The skin especially the face demands attention and care from everyone. Acne is the number one enemy to all peoples in the struggle for a smooth looking face. Whiteheads and blackheads are the most common types of acne. The two can be removed effectively by an esthetician through a skin extractions Vancouver BC procedure.
Whiteheads and blackheads are known as comedonals and represent the two most common forms of acne. Comedonals arise when oil or sebum clogs hair follicles. What differentiates between the two forms of acne is how much exposure to air they have. Generally, whiteheads are closed by a mass of overgrowing dead cells whereas blackheads are closed.
There are different types of therapies individuals seek to treat the acne blemish. Some people use medication from drugstores while others from dermatologists. Another common alternative is an esthetician who is a professionally trained skin care expert. An esthetician helps relieve acne through facials; a face cleansing procedure where the blackheads and whiteheads are plucked off.
During the facial, an esthetician first cleanses, exfoliates and sometimes steams the face. This serves to soften up the hardened oil or sebum which causes the blackheads. When this is complete, they begin the extraction process. The esthetician should ensure that they wear hand gloves as they are dealing with body fluid which may transfer infections.
Estheticians may use extraction tools or index fingers to get rid of the blackheads on the face. Extraction tools are stainless steel and seem to be quicker but some clients complain of pain. In contrast, index fingers are much slower but some clients find them more comfortable. When using the index fingers, the esthetician should apply pressure on both sides of the blackhead and try to remove it gently from the follicle.
On the other hand, whiteheads are much more difficult to remove because of the layer of dead cells overgrowing the sebum plug. The only solution for whiteheads is a small sterile surgical blade which the esthetician can use to make a small opening in the skin. It takes time as it is a very delicate procedure but is effective. However, use of lancets is prohibited in some states.
It is important for the client and esthetician to observe basic safety measures and precautions during an extraction procedure. Firstly, inflamed areas in the face should not be touched as the infection might spread to other areas. Also, each procedure should not be more than ten minutes each. The client should go slowly on the number of procedures as many of them at one time cause trauma to the skin. Facials every two weeks is recommended.
Acne and blemishes are best removed using extraction. In fact, some people notice improvement of the face almost immediately. However, a client should be wary of their expectations. Proper management even at home is crucial in dealing with acne. Also, expect pain during the treatment depending on the size and oiliness as well as aggression of the esthetician.
