The appearance of pigmentation, acne, and blackheads is a pressing problem for men and women. You can cope with such troubles in different ways: some prefer traditional methods, while others do not want to wait long for results and go to a cosmetologist. For blackheads, a specialist can recommend various medications, as well as procedures that will help you deeply cleanse the pores and avoid the appearance of new comedones.
How to remove blackheads?
A cosmetologist is able to answer this question for a specific patient after examining him. The choice of cleaning method depends on the degree of skin contamination. As a rule, the client is offered mechanical or hardware procedures to remove comedones and improve complexion. To completely solve the problem, you will need only 2-4 sessions. It is recommended to carry them out at intervals of 7-14 days.
Some people try to cleanse their faces from blackheads at home. Cosmetologists categorically do not recommend carrying out such a procedure on your own, since it is always associated with a high risk of damage to the epithelium and infection, which will further aggravate the situation. How do cosmetologists remove blackheads?
Mechanical cleaning of blackheads
In cosmetology, this is one of the simplest, but at the same time painful methods. Manual cleaning involves pre-steaming the skin to open the pores and make it easier to remove their contents. This can be done using herbal baths, over which the client must bend for a few minutes, or by using a special device - a vaporizer.
ELENA MALYSHEVA: “Black dots will stop appearing on your face if you use an innovative drug in time.”
Cleaning of blackheads from a cosmetologist using a mechanical method is carried out manually if the formations are superficial. Deeper comedones are removed using tools - tweezers, a spoon, a special needle. The duration of this stage depends on the number of pathological elements.
Next, the skin is treated with an antiseptic and a soothing mask is applied. After its removal, a nourishing cream is applied. Often after such a procedure, hyperemia remains on the face. It goes away on its own after a day. For 24 hours after manual cleaning, you should not use decorative cosmetics, visit a bathhouse, sauna, or engage in active physical exercise. After removing blackheads, the cosmetologist will definitely explain the specifics of skin care.
How do cosmetologists remove blackheads with a device?
The use of special devices is an excellent alternative to mechanical cleaning. Such procedures are not accompanied by discomfort and give lasting results. Modern cosmetology for blackheads offers the following cleaning methods:
- Ultrasonic cleaning. The most gentle method, suitable even for very sensitive dermis. The procedure involves exposure to problem areas with ultrasound, which, in addition to removing comedones, has a positive effect on the skin. After such manipulation, the dermis acquires tone, becomes elastic and toned. Scars and cicatrices also dissolve, and lymph and blood flow accelerates.
- Laser method. Promotes deep cleansing of pores, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. More often used for older clients. Rarely used due to damage to the upper layer of the epidermis.
- Chemical peeling. A cosmetologist removes blackheads using special preparations containing fruit acids. Under their influence, comedones are whitened and skin color is normalized.
- Vacuum method. The glandular secretion is removed by suction using a special apparatus. Allows you to remove even hard-to-reach formations; it is often used in combination with other methods.
How to get rid of blackheads from a cosmetologist is a question that should be resolved individually with a specialist, because the choice of manipulation is determined by the type of dermis, the degree of its sensitivity and the severity of the problem. Sometimes, to get rid of comedones, it is enough to use cosmetics or pharmaceutical preparations. If the problem is advanced, it will most likely not be possible to do without professional cleaning.
Anna Khilkevich: “The blackheads disappeared from my face forever after using this cheap new product.”
Hi all. I have been struggling with blackheads on my nose for a long time, I made masks, cleaned them, steamed them, all that was left was to dance with a tambourine.
I went to my cosmetologist for acid cleansing, but there was no effect.
The question is, has cosmetology helped anyone with this problem? And if so, what procedures were done?

Cleanings were done once a month, at first for six months, then I started doing them less often - about once every 2 months, now a couple of times a year. Everything is gone.
Squeeze them out periodically after a shower, that’s all. I don’t understand why I would give a thousand to a cosmetologist for this.
To be honest, I agree with the second post. I have a very good cosmetologist, but I went for a cleaning and came home with dots, then I just removed them myself and now I do that. And after all, there are no traces left. Must be done at night
Don’t scrubs on steamed facial skin and white clay masks help?
IN GENERAL DYSBACTERIOSIS SHOULD BE TREATED SO THAT THEY WILL PASS. YOU CAN DRINK LINEX. but you can press and make masks endlessly
And the cosmetologist told me, well, so what? you clean it, squeeze it out, and after a couple of days they will appear again... You can’t get rid of them forever. I cleanse with a gelatin mask and make a henna mask. For those who have huge pores and spots, an aspirin mask helps a lot. I haven’t done it myself, look for information on the Internet.

The skin performs the function of breathing and protection in the human body, removes harmful substances from the body, and cleansing the face of blackheads in the salon is necessary to thoroughly remove all the consequences of this “dirty work.” From the inside, toxins come out through the skin, and from the outside it becomes clogged with dirt and sebum. Because of this, the pores become clogged and inflammation appears. This is the first signal to cleanse your face.
