Why it's not safe to extract your own skin

Have you ever wondered why estheticians are safely able to extract but tell clients not to?

Here's why!

1:  During a facial treatment we clean, exfoliate, and soften your skin to prepare for extractions.  This is a very important step to loosen congestion and extract safely.

2:  Whether you're using your fingers or an extractor tool, it's not going to be as clean as our disinfected implements.  Be honest, where are you putting your tools after using them.

3:  When you go to extract your own skin, it's pushed harder than it should be and too rough to get pimples out that AREN'T READY!  Improper extracting and picking causes more trauma and damage than good.  As estheticians we are careful to only extract what is safe and ready to be removed.  Being too aggressive can cause more scarring.

4: Extracting at home can spread bacteria to other pores.  Why?  You aren't treated with an an appropriate antibacterial solution after extracting.  Also, during treatment, we can use High Frequency and LED light to bring down inflammation and kill bacteria before it can spread and cause havoc.
