Acne Treatment: The Importance of Professional Extractions

Acne is a frustrating and often times embarrassing skin condition that affects people of all ages. While there are countless over-the-counter products available, one effective method for managing breakouts is through professional extractions. Let’s delve into why getting professional extractions are important for treating acne. 

What is an extraction? 

Acne is caused when a pore becomes clogged, the two most common culprits being sebum or dead skin cells. An extraction is when a sterile instrument is used to removed these clogs. Extractions are commonly used in conjunction with facials and working with a professional ensures the least amount of damage to your skin. 

Why Are Professional Extractions Important? 

  • Effective removal of impurities 
  • One of the primary benefits of professional extractions is their ability to effectively remove impurities from the skin. Clogged pores can lead to breakouts, so clearing them can help prevent future acne.
  • Reduced risk of scarring 
  • Attempting extractions at home can lead to skin irritation, inflammation, and even scarring. As professionals, we use sterile tools and techniques to minimize trauma to the skin thereby reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring.
  • Guidance and aftercare 
  • During your facial, you’ll receive valuable skincare advice tailored to your specific needs. We can recommend suitable products and routines to help you maintain your skin in between appointments, empowering you to take control of your acne treatment.

If you’re considering professional extractions, here’s what you can typically expect:

  • Consultation: Our estheticians will assess your skin and discuss your concerns.
  • Cleansing: Your face will be thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, dirt, and oils.
  • Extraction: Using sterile tools, the esthetician will carefully extract clogged pores, blackheads, or whiteheads.
  • Post-Care: After the extractions, they may apply soothing products to reduce redness and inflammation.


Professional extractions are a vital component of an effective acne treatment plan. By addressing clogged pores safely and effectively, extractions not only help treat existing breakouts but also prevent future ones. If you’re struggling with acne, consider seeking the expertise of a licensed skincare professional. With their guidance and the benefits of professional extractions, you can take significant strides toward achieving clearer, healthier skin.

Treating Maturation Arrest Acne

By SIGNAL Beauty • April 17, 2023
Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it is typically associated with adolescence, adults can also experience acne. One type of acne that is particularly challenging to treat is maturation arrest acne. In this article, we will discuss what maturation arrest acne is and how to treat it. Maturation arrest acne is a type of acne that occurs when the skin's natural shedding process is disrupted. It looks like little pebbles stuck under the skin that seem to hang around forever. In a general acne life-cycle, the comedones mature into blackheads, which have been oxidized. But here, the maturation process is stopped or arrested. Instead, the clogs get trapped and the accumulations continue to grow in size. Normally, skin cells mature and shed naturally, but in cases of maturation arrest acne, skin cells become stuck in the follicle along with excess oil, leading to a small pebbly-looking clog. These clogs are tightly impacted in the pore and don’t allow bacteria to collect, and so don’t typically get inflamed.
