Are all the black spots on the nose blackheads that need to be squeezed out?

It is easy to assume that any small black dots on the nose are blackheads, but I am curious how they are distinguished during an actual consultation. When viewed up close, there can be differences between areas with densely packed similar dots and areas that appear larger and darker. I would like to confirm first whether it is appropriate to extract all of them simply because they are visible.
I also came across the term "sebaceous gland filament." Could you explain how that differs from blackheads? I'm not trying to memorize the terms to distinguish them myself; I just want to know which ones can be reduced through care and which ones I should accept as a natural skin appearance. I feel like setting an unrealistic goal might be too much to ask.
I am wondering if extraction or sebum control should be performed immediately if the area around the nose is dry or red. I think it is necessary to separately check whether the sebum is visible and if the skin is in a condition to withstand irritation. In particular, since I am concerned about the creases next to the nose, I would like to know if the treatment method varies depending on the specific area.
When consulting about Aqua Peel or extraction treatments, what are the key differences I should focus on when making my choice? Rather than assuming that a stronger cleanse is better just based on the name, I would like to be guided through the necessary process right now. I am also curious about when I should report any irritation during the treatment and whether the scope of the procedure can be adjusted.
I would like to ask if it is safe to assume that the skin has not been properly cared for if spot-like areas reappear after a treatment. Since sebum levels can fluctuate, I would like to know the goals of the maintenance care from the start. I am also curious whether the next treatment is scheduled on a fixed date or if it is decided based on skin condition and any discomfort.
I also plan to mention the nose strips, oil cleansers, and exfoliating products I use at home during the consultation. Since I might be applying multiple treatments to the same area, would it be helpful if I also told you how often I use them? I would also like guidance on which products I should temporarily adjust after the procedure and if there are any changes I need to make to my usual facial cleansing routine.
I would like to inquire if a consultation is available at the City Hall Station branch to differentiate between sebum and blackheads on my nose. I am curious about a level of care that allows for clean, irritation-free management, rather than aiming for a look like the photo where no pores are visible. Instead of constantly checking with my hands, I want to properly care for only the areas that need it. They are just small dots, but my worry is taking longer than I expected, haha.
