skin types.
  • Enlarged or Blocked Pores
    Eliminates debris that can stretch pores, leading to a smoother, more refined appearance.
  • Dull or Uneven Skin Texture
    Clears pore congestion and supports exfoliation for improved radiance and tone.

What To Expect During Extractions

Extraction treatments are a safe, effective way to clear congested pores and enhance overall skin clarity. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

  • Personalized Skin Evaluation
    Your skincare expert will begin with a consultation and thorough skin analysis to identify congestion and tailor the treatment to your specific skin type and needs.
  • Cleansing and Preparation
    The session begins with a gentle cleanse to remove surface impurities. Steam may be applied to soften the skin and open pores for easier, more comfortable extractions.
  • Professional Extractions
    Using sterile tools and expert technique, your provider will carefully remove blackheads, whiteheads, and pore-clogging debris with precision to minimize irritation and avoid scarring.
  • Soothing Post-Treatment Care
    A calming mask or anti-inflammatory product is applied to reduce redness and promote healing, leaving the skin soothed and refreshed.
  • Little to No Downtime
    Mild redness may occur but typically fades within a few hours, allowing you to return to your normal routine right away.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, extractions are often included in customized facials or acne treatments to help reveal smoother, clearer, and healthier skin.
