I'm wondering if I need to extract all the black spots I see on my nose.

I am wondering what I should check first when managing the small black spots on my nose. They are usually called blackheads, but I suspect that not all of them visible up close might be in the same condition. Rather than aiming to remove all the visible ones, I would like to consult first to see if these areas actually need to be cleaned up.

In particular, should I distinguish between the few dark spots on the tip of my nose and the small dots clustered around the sides of my nostrils? I am curious if you would describe them differently when examining them in person, even though they look similar in photos. I would like to know first whether this is sebum that requires management or if it is a natural appearance of the skin.

When it comes to sebum control, names like extraction or aqua peel come to mind first, and I am curious about the criteria for choosing between them. Are there cases where it is necessary to focus intensively on the nose versus treating the entire face? I would like to hear an explanation on why it is necessary to treat the cheeks as well, so that I can determine the scope that is best suited for my skin.

During the change of seasons, even if I am concerned about excess sebum, I think I would hesitate to get treatment if my skin feels tight or shows signs of dryness. Given this condition, I am wondering if soothing the skin should be prioritized over controlling sebum. I would like to confirm during the consultation that I do not choose harsh treatments simply because my skin looks shiny on the surface.

I'm actually more curious about how to maintain the results after the treatment than how they look immediately afterward. I want to know if I need to repeat the same treatment right away if spots reappear after a session, or if I should just accept them as natural to some extent. I feel like if I stare closely in the mirror trying to get rid of every tiny spot, my standards might become too high, haha.

Would it be a good idea to mention the nose strips or exfoliation products I use at home before the consultation? Would it be helpful to list not only the product names but also how often I use them and whether I have ever experienced stinging or redness after use? I would also like guidance on what I should adjust first when my hospital treatments overlap with my home care routine.

I am also curious about how much redness or marks I should expect if extraction is performed. Aside from whether makeup is allowed on the day of the procedure, I would like to hear specific precautions to take when rubbing the area around my nose or washing my face. If I have an important schedule, I would also like to ask if it would be better to schedule the appointment after checking my condition, rather than just the day before.

Would it be possible to receive a consultation at Maypure Hwajeong branch to differentiate between blackheads and sebum around my nose? I am also curious to know what explanations others who have received treatment for similar concerns heard and how they decided on their treatment plan. I am asking because I would like to know the guidelines for managing just what my skin needs, rather than trying to remove as much as possible unconditionally.
