Dermatology ClinicBlackheads Treatment in Busan, Korea Professional cleansing and extraction for clogged pores, without squeezing damage
At JRYN Seomyeon, blackheads are cleared with Aqua Peel (₩50,000) or the fuller Pore Care program (₩150,000) . No downtime, so it fits easily into a trip.
How do you get rid of blackheads?
Blackheads are pores plugged with oil and dead skin; the top turns dark when it meets air, so it is not dirt. The quickest way to clear them is a professional deep cleanse that softens the plug and lifts it out gently, followed by regular exfoliation and oil control at home so they do not refill as fast.
At JRYN Seomyeon, Aqua Peel is ₩50,000 for a three-step cleanse, extraction and soothe. The Pore Care program is ₩150,000 and adds Aqua Jet, LED, steam, a lotion and a pack. HydraFacial starts at ₩110,000 (2 Step). Your doctor suggests which one suits your skin.

Keep blackheads away at home
Do not squeeze
Squeezing pushes debris deeper and can leave marks or scars. Leave extraction to the clinic.
Exfoliate gently
A leave-on BHA (salicylic acid) a few times a week helps keep pores clear. Avoid harsh scrubs.
Cleanse at night
Remove sunscreen and makeup fully, especially on the nose and chin.
Choose light products
Look for non-comedogenic moisturisers and sunscreens.
Skip pore strips
They pull the top off the plug and can irritate skin without clearing the pore.
Book regular cleanses
Blackheads refill naturally. A routine visit keeps them under control.

Blackheads Treatment FAQ
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp and we will answer in English.
How much does blackhead removal cost in Busan?
At JRYN Seomyeon, Aqua Peel is ₩50,000, HydraFacial starts at ₩110,000 (2 Step) and the six-step Pore Care program is ₩150,000. Your doctor recommends one after checking your skin.
Is professional blackhead extraction better than doing it at home?
Yes. In clinic, pores are softened first and cleared gently, which lowers the risk of inflammation and scarring. Squeezing at home tends to push debris deeper and can leave marks.
Why do my blackheads keep coming back?
Your skin keeps making oil and shedding cells, so pores slowly refill. Regular cleansing sessions, gentle exfoliation and light, non-comedogenic products slow this down.
Are the dots on my nose blackheads?
Not always. Evenly spaced grey or beige dots are often sebaceous filaments, which are a normal part of the pore. A cleanse makes them less visible, but they refill naturally.
Is there downtime after blackhead treatment?
No. After Aqua Peel, the Pore Care program or HydraFacial you can usually wear makeup and go out the same day. Mild pinkness, if any, fades quickly.
How often should I get my blackheads treated?
It depends on how oily your skin is. Many people repeat a cleanse every few weeks. Your doctor can suggest a schedule.
Can blackheads turn into acne?
Blackheads themselves are not inflamed, but clogged pores can become red, inflamed spots. If you also have active acne, see our acne treatments.
