Extraction Analysis
- Dehydrated skin may benefit from a hydrating treatment before extractions.
Pre-Softening Before Extractions: Desincrustation
- Chemicals soften skin and impactions, converting hard plugs to a softer consistency.
- More alkaline solutions targeted at oily areas, clogged pores, blackheads, and pimples.
Desincrustation: Using Chemicals for Extraction
- Apply liquids (baking soda/water solution) only to the affected areas.
- Use a brush or cotton
- Allow for 10-15 minutes on the face
Galvanic Current for Extraction
- The process is suitable for oily skin.
Vacuum/Suction for Extraction
- Commonly used for sensitive, couperose, or acne-prone skin
Extraction of Open Comedones
- After desincrustation, remove product from the skin.
- Keep the skin moist but not wet.
- Use damp cotton on the index finger.
- Gently press downward and inward to remove remaining impaction.
Milia Extractions
- Confirm lesions are milia (round/perfectly shaped)
- Spread the skin taut with fingertips
- Use a sterile lancet to lift top layers.
- Increased pressure may help.
- Avoid if not successful on the first attempt.
General Extraction Rules
- Limit extraction to no more than 10 minutes.
- Avoid using AHA products after extractions.
High-Frequency Extractions
- Alternating Tesla pulse current
- No chemical changes
- Improves water molecule vibration in the skin (creates heat)
Electrodes
