Extractions
Removal of clogged pores or blackheads.
An extraction is the process of clearing a clogged pore by manual or mechanical means. Extractions are often performed as part of a facial. Most people need at least a couple of extractions during each facial, though you may require more extractions if this is your first facial.
Blackheads are the most common reason for an extraction. A blackhead is not necessarily “dirt in the pores” as many people think. It is a pore that has become clogged with excess sebum and dead skin cells. The dark spot which is visible on the surface of the skin is oil which has oxidized and darkened on exposure to the air.
Depending on the size and depth, pustules and pimples can also be extracted. This often requires the use of a lancet to gently lift and remove the very top layer of the pustule to allow the contents to be easily extracted.
Some pores may not be ready to be extracted on the first attempt and may require several treatments before they can be cleared.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Both Dr. Schmid and Renee went above and beyond my expectations with their time, clearly presented information and with additional options to consider. I so appreciate the time both of them spent with me. In addition, I really appreciated a call the next day from Renee as she took the time to steer me in a good direction for the skincare. —Kay
I appreciated the time and information given during my consultation with Dr. Schmid. He was kind and patient with all of my questions and concerns. He was tactful and informative, giving advice and opinions about potential surgery options and other non-surgical methods. Renee was also patient, kind, and informative through the consultation and answering various additional questions, and sharing her experiences. The front office staff was warm and friendly and professional. My husband appreciated being a part of the consultation as well and was impressed with our reception and treatment. Thank you! —Billye
