Real results. No filters!

Problem
Blackheads, clogged pores and excess sebum can make the skin look uneven. The nose, forehead and chin are most commonly affected.
Solution
A professional deep cleansing removes buildup and excess sebum from the pores. Depending on your skin, HydraFacial or classic cleansing may be recommended.
Sessions
One treatment can already make pores look clearer. For blackhead-prone skin, we often recommend treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.

How Does Blackhead Removal at AFACIAL Work?

3 steps to clearer pores

  1. Afacialist examining skin under a ring light - analysis before blackhead removal in Vienna

    Skin Analysis & Treatment Plan

    Our skin expert assesses your current skin condition, clogged pores and personal Skincare Goals. We then select the cleansing treatment that best suits your skin and needs.

  2. Extraction handpiece on the nose - blackhead removal in Vienna

    Deep Pore Cleansing

    The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for extraction. Depending on the treatment, sebum, dead skin cells and buildup are gently removed manually or with vacuum technology. This helps clear clogged pores, reduce visible blackheads and leave the skin looking smoother and more refined.

  3. Hand holding an SPF skincare product - aftercare after blackhead removal in Vienna

    Calming care, active ingredients & SPF

    To finish, your skin receives soothing care, suitable active ingredients and sun protection. You also receive recommendations for home care and the ideal interval between cleansing treatments.

What Are Blackheads and Why Is Professional Removal Worth It?

Blackheads, also known as comedones, form when sebum and dead skin cells clog the pores. They most commonly appear on the nose, forehead and chin, but can also affect the back and chest. Open and closed comedones can look different, but both are caused by buildup inside the pores.

At AFACIAL, we remove blackheads with professional facial cleansing or HydraFacial, depending on your skin condition. The treatment helps clear buildup from the pores and supports a fresher, more even complexion. In cases of active inflammatory acne, we recommend a dermatological assessment first.

Three stages against blackheads

  1. Soften

    A peel and warmth soften hardened sebum inside the pores.

  2. Extract

    Congested pores are emptied professionally and gently.

  3. Protect

    Calming care and SPF keep pores clear for longer.

Four benefits of blackhead removal

  • Deep cleanse

    Sebum and buildup gently lifted

  • Clarity

    Visibly clearer, more even skin

  • Gentle

    Controlled instead of squeezing

  • Tailored

    Matched to your skin condition

Questions About Blackhead Removal: Our Expertise for Your Skin

Should Blackheads Be Removed?

Yes, if blackheads bother you or your pores remain visibly clogged, professional removal can be a good option. The key is to cleanse the skin in a controlled and gentle way.

Blackheads can also be part of acne-prone skin. A medical review reports that acne affects around 85% of people aged 12 to 24 worldwide. If there are inflammatory changes, a dermatological assessment is recommended to determine the right treatment.

Do Blackheads Come Back After Treatment?

Yes, new blackheads can form because your skin continues to produce sebum and shed dead skin cells. Professional cleansing removes existing buildup but does not permanently change these natural processes.

For skin that is prone to blackheads, regular treatments every 4 to 6 weeks can help keep pores clearer over time.

What Is the Difference Between Open and Closed Comedones?

Open comedones are visible at the skin surface and appear dark due to oxidation of the material inside the pore. Closed comedones remain beneath a thin layer of skin and usually appear as small, light-colored bumps.

Both forms are caused by clogged pores and can be assessed and treated during a professional cleansing treatment.

What Works Better: HydraFacial or a Classic Deep Cleansing?

HydraFacial combines cleansing, exfoliation, vacuum extraction and hydration in one treatment. It is particularly suitable for blackheads, clogged pores and dull-looking skin without active inflammatory acne.

A classic deep cleansing is a proven alternative for regular pore care. Which option is better depends on your current skin condition.

Is Cleansing Useful for Oily Skin?

Yes, regular professional cleansing can be useful for oily and combination skin. Increased sebum production can cause pores to become clogged more quickly.

Between treatments, we recommend a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic skincare. Aggressive exfoliation and frequent squeezing can irritate the skin further.
