Is Comedone Treatment Safe?

What is Comedone?

Although the word comedone sounds foreign to many people, it is actually one of the most common skin problems in society.

Comedone problem; It can be defined as blisters on the skin and small glands filled with pus. There are two types of comedones. These; open comedone and closed comedone.

Open comedone; These are pores filled with open ends, also known as blackheads. These pores need to be emptied at regular intervals. Otherwise, these pores will expand due to the dirt accumulated inside and become prone to inflammation because their ends are open. When these pores become inflamed, problems that we call acne occur, and the treatment of acne is a much more difficult and longer process than the treatment of comedones.

The second type of comedone is the problem we call closed comedone. Closed comedones sometimes go unnoticed if they are not looked at carefully. Because closed comedones grow under the skin until they grow and become visible. In these comedones, that is, closed comedones, in this skin problem, there are bumps on the skin that resemble oil glands.

Those bumps cannot be removed by squeezing or using any other means, because they are closed and appear as white dots. Comedone treatments are procedures that must be performed by a specialist. Because when it is not done correctly, it can leave scars on the skin and these scars can create obstacles to a person’s healthy appearance.

Skin considered healthy is uniform in color and spotless. However, comedone treatments that are not done correctly or comedone treatments done unconsciously at home can cause many scars on the skin surface. Comedone treatments can be done with combined applications or with individual, single applications. Which application and how much to use is decided according to the comedone problem experienced.

For example, in the case of white comedones, Q Switch Laser and Carbon Peeling applications are generally used. However, if there are black spots, which we call open comedones, most of the time, correctly applied Hydrafacial or otherwise known as Hollywood skin care is sufficient for the treatment of comedones.

It is largely possible to prevent comedone formation with regular professional skin care. However, if the person’s skin structure is prone to comedone formation, especially white comedone formation, which we call closed comedones, then regular care may not provide preventive treatment.

In addition, applications that give brightness and vitality to the skin, also known as Baby Face Beauty, thanks to the Thulium laser, are one of the procedures we frequently use in the treatment of comedones.

Hydrafacial, Q Switch Laser, Baby Face Beauty and Carbon Peeling are the applications we frequently use in comedone treatments, but each application has its own advantages.

Comedone treatments are generally procedures that involve evacuating the skin bump that forms the comedone. For example, black spots, which we call open comedones, are drained with special procedures without damaging the pores. In this way, the skin pores are opened, the skin begins to breathe and the skin is given the nutrients it needs, helping the skin to gain a healthier appearance.

In closed comedones, it is also possible to empty the inside of the pore, but since closed comedones are a kind of oil glands, soft applications such as Hydrafacial are generally not sufficient for these comedones. For this reason, Q Switch laser applications and Baby Face Beauty applications are mostly used for closed comedones.

Since comedone-prone skin already has structures that are prone to various skin deformations, comedone treatments must be planned carefully and the right applications must be selected, taking into account the person’s skin structures. However, it is known that improper comedone treatments cause more scars and damage to people’s skin.

For this reason, when planning comedone treatment, it is important to obtain information from the person on many issues, from his/her vital habits to his/her diet, skin structure, and the products he/she uses, and to be informed with the necessary instructions after the procedure in line with the person’s vital habits. In order for successful treatments to be possible, whether it is comedone treatment or another non-surgical aesthetic application, both the specialist performing the procedure and the people performing the procedure must work in a coordinated manner.

For example, since the skin pores will be open after comedone treatment, people should, if possible, avoid environments where there is a lot of smoking in the first few days following the procedure, and avoid using products that may harm their skin or are known to be of low quality.
