U-AMI Korean Medicine Clinic Seoul - Herbal Esthetic Acne Extraction (Full Face)

A Korean medicine doctor checks your acne type
and extracts only where needed

This skin care program targets comedonal acne, whiteheads and clogged pores on the face. A Korean medicine doctor examines them and selects the areas to extract based on your skin condition. It can be applied to many areas of the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, chin and around the nose, and the treatment time and range may vary with the number and depth of lesions and your skin sensitivity.

First, we check whether extraction suits your acne

Acne often starts when sebum and dead skin clog the pores, and depending on the type, extraction may or may not be appropriate. Before treatment, the doctor distinguishes whiteheads, blackheads, inflamed acne and milia, then decides the treatment range.

Lesions suitable for extraction are opened very finely to remove sebum and comedones while minimizing skin damage. Acne that is already red, swollen or very painful is not forcibly extracted, and other treatment may come first depending on the inflammation.

Recommended for

• Several small whiteheads on the forehead, cheeks or chin
• Bumpy skin from sebum trapped in the pores
• Bothered by blackheads or whiteheads
• Makeup that goes on unevenly because of skin texture
• Comedonal acne that keeps coming back in the same area
• Acne that is hard to extract at home
• Unsure whether bumps are milia or whiteheads
• Want acne extraction done safely after a skin check

Treatment steps and duration

The treatment consists of pain relief, extraction, pharmacopuncture, light therapy and a modeling mask, and is expected to take about 1 hour 30 minutes. Temporary redness, tenderness, slight bleeding or small scabs may appear afterwards, and recovery varies from person to person.

※ Severely red and painful inflamed acne, deep nodular acne or cystic acne may need anti-inflammatory treatment before simple extraction.
