Post-Extraction Skincare: What You Must Not Forget

Through many in-depth conversations with our clients about caring for acne-prone skin, Lunaria has noticed that many of you have worries and doubts about how to care for your skin after extractions. So Lunaria would like to share a few small tips on what to do and what to avoid, so that your skin's recovery after extractions is no longer a worry.

Why are extractions necessary?

Extractions are a physical treatment applied to areas of skin with inflamed, swollen lesions or built-up sebum, with the aim of completely clearing out the "P. acnes bacteria pocket".

Completely removing the acne plug down to its root is the key priority during extractions. The recovery process that follows depends on how carefully you care for your skin at home.

This is when the skin is at its most sensitive and, without proper care, can easily develop other problems such as post-acne marks, pitted scars, new clogged pores and more.

Does Lunaria Skin Lab treat acne?

As a Dermatology Clinic, we naturally offer acne treatment for every cause (including acne caused by taking antibiotics)

Acne is a common skin problem that often lingers if not treated properly, and can even lead to other skin issues such as dermatitis, breakouts, pitted scars and post-acne marks.

Extraction is a basic technique, but it requires in-depth knowledge of acne types and skin structure to thoroughly "eliminate" the root of the acne without leaving scars or dark marks.

At Lunaria, our skin specialists use a manual extraction method developed by the International Dermal Institute (IDI).

And here's a little secret: this is the very technique used in clinics by world-renowned cosmeceutical brands such as Dermalogica and Valmont.

Most importantly, you should break the habit of squeezing pimples at home. It lets bacteria get in and spread to surrounding areas, causing more severe inflammation or accidentally creating more bumps and dark marks from applying the wrong pressure.

WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND AFTER EXTRACTIONS

CLEAR SKIN BEATS FAIR SKIN

After all the ups and downs, everyone eventually comes back to what is most natural and authentic. That is why having bare skin that is dewy and naturally even-toned, rather than layer upon layer of makeup and concealer, is something to be proud of.

Fair skin and sun-kissed skin are equally beautiful, as long as your skin isn't "suffering" from skin problems, especially acne.

Lunaria's approach to treatment and skincare always aims for lasting results: healthy skin first, beautiful skin second, with no "shortcuts" or forcing the process to go faster.

That is why Lunaria's personalized treatment plans always prioritize restoring the skin's structure for a healthy, clear, even-toned complexion. You don't need an elaborate skincare routine; instead, nourish
