What is professional blackhead removal?
Blackheads are open pores filled with a plug of oil and dead skin cells; the tip turns dark when it meets air. They are most common on the nose, chin and forehead, where oil glands are larger. Squeezing them at home can irritate the skin, stretch pores or leave marks, which is why many people prefer a clinic treatment.
At Egg Clinic, blackhead removal combines several steps: softening and deep cleansing, careful extraction with sterile tools, and hydradermabrasion such as Aqua Peel, which uses water-based solutions and suction to loosen debris. Scaling or a light peel may be added to smooth the surface, followed by soothing care.
Who is a good candidate for blackhead removal?
- Persistent blackheads on the nose, chin or forehead
- Oily or combination skin with congested pores
- Rough, dull skin texture from build-up
- Anyone who wants a deep clean before an event or after travel
Very inflamed acne, active skin infections, sunburn or a recent strong peel are reasons to wait or choose a different plan. If you use prescription retinoids or isotretinoin, tell the doctor, as your skin may be more fragile. For enlarged pores or frequent breakouts, the doctor may suggest combining care with pore tightening or acne treatment.

What results can I expect?
Most people see clearer, smoother-looking pores straight after the session, sometimes with mild redness for a few hours. Because oil production continues, blackheads naturally form again over time, so the effect is maintained with regular treatments every few weeks and a good home routine. Gentle exfoliation, non-comedogenic skincare and sunscreen help keep pores clear between visits. Results vary with skin type, oil production and how often you are treated.
How the treatment works
-
Skin assessment
Your skin type and the extent of blackheads are checked so the doctor can choose the right combination of steps.
-
Cleansing & softening
The skin is cleansed and softened to loosen oil plugs and make extraction gentler.
-
Extraction & peel
Blackheads are carefully extracted, then hydradermabrasion, scaling or a light peel clears remaining debris.
-
Soothing & aftercare
A calming mask or LED may be applied. Avoid heavy makeup and saunas for the rest of the day and use sunscreen.
Tips for international patients
- A blackhead treatment is a good first-day option, as there is usually no downtime.
- Skip home squeezing and harsh scrubs for a few days before your appointment.
- Ask about pairing it with LED or a soothing facial if your skin is sensitive after a flight.
- Message us on WhatsApp to check which skin care options fit your schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Does professional blackhead removal hurt?
Extraction can feel a little uncomfortable, but most people find it very tolerable. Softening the skin first makes it gentler.
How often should I get blackhead removal?
Many people benefit from a session every two to four weeks, depending on how oily their skin is. The doctor can suggest a schedule.
Will blackheads come back after treatment?
Yes, blackheads re-form over time because skin keeps producing oil. Regular treatments and a suitable home routine help keep them under control.
Is there any downtime after blackhead removal?
There is usually no downtime. Some people have mild redness for a few hours after extraction.
Can blackhead removal shrink pores?
Clearing blackheads can make pores look smaller, but it does not change their structure. Pore tightening treatments can be added for that.
How much does blackhead removal cost in Seoul?
The price depends on which steps are included, so the doctor confirms it at consultation. You can see published prices on the skin care and facials price list.
