Can I see the effects of acne treatment without extraction?
2026.09.19 18:38
I have small bumps on my cheeks and around my nose, so I am looking into acne treatment. I am writing to ask because I would prefer to avoid extraction if possible. I had extraction done before, and I remember my skin turning red and marks remaining for several days, so I am a bit hesitant about it.
The current skin trouble is not severely inflamed, but rather consists of very small, fine comedones.
In this case, is extraction absolutely necessary to see the effects of acne treatment?
I am wondering if there are acne treatment methods that allow for natural improvement by gently managing sebum and dead skin cells. When starting treatment, is it possible to selectively extract only the areas that require extraction and proceed with other treatments for the rest?
I want to improve my skin slowly without causing too much irritation.

I'm worried about dryness and redness on my cheeks in late autumn. What kind of care would be best?[6]
CommentsIt seems wise of you to be cautious with exfoliation when your cheeks feel tight and red due to the heating. I would also like to take your advice on whether I should consult about soothing care or a skin booster first.220026.11.03 - 02CommentsWhat kind of skincare is good in this case?450026.11.02
- 03CommentsIt’s amazing that you’ve consistently managed with just soothing care without touching your hands. I’ll check the reply when it comes up regarding whether the extraction comes first or if the peeling is done together.200026.11.03

- 02CommentsWhen breakouts occur, I'm always confused about the order of things—whether to exfoliate first or moisturize first. It's nice to find out that you share the same concern.580026.10.30
- 03CommentsIt would be difficult to determine the required number of sessions from the start, as it varies depending on the level of inflammation, the presence of scars, and management goals. It would make comparisons easier if you asked about the timing of the interim evaluation and the criteria for modifying the plan during the consultation.520026.10.28
- 01CommentsI'm also stressed because I keep getting acne, but it seems like getting laser treatments consistently is important. I think it will get better after receiving more than 10 sessions.2180026.10.26
- 02CommentsI imagine you are really curious if you can manage both blackheads and acne at the same time. It would be a good idea to consult with them to see if they can be treated together after assessing your skin condition.710026.10.25
- 03CommentsI get breakouts on my chin before and after my period exactly the same way, so it really feels like I'm on the same page. During your consultation, please ask about the best order to manage the current inflammation and remaining marks, as well as available time slots after work!1310026.10.25
