Infected blackhead removal can be simple with the following treatment methods:-

Regular exfoliation and cleansing is an obvious approach for an acne-free body and face. Cleanse with soaps that include plant-based ingredients like olive oil. Before cleansing your face one must consult a dermatologist, to know about which skin product is useful for it.

Eat a high protein diet rich in probiotics, fiber, omega-3, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C. A poor diet and blackheads are directly linked, because a healthy diet is essential for reducing inflammation and promoting overall good health.

Use non-comedogenic products that do not clog pores instead should keep the pores clear and open and reduce the buildup of dead skin. If still there is confusion while selecting cosmetic, you must consult a dermatologist.

Depending on the underlying cause of your blackheads, our dermatologist Dr. Sahil Mrigpuri will recommend laser or light therapy for blackhead removal and white head treatment. Both the laser and light beams penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and regulate the natural oil production. Even bacteria are killed by these beams preventing infections from developing in the pores. When compared to the other treatment methods, this method works in the lower layers of the skin without damaging the top layers.

This cosmetic treatment utilizes a piece of equipment with a rough surface with which the top layers of the skin are ‘sanded’ or scraped. As these layers get rubbed away, the blackheads are unplugged and removed.

Chemical peels are formulated with naturally occurring acids. An acid solution of an appropriate strength (or concentration) is applied on the skin, and this exfoliates the skin thoroughly. Exfoliation cleanses the pores and gets rid of blackheads. Many times, the chemical peel is followed up with manual extraction of remaining comedones.

Our Dermatologists will prescribe medications for acne and remove blackheads and white heads with with LASER. These are usually topical medications that most commonly belong to the retinoid family. At times, internal medication like antibiotics is also prescribed. Face washes and cleansers are also given.

Post acne marks and post acne pigmentation and scars are also treated after completing the treatment regimen.
