Comedone Extraction
Comedone extraction removes contents from suitable blocked pores. Options are per lesion or full face up to 50 lesions. The lesions are assessed first, and the listed Mummy finishing step follows extraction.
Comedone Extraction is available at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea.
is this for me
Who it’s for
Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.
- People wanting selected blackheads or whiteheads assessed
- Those with comedones across several facial areas
- People checking whether a bump is suitable for removal before squeezing at home
Full face still means up to 50 lesions. It does not include automatic removal of every bump or deep inflammatory lesion.
start with your concern
Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.
Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.
Where you are now, and where we start
Selective removal per lesion or across the face, with a maximum of 50 lesions
The change you want, the impression you keep
Separate normal sebaceous filaments from comedones. White bumps such as milia can require another approach.
How it differs from similar options
Extraction clears suitable blocked contents; TA is a clinician-selected injection for local inflammation.
Health information and recovery schedule
Previous persistent marks or scarring · Retinoids, recent peels and medicines affecting bleeding
the principle
How it works
Comedone Extraction
Extraction physically clears suitable contents at a blocked pore opening. Lesion depth and an accessible opening matter, and excessive pressure should be avoided. It does not permanently change sebum production or every cause of pore blockage.
How it works
Identify comedones
Distinguish blackheads and whiteheads from other lesions.
Agree the scope
Choose individual lesions or full face up to 50.
Control pressure
Do not repeatedly force a resistant lesion.
Protect afterward
Finish with the listed Mummy step and advise against picking.
the qd standard
The same treatment, never the same plan.
Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.
- DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
- LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
- HONEST LIMIT
The limits, explained too
We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.
personal plan
From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.
Suitability before count
Do not force extractions merely to reach the maximum.
Protect each site
Avoid excessive repeat pressure when contents appear to remain.
Review recurrence
Consider new-lesion patterns alongside products and medication.
What the procedure is like
- Assess lesion type, count and any scarring or pigmentation history.
- Prepare hygienically and extract suitable lesions within the agreed scope.
- Finish with Mummy care and explain which areas to leave alone while healing.
The number, location and difficulty of suitable lesions determine the time needed.
Please read this before treatment
- Small red marks or crusts may occur; do not pick or squeeze them again.
- Report increasing pain, swelling, pus or spreading redness.
Safety & considerations
Possible reactions
- Local redness, tenderness or pinpoint bleeding
- Infection, scarring or post-inflammatory pigmentation
Review before care
- Previous persistent marks or scarring
- Retinoids, recent peels and medicines affecting bleeding
Repeated pressure on a deep painful lesion may worsen damage. A resistant lesion may require another treatment.
what to expect
What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.
Immediately after
Local redness or mild tenderness may remain.
Surface recovery
Reduce irritation and allow crusts to detach naturally.
Recurrence review
Use the pattern of new comedones to adjust prevention and repeat care.
Sessions & results
Removing blocked contents does not make pores disappear. Normal pore structures and deep lesions should not be aggressively pursued.

before consultation
Before you decide, the questions people always ask
No. The stated maximum is 50 lesions, and fewer may be appropriate depending on the skin and suitability of each lesion. Rather than filling the limit, only lesions that can safely be removed are chosen. Deep inflammation and other types of bump are assessed separately.
Some are normal sebaceous filaments. Repeated squeezing to remove all visible dots may cause irritation; identify true blackheads first. Clearing the contents does not make the pore itself disappear, so dots on the nose may become visible again over time.
Milia and closed comedones can be different lesions requiring different methods. Inclusion and any separate treatment are decided after assessment. On the forehead and cheeks, other lesions can be mixed among similar-looking white bumps, so each one is identified before extraction.
It is the finishing-stage name recorded in the clinic menu. The specific product and application are explained at the visit rather than inferred from that name. Home care is covered at the same time, including not touching extraction sites or picking off crusts.
Pressing the same site again can increase injury, inflammation and scarring. Leave it alone and have the residual lesion reassessed at your next visit. If swelling, pain or pus increases, or redness spreads, contact the clinic without waiting for that appointment.
