I have dark blackheads embedded in my nose. Should I get sebum extraction or pore care?

Hello, I am writing to inquire because I am stressed every time I look in the mirror due to the blackheads filling my nose. Sebum tends to accumulate easily around my nose, so over time, the sebum oxidizes, making my nose look dark and dirty. I have tried using nose strips, rolling oil on the skin, and even squeezing them out with my fingers at home, but they only make the area look clean for a brief moment before quickly filling up with blackheads again. It is frustrating because it feels like my pores are actually getting wider. Even when I apply makeup, only the area around my nose gets white residue inside the pores or looks bumpy and flaky, so I am very self-conscious whenever I go out. I am wondering what kind of professional care or treatment at a dermatology clinic would be effective for improving these deeply embedded blackheads and enlarged pores on my nose. I would appreciate your recommendation on whether I should start with medical skincare treatments like Aqua Peel or sebum scaling, or if it would be better to receive laser treatments to tighten pores as well. Please also provide an approximate treatment cycle and cost. I would also be very grateful if you could let me know the precautions after the procedure!

- 01CommentsI think it would be less of a burden if I could start with a small scope. That is a good question.340026.11.04
- 02CommentsSince blackheads and enlarged pores require different treatment goals, it would be helpful to ask during the consultation if they can be differentiated first. As the number of sessions varies from person to person, please try to schedule an evaluation together after the first treatment.220026.11.04

- 02CommentsI heard that the interval for Pico Toning is determined differently depending on your skin condition and the type of pigmentation. If you are worried about getting treatments too frequently, ask them to set the interval based on your skin type during the consultation, and also inquire at which session you want to check your progress. They say it is really important to be meticulous about sun protection after the procedure!7120026.10.22
