Dermatology ClinicAcne Extractions in Busan, Korea Professional clearing of blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores
Squeezing at home pushes debris deeper and leaves marks. At JRYN Seomyeon, extraction is done in a clinical setting as part of a deep-cleansing program, with the price confirmed before you start .
What are acne extractions, and are they safe?
Acne extractions are the professional removal of trapped oil, dead skin and debris from clogged pores, such as blackheads (open comedones) and whiteheads (closed comedones). Done after the skin is softened and cleansed, with clean technique, they clear congestion with far less risk of marks and infection than squeezing at home. They are not suitable for deep, painful cysts, which need a different approach.
At JRYN Seomyeon, extraction is part of cleansing care such as Aqua Peel (₩50,000) , whose steps include cleansing, extraction and soothing, and the complete Pore Care program (₩150,000) . Dr. Kim checks your skin first and advises whether extraction alone is enough or your acne needs medical treatment.

Acne Extractions FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much do acne extractions cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, extraction is included in cleansing programs: Aqua Peel is ₩50,000, HydraFacial 2 Step is ₩110,000 and the complete Pore Care program is ₩150,000. Your doctor confirms which one suits your skin and the total before you start.
Are professional extractions better than squeezing at home?
Yes. At home it is easy to push debris deeper, tear the skin and leave red or brown marks. In clinic the skin is softened first, clean technique is used, and deep lesions are left alone or treated another way.
Do extractions hurt?
You may feel pressure and brief stinging, especially on the nose. It is usually very tolerable, and softening the skin first makes it more comfortable.
Is there redness or downtime afterwards?
Some temporary redness is common and usually fades within hours to a day. Most people go straight back to their plans. Skip heavy makeup and strong actives for the rest of the day.
Will extractions stop my acne?
They clear existing congestion, but they do not fix the causes of acne such as hormones, oil production or bacteria. If you keep breaking out, the doctor may suggest acne treatment alongside cleansing care.
How often should I have extractions?
Many people repeat cleansing care every few weeks while their pores are congested, then less often for maintenance. Over-frequent extraction can irritate the skin, so follow your doctor's advice.
Can cystic acne be extracted?
Deep cysts and nodules should not be squeezed, because that can spread inflammation and cause scarring. These need medical acne treatment, which the doctor will discuss with you.
