Blackheads

What are Blackheads and how can they be extracted?

Blackheads are small, dark lesions that appear on the skin, usually around the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin on the face. They can also be seen on the chest, shoulders, and back. Blackheads are caused by the accumulation of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria in the pores that gather in the skin.

The best treatment for your Blackheads may be a Hydro Facial, a Skin Peel or a combination. t just depends on the number of blackheads, how stubborn they are to remove and whether any of them have developed into spots or, blemishes.

However, there are certain things you can do at home to prevent the Blackheads from appearing on your face, back, and chest.

Cleanse your face and body: Regularly, gently wash your face and body with an oil-free cleanser. This will remove excess oil and bacteria from the pores.

Exfoliate your skin: Exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells which clog up the pores. You can use a gentle scrub or with an alpha-hydroxy acid or beta-hydroxy acid product. Please call us first for a recommendation

Wash your hands: It is very common for all of us to touch our faces. Try and avoid touching your face and wash your hands regularly. Touching the face results in the pores getting clogged up with bacteria, which in turn can lead to spots, blemishes, and acne.

Sometimes, no matter how much care is take, Blackheads will still appear. That is why contacting us and getting a one-off or yearly Blackhead treatment, may well be the best way to keep the face clean, clear and healthy.
