Cheongdam Antian Clinic: The Global Standard for Sterile Pore Clearance & Follicular Health

Achieving a perfectly smooth skin texture requires the precise, manual removal of follicular obstructions that cannot be cleared by topical products alone. At Cheongdam Antian Clinic, we treat Acne Extractions as a high-precision medical procedure designed to evacuate sebum plugs and keratin buildup without causing dermal trauma. This guide explains how our precision-led approach helps international patients eliminate "bumps" and prevent inflammatory breakouts through advanced Korean medical protocols.

What are Acne Extractions?

Acne extractions involve the physical removal of comedones—specifically blackheads (open) and whiteheads (closed)—using specialized surgical-grade tools under high-magnification light. Unlike home extractions which often lead to scarring or secondary infection, clinical extractions at Cheongdam Antian Clinic focus on the complete evacuation of the "core" while protecting the integrity of the pore wall. At Cheongdam Antian Clinic, we utilize a diagnostic framework to identify which lesions are ready for clearance, ensuring that we only intervene when it is safest for your skin's long-term health.

Key Smoothing & Refinement Treatments

• Sterile Manual Extractions: Performed by experienced medical aestheticians using vertical pressure techniques to ensure the follicle is cleared without horizontal skin tearing.
• Scaling & Keratolytic Prep: Uses medical-grade solutions to soften the "sebum glue" before extraction, making the process significantly more comfortable and effective.
• Intralesional Injections (Acne Shots): For deep, cystic lesions that cannot be extracted, we provide targeted anti-inflammatory injections to rapidly shrink the swelling and prevent scarring.
• The "Antian Deep-Clear" Protocol: Our signature combination of Dermal Softening, Precision Extraction, and Post-Extraction Cryo-Calming for a total texture reset.
