Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Extraction (Add-on).

This add-on provides manual or professional extraction of clogged pores, blackheads, and milia that aren't removed by basic facials. It's recommended when congestion persists to reduce inflammation, improve texture, and boost facial effectiveness.

Duration varies by congestion level and allotted extraction time. Sessions usually add 5–20 minutes to your facial. Technicians assess skin and recommend appropriate extraction time to clear pores safely and effectively.

When performed by a licensed esthetician using proper technique and sanitation, extractions minimize risk of scarring. Following post-care instructions and avoiding aggressive at-home picking further reduces complications and supports healing.

You may feel mild pressure or brief discomfort during extractions, but it is generally tolerable. Temporary redness or slight swelling can occur but usually subsides within hours to a few days with calming care and sunscreen.

Yes — this add-on complements most facial services that don't already include extractions. Your esthetician will assess skin condition and advise if extractions are safe and recommended during your scheduled treatment.

Pricing starts at $15 and can go up to $25 based on the time needed. Final price depends on congestion level and allotted extraction time; your esthetician will confirm cost before proceeding.
