BLACK HEADS/ WHITE HEADS/ COMEDONES REMOVAL
A comedone is a clogged hair follicle (pore) caused by the skin excrement (keratin) and oil. Whitehead is a closed comedone, or a blocked pore, whereas blackhead (opened comedone) is resulted from oxidized oil and pigmented excrements but not dirt. In the event of bacteria infection, it gives rise to pimples/ acnes. One could remove black or white heads by squeezing, just like how it was commonly practised by most people, but it is sure to cause skin damage in the process. It increases the risk of transmitting infection and scarring, and aggravating the infection into deeper layers of the skin.
Treatments
The “K Impurities Cleanser”
Removal of comedones is possible with advanced treatment options provided by our aesthetic centre:
Sylfirm X
An advanced treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency to treat skin issues like acne scars, pigmentation, wrinkles, and redness, while promoting collagen production for smoother, healthier skin.
Chemical Peel
A mild and soothing emulsion made from several types of fruit acid that is administered to the skin to kill-off bacteria and dissolve impurities, leaving the skin smoother, clean and clear after peeling off.
Micordermabrasion
One tip functions as a skin scraper to remove the impurities and comedones, the other to help suck away dead or unwanted skin.
Erbium YAG Laser
A stronger option used to etch off the impurities and comedones found deep in the pores. The peeling-off of the old skin helps to rejuvenate the growth of a new layer of soft, smoother skin texture.
