✨ Let’s talk EXTRACTIONS (with intention, not force) ✨
Not all acne is meant to be touched—and knowing the difference is skin wisdom. 👇🏽
✅ SAFE TO EXTRACT (when done professionally):
• Blackheads (open comedones)
• Mature whiteheads (closed comedones)
• Milia
• Congested pores / sebaceous filaments
🚫 HANDS OFF ACNE:
• Red, inflamed bumps
• Pustules
• Cystic or nodular acne
• Hormonal breakouts
PRO TIP: Focus on calming down the inflammation by way of cool compress , ice roller/ globe ,or ice 🧊. Make sure to gently circulate around inflamed areas for 2-5 months a day .
💡 Skin truth:
If it’s red, painful, or deep—pressure is not the answer.
Inflammation + force = barrier damage, pigmentation, and scars.
Healthy skin isn’t rushed.
It’s respected.
It’s prepared.
✨ Extractions are earned through barrier repair and balance—not aggression.
At Bird of Paradise Skin, extractions are never one-size-fits-all. ✨
We specialize in multiple extraction methods, intentionally chosen to match your skin type, barrier condition, and current concern—because skin deserves strategy, not force.
Every pore tells a story.
Every extraction has a purpose.
And inflammation is always respected.
This is where technique meets intuition.
This is how skin heals.
