While all pimples are no fun, blackheads can be some of the most annoying to deal with: They are abundant, hard to hide, and just keep coming back. And with "maskne" on the rise, blackheads seem to be popping up even more lately. But before you get your fingers in position to squeeze, step away from the mirror and keep reading. A Dermal Infusion treatment might just be what you need!
Blackheads, medically known as open comedones, are pores that have become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. When this oily mixture comes into contact with air, it oxidizes, turning dark or black in color. While blackheads can look like dirt trapped inside the pores, they actually have nothing to do with cleanliness.
Blackheads are typically one of the first signs of acne. The key difference between blackheads and whiteheads is that blackheads occur in open pores, while whiteheads occur in closed pores. This means blackheads are exposed to the air, causing them to oxidize and appear darker, whereas whiteheads are sealed under a thin layer of skin.
Blackheads have several potential causes, many of which are related to hormonal changes and excess oil production. One of the most common times to experience blackheads is during puberty, when hormones are fluctuating and oil glands become more active. Hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, or conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can also lead to blackheads due to an increase in androgen production.
Other contributing factors to blackhead formation include:
If you’re unsure about your skin type, it’s always a good idea to undergo a digital skin analysis to determine the right products and treatments for your skin.
A Dermal Infusion treatment uses an advanced hydrodermabrasion technology that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of active ingredients all in one session. The treatment starts with a diamond-tip device that gently exfoliates the surface layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities. This helps to unblock pores and allows the infusion of treatment serums into the skin.
The vacuum technology in the Dermal Infusion device helps to clear out any debris or oil from inside the pores, while the specially formulated pore-clarifying serums work to deeply cleanse and treat the skin. These serums contain a combination of acids that help unclog pores, reduce excess oil production, and promote healthy cell turnover.
There is an immediate improvement in skin texture, and over time, you will notice a reduction in blackheads, smoother skin, and a brighter complexion. The active ingredients continue to work below the surface, ensuring that your pores stay clean and clear long after the treatment.
If you’ve been struggling with blackheads that just won’t go away, or if you’re dealing with clogged pores that lead to regular breakouts, a Dermal Infusion treatment could be the perfect solution. It is also ideal for individuals looking to improve overall skin texture, even out tone, and achieve a radiant complexion.
