Why Extractions Matter When Your Treating Acne

If you’ve ever stared down a stubborn blackhead in the mirror, debated squeezing it (we see you), and then remembered you’re not a licensed aesthetician, this one’s for you. Professional extractions are a game-changer in acne treatment, and our Midwest DERMaesthetics team knows exactly how to clear your skin safely—without causing redness, irritation, or scarring.

And because we love giving your skin the expert care it deserves, we’re offering 10% off all acne-extracting treatments with a licensed aesthetician during March! 

Why Get Professional Extractions?

Acne doesn’t just sit on the surface—clogged pores, bacteria, and oil buildup beneath the skin lead to breakouts. Extractions remove these blockages in a controlled, sterile way, reducing inflammation and helping prevent future acne. Unlike at-home squeezing (which usually ends in regret), professional extractions minimize trauma to the skin, keeping it healthy and clear.

So, how often should you get them? It depends on your skin type and acne severity. Many patients see great results with monthly treatments, while others may need extractions every two weeks during active breakouts. Our aestheticians will assess your skin and recommend the best schedule for you.

How Midwest DERMaesthetics Aestheticians Perform Extractions

Not all extractions are created equal. At Midwest DERMaesthetics, we customize the process based on your skin type and concerns. Here’s how we do it:

HydraFacial Extractions

The HydraFacial’s vortex suction is a gentle yet powerful way to clear out blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion—without any pinching or redness. The treatment uses a specialized tip that vacuums out impurities while infusing your skin with hydrating, acne-fighting ingredients. If you want extractions and a serious glow, this one’s for you.

Customized Acne Facials with Manual Extractions

For more stubborn congestion, we offer custom acne facials that include manual extractions. Our licensed aestheticians use precise techniques to clear blocked pores while prepping the skin with warm towels and enzymes for a painless process. We also apply calming treatments afterward to soothe redness and irritation.

Deep Pore Cleanse & Extraction Treatment

This treatment is all about deep cleaning. We use professional-grade exfoliation, warm towels, and medical-strength pore-clearing solutions to soften and remove debris from the skin before performing extractions. If your skin feels congested and bumpy, this is a great way to reset.
