Should You Pop Your Pimples?

There is a question frequently asked by customers who get acne care facial at our clinic.

They wonder if they can extract acnes at home. So, can you pop those annoying pimples that just keep coming back again and again?

As for acne and pimple extraction, it is recommended to seek professional help.

If you squeeze your acnes at home, there is a high risk of infection. Infection can make your skin condition worse than it was before the pimple extraction.

Moreover, sterile needles should be used when extracting pimples to prevent skin damage. When popping pimples at home, there is a risk of infection or scarring because you may not know how to sterilize a needle properly.

Especially, it is advisable to get the treatment from a skincare specialist if your acnes are large and red or have appeared for only 1-2 days.