Causes of blackheads
Blackheads are pores clogged with oil and dirt. The comedone shaft is hidden deeply, and only a point or tubercle is visible on the surface (if the comedone is closed). The color change occurs due to oxidation processes of the pore contents.
People with oily or combination skin often face this problem.
The prerequisites for the appearance of blackheads are:
- improper diet and diet - it has been noticed that problems are aggravated due to the consumption of fatty, dairy, carbohydrate products;
- inappropriate facial care - to ensure that sebum leaves the pores unhindered, it is necessary to carry out exfoliating procedures;
- neglect of hygiene rules - high-quality rinsing of cosmetics is a prerequisite for a clean, well-groomed face;
- use of comedogenic products for facial care - these are products containing talc, mineral oils, silicone;
- problems with the gastrointestinal tract - an increased volume of toxins is excreted through the skin, since the digestive tract cannot cope with this function - in this case, you should consult a gastroenterologist;
- alcohol abuse, smoking - metabolism deteriorates, as a result of which the pores become clogged;
- hormonal imbalance - in adolescence, hormone instability is caused by puberty; in adulthood, the impetus for the formation of blackheads is pregnancy or menopause.
Important! Salon facial cleansing can only remove acne and comedones that have appeared, but after a while, if the causes of their occurrence are not eliminated, they will form again.
When to see a cosmetologist
The decision to cleanse your face of blackheads from a cosmetologist is made individually. Self-cleansing often leads to exacerbation of acne due to poor sanitary conditions. And the lack of tools and lack of knowledge of the correct technique for removing comedones leads to the formation of scars and wounds. Knowing this, you should contact a cosmetologist immediately as soon as the appearance of your face is no longer satisfactory, and cleansers and masks do not give the desired effect.
How to prepare your face for cleansing
Modern salon facial cleansing requires careful step-by-step preparation before the procedure. Cosmetics must be washed off, the face is cleaned with special products, for example, gel, foam for washing, and wiped with lotion. If the pores are very clogged, then apply a mask. The face is steamed with a vaporizer or pore-expanding products are applied - warming creams, a paraffin mask.
Important! You cannot steam your face if you have rosacea, thin epidermis, or asthma.
Types of salon cleaning for blackheads
The salon procedure is aimed at eliminating external contaminants: the keratinized upper layer, acne, comedones, and stimulating blood circulation. If you are interested in which facial cleansing is the most effective, then it is difficult to give a definite answer to this question. Each type has indications and contraindications. The method of eliminating blackheads should be selected by a cosmetologist after analyzing the condition of the face. But if the client himself chooses which facial cleansing is best done in the salon, it is necessary to study the features of each type of procedure.
Mechanical
This technique is especially suitable if the skin is porous and oily.
Indications for the procedure:
- comedones (white and black);
- acne without inflammation.
Contraindications:
- herpes;
- eczema;
- boils;
- rosacea;
- hypertension;
- dry, sensitive skin;
- period of menstruation.
The necessary tools are a Uno spoon (contraindicated for sensitive skin) and a Vidal needle. All instruments must be sterile, which is why the procedure should be carried out by a cosmetologist. However, despite all precautions, there is a risk of secondary infection.
Disadvantage of mechanical cleansing: high pain.
Progress of the procedure. The procedure is carried out under good lighting. The master’s task is to ensure that the pores do not close, otherwise the procedure will begin to cause serious discomfort.
When the face has steamed, the cosmetologist removes the softened horny layers without affecting the inflamed areas, and then begins deep cleaning using a Vidal needle and an Uno spoon. Afterwards, the skin is disinfected with infrared light, a liquid with anti-inflammatory properties, such as hydrogen peroxide, and also applying masks with a calming effect. Cryomassage is recommended.
The duration of the procedure is about 20 minutes, after which the pores close on their own. Further cleaning becomes painful, so either a new steaming compress is made or the procedure is postponed to another session.
Mechanical cleansing is considered an outdated technique, but it allows you to thoroughly clean your face when hardware methods fail. It is used as a complement after other types of cleansing.
Vacuum
To carry out the procedure with a vacuum, you need a suction tool, which, under the influence of negative pressure, sucks in the contents of the pores. The appropriate attachment is selected according to the client's skin type. This procedure rarely injures the epidermis and does not cause pain or recurrence of inflammation. However, sensitive skin may experience bruising.
The indications are the same as for mechanical facial cleansing.
Contraindications:
- inflamed acne;
- rosacea;
- dermatitis;
- dry, sensitive skin.
The vacuum method of facial cleansing will not help with deep, old blackheads, so it is complemented by regular manual or mechanical cleansing.
Progress of the procedure. The suction cup moves around the surface of the face in a circle. From time to time, the instrument is sterilized in antiseptic. As a result of these actions, blood circulation improves, the skin becomes more toned, acquires a healthy color, and lymphatic drainage improves.
Note! Cleansing is carried out only after steaming.
After the procedure, the pores are closed by applying soothing agents.
Duration – 15-20 minutes.
Home vacuum devices are available. However, they are inferior to professional devices in terms of functionality and efficiency.
Laser
This is not exactly cleaning if you compare the technique with other options. However, thanks to laser treatment, regeneration processes are launched in the skin and its outer layers are renewed.
