Cosmetic surgery vs professional facial to get rid of blackheads?

Microdermabrasion: There is no surgical procedures to get rid of black heads. Microdermabrasion with negative suction for example, silkpeel is very effective and using tretinoin is very important to suppress oil gland activity.

Skin care: Every individual has a unique problem when it comes to facial skin. Mere blackheads may get a nice headstart from a quality facial, but long term results are best achieved with a prescription grade skin care line such as obagi clenziderm, skinceuticals, etc. Plastic surgery is best reserved for scarring resulting from cystic acne.

Exfoliate!: A gentle soap such as cetaphil with vigorous facecloth washing with warm water twice daily followed by acnecare daytime which is 5% benzoyl peroxide should remove the dead surface cells that block pores causing blackheads.

Facial first: Get a facial first but medications such as retinoids or salicylic acid may be beneficial to diminish recurrences. For this, seek the advice of a dermatologist.

Isolaz for blackhead: I agree that getting a facial is a great start to improving black heads. A deep pore cleansing facial or similar is beneficial. Refining your daily skin care regimen to include the clarisonic cleansing brush, a tretinoin or retinol product is a plus. Many patients love the instant gratification of the isolaz device, which combines broadband light with vacuum to extract debris from pores.
