Acne - Comedonal Extraction
Description
-
Acne can present as clogged pores, blackheads (open comedones), whiteheads, small bumps, or painful inflamed lesions. At INTEGRITY Skin & DermCare, we create personalized treatment plans to clear active breakouts, smooth skin texture, and prevent new acne formation.
For clogged pores and blackheads, we offer professional comedonal extraction to safely remove debris from the pores and improve skin clarity. Extraction is performed under sterile technique to minimize irritation and reduce the risk of scarring.
For deep, painful cystic lesions or a single stubborn bump, a small Kenalog (steroid) injection can be used for rapid relief—often reducing swelling within 24–48 hours.
