Why Extraction Alone Isn’t Enough

(Department: Dermatology)

'If I keep getting extractions,

my acne will improve, right?'

More people than you might expect believe that their acne will improve if they only receive extractions.

In fact, after an extraction, raised areas may subside, making it appear as though the acne has immediately improved.

However, extraction alone may not be enough to completely improve acne.

From this point on, we will explain why and describe the approach needed to properly expect improvement in acne.

Hongdae Acne Clinic (Department: Dermatology) Why Acne Does Not Improve Even After Extraction

Acne extraction

Extraction may help improve existing comedones or some inflammatory lesions by removing sebum and dead skin cells accumulated inside the pores.

However, extraction is a treatment that removes lesions that have already formed and helps keep them from worsening; it does not resolve the underlying causes of acne itself.

Various causes of acne

Acne often occurs through the combined effects of increased sebum production, abnormal keratinization of the pores, bacterial proliferation, and inflammatory responses.

If these causes remain unchanged, new acne lesions are likely to continue developing even after extraction.

In addition, attempting to extract red inflammatory acne or deep nodular acne without caution may instead cause greater skin damage and lead to scarring.

In other words, it is important to remember that trying to address acne through extraction alone may make it difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

Hongdae Acne Clinic (Department: Dermatology) What Is the Correct Way to Treat Acne?

Then, what is the best way to approach acne treatment?

The most important thing is to follow the correct treatment sequence.

Comedonal acne and inflammatory acne

For example, if the acne is in its early stage and mainly consists of comedones, sebum and dead skin cells should be managed first to improve the skin environment and prevent new lesions from forming.

If inflammatory acne is actively progressing, treatment to control the inflammation should be provided before extraction.

Treatment that does not match the stage of the condition may instead cause irritation to accumulate in the skin, potentially worsening the lesions.

Rather than starting with extraction indiscriminately, it is important to first clearly assess the current condition of the lesions and provide treatment suited to that condition.

Please remember that this approach can help you expect stable recovery and faster improvement without leaving damage to the skin.

Hongdae Acne Clinic (Department: Dermatology) What You Must Check Before Deciding on Treatment

Even when the acne appears similar, the treatment method may vary depending on the condition of the skin and the cause of the lesions.

• Some people have high sebum production.

• Others are strongly affected by hormonal changes.

• In some cases, the condition may have already progressed to scarring.

Therefore, rather than simply following someone else’s treatment process or a popular procedure, it is important to first assess the current condition of your own skin.

Before deciding on treatment, be sure to check whether your skin condition is clearly assessed and whether a treatment method suited to it is recommended.

• When the acne first began

• Which areas it repeatedly affects

• What kind of response occurred with previous treatment, and so on

When sufficient discussion is followed by a detailed diagnosis and a clear analysis of the causes,

it is possible to create more stable and satisfactory changes. Please remember this.

U&I Clinic, Hongdae–Sinchon

Receiving many extractions at a Hongdae Acne Clinic does not necessarily guarantee good results.

Extraction is a treatment performed alongside other treatments when necessary, to stabilize lesions and improve the effectiveness of other procedures.

Please remember that it is difficult to effectively improve all acne through extraction alone.

To expect proper results, the current condition of the lesions, skin type, and causes must be identified, followed by step-by-step treatment suited to those factors.

Therefore, before deciding on treatment, be sure to check whether you will receive sufficient consultation and a detailed diagnosis.

We hope today’s post was helpful to those considering acne treatment methods.
