Comedonal Extraction

Skin comedones are those ugly little facial bumps that are more commonly known as blackheads and whiteheads. They pop up when pores become clogged with an oily substance called sebum which leads to the appearance of tiny black bumps (blackheads), or white bumps (whiteheads).Comedones are difficult to cover with makeup or concealer, and spreading makeup on them only makes the situation worse by clogging the pores.

Comedone extraction is done with a special instrument called a comedone extractor. This is a metal tool that has a sharp blade at one end to puncture the head of the comedone. The other end is used to apply pressure once the comedone is opened - to help remove the sebum that's blocking the follicle.