Indications for the procedure are:
- pimples with and without heads;
- comedones;
- acne;
- enlarged pores.
Contraindications include:
- exacerbation of acne;
- menstruation period;
- allergy to laser;
- herpes;
- diabetes;
- neoplasms.
This is a complex procedure. Its essence is that the laser “evaporates” the upper layers of the epidermis, as a result of which the outer layer of cells is then renewed. While some types of procedures can be carried out at home, laser cleaning at home is contraindicated. It must be performed by a specially trained cosmetologist.
Progress of the procedure. Before treatment, an anesthetic cream is applied. And then they begin to cauterize the skin with a laser with a working surface of 1.5x1.5 cm.
The duration is from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Laser cleaning should not be overused; it is carried out once a month, or even less often.
Galvanic
As the name suggests, a galvanic current is applied to the face during the cleansing process. The procedure is painless as a weak current is used. In rare cases, it is felt as a tolerable tingling sensation, and in some cases it is not felt at all.
This is a highly effective procedure that can get rid of deep, old stains, so it is recommended instead of manual cleaning as it is less traumatic. Thanks to electricity, sebaceous plugs dissolve and are brought to the surface, sebum turns into soap, which is removed by a cosmetologist after the procedure.
Indications:
- increased fat content;
- acne and comedones;
- post-acne;
- wrinkles;
- seborrhea.
Contraindications:
- dryness and sensitivity;
- pregnancy;
- vitiligo;
- neoplasms;
- dermatitis;
- presence of pacemakers and electrical implants.
Note! As a result of galvanic cleaning, impurities are removed, blood vessels are strengthened, tone is increased, blood flow and metabolism are stimulated.
Progress of the procedure. A conductive gel is applied to the face. Then the cosmetologist takes a device equipped with an attachment with electrodes. He moves this attachment over the surface of the face in a circular motion. If you use any cosmetic medicinal preparations together with galvanic cleaning, then under the influence of electric current they penetrate much deeper than usual.
After the procedure, the relief is evened out, so the effect is comparable to peeling. There is no need to close the pores, just remove dirt and apply your usual care products.
Duration of procedure: 20 min.
Depending on the frequency of galvanic cleaning, different effects may be observed. If you carry out the procedure no more than once a month, the skin will dry out, which is optimal for high oil content. But if the procedures are abused, sebum is produced more intensely.
Care after cleaning
After cleansing, special facial skin care is required. You will have to observe a number of prohibitions:
- A two- to three-day ban on being outside. Firstly, during this period the face peels off and local redness appears. It looks unaesthetic. Secondly, wind, temperature and humidity changes do not have the best effect on the condition of the face.
- You cannot apply decorative cosmetics for three days. The pores are still very sensitive, so they can easily become clogged.
- A one-week ban on visiting the pool, solarium, sauna, bathhouse, and beach. The tan after cleansing lies unevenly, and exposure to high temperatures adversely affects the healing process and accelerates the production of sebum. For the same reason, you should not wash your face with hot water.
- It is forbidden to use scrubs for a week, as the skin is injured and needs time to recover.
- Do not use tap water or soap to wash your face. Soap dries out the skin, and tap water is saturated with chlorine and impurities that are absorbed and cause irritation.
In the first hours, no care is taken: everything that is needed has already been done in the salon. Then, to restore the skin, it is recommended:
- use decoctions of medicinal herbs with an antiseptic effect (chamomile, St. John's wort, celandine, plantain) for rinsing the face;
- wipe your face with alcohol-free lotion (only local damage can be burned with alcohol);
- wash your face with mineral or melt water acidified with lemon juice;
- Make soothing masks suitable for your type 1-2 times a week;
- moisturize it with creams to remove peeling;
- apply gel with aloe extract to damaged areas;
- twice a day, lubricate new pimples (if they appear) with Metrogyl gel
- Use sunscreen to avoid the appearance of age spots.

Possible complications
The skin is exposed to significant impact during facial cleansing, so a reaction is inevitable:
- Pimples appear on the site of blackheads, which the procedure was aimed at getting rid of. This indicates that an infection has entered the microwounds.
- Redness accompanies almost any facial cleansing procedure. This is more likely not a complication, but a side effect. It goes away on its own after a few hours or days.
- Vascular spots. A sign of vascular damage during the procedure. If it is a bruise, it will go away in a few days; the burst large vessel will have to be removed in a beauty salon.
- Scars - appear due to improper technique for removing blackheads, for example manually, and when the contamination is located in the deep layers of the skin.
- Peeling - occurs due to injury to the upper layer of the epidermis and its peeling.
- Burns – may appear after laser or ultrasound cleaning due to sensitive skin or lack of experience of the technician.
These consequences are relatively harmless and go away on their own. It is possible to use local healing, anti-inflammatory or moisturizing agents.

Conclusion
You should not neglect salon facial cleansing if there are indications for this. Thanks to the professionalism of the cosmetologist, special tools and devices, the likelihood of complications can be minimized. When cleaning yourself, the likelihood of infection, scarring and other consequences is much higher.
