COMEDONE EXTRACTION

Comedone is the blocked hair follicles in the skin. Keratin(Skin Debris) combines with oil to block the follicle.

Description

Comedone is present in acne-prone skin. They are either closed, which are whiteheads, skin-colored small pimples, or open blackheads. They mainly appear on the forehead and chin. Comedones are full of acids, bacteria, and other materials, such as dead skin cells. It leads to scarring if left untreated. In Comedone Extraction, a Comedone extractor instrument is placed central to the Comedone, and firm downward pressure is applied. So, as a result, unwanted material then comes out from the Comedone. Dermatologist removes pus and ineffective material that helps to reduce any scarring from an acne lesion. The procedure reduces the number of future inflamed lesions and the recurrence rate of comedones.
