What is Acne Extractions?

Acne extractions are the professional, sterile removal of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and congested pores. Done correctly, they reduce breakouts and lower the risk of scarring from picking at home. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, extractions are often combined with peels, LED or laser.
