Should blackheads be removed?

Yes. If blackheads bother you or your pores remain visibly clogged, professional removal can be a suitable option. The skin should be cleansed in a controlled and gentle way. Blackheads can also occur as part of acne-prone skin. A medical review reports that acne affects around 85% of people aged 12 to 24 worldwide. If inflammatory changes are present, a dermatological assessment is recommended. Source: JAMA – Management of Acne Vulgaris: A Review.

Do blackheads come back after treatment?

Yes. New blackheads can form because the skin continues to produce sebum and shed dead skin cells. Professional cleansing removes existing buildup but does not permanently change these natural processes. For blackhead-prone skin, 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-coloured bumps. Both forms are caused by clogged pores and can be assessed 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 more suitable depends on your current skin condition.

Is cleansing useful for oily skin?

Yes. Regular professional cleansing can be useful for oily and combination skin because increased sebum production can cause pores to become clogged more quickly. Between treatments, gentle cleansing and non-comedogenic skincare can support clearer-looking pores, while aggressive exfoliation and frequent squeezing may irritate the skin.

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.

Professional cleansing removes sebum, dead skin cells and buildup from the pores. This helps the skin look cleaner and more even.

Clogged pores and visible blackheads can already appear reduced after one treatment. The T-zone in particular often looks fresher and more refined.

Professional extraction is performed in a controlled and skin-friendly way. This helps avoid unnecessary pressure on the skin and reduces the risk of additional irritation.

Not every type of blemish-prone skin needs the same treatment. That is why we adapt the cleansing method, intensity and active ingredients to your skin condition and Skincare Goals.

Clearer pores start here – with your personalised blackhead treatment at AFACIAL Vienna.

3 Steps to Clearer Pores

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.

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.

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.
