Clearer pores. Calmer skin.
A precise, clinical approach to clearing blackheads, comedones and stubborn congestion—completed with Healite LED Light Therapy to calm the skin and support post-treatment recovery.
The Lafont Advanced Skin Clinic difference. A more considered approach to extractions.
Your skin is carefully assessed to identify the type, depth and cause of congestion before treatment begins.
Blackheads, milia and stubborn blockages are individually extracted using controlled clinical techniques.
Careful skin preparation and precise pressure help minimise unnecessary inflammation, marking and damage.
Healite LED Light Therapy is included to calm visible redness and support the skin’s natural recovery process.
Blackheads
Open pores containing compacted oil and dead skin cells that appear dark at the surface.
Closed Comedones
Small, skin-coloured bumps caused by oil and dead skin becoming trapped beneath the pore opening.
Milia
Firm, pearl-like keratin deposits that sit beneath the skin and often require precise professional removal.
Sebaceous Filaments
Often visible across the nose and chin, their appearance can be temporarily reduced, but they will naturally refill over time.
A Complete Approach to Congested Skin
Laser
Needle-free technology that delivers acne-fighting actives deep into the skin for fast, visible results — without the sting.
Healite LED Light Therapy
Calms inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and speeds up healing with advanced LED wavelengths.
Chemical Peels
Unclog pores, lift dead skin, and reduce breakouts while boosting overall skin clarity and smoothness.
Microneedling
Stimulates collagen to fade acne scars, refine texture, and calm redness for stronger, clearer skin.
My skin felt instantly clearer.
I couldn’t believe how much congestion was cleared during one treatment. Everything was explained as we went, and the extractions felt careful and controlled rather than harsh. My skin was slightly pink afterwards, but the Healite LED was incredibly calming and it settled much faster than I expected. By the next day, my skin looked clearer, smoother and far less congested.
Clinical Extractions: Your Questions Answered
What can be extracted?
Clinical extractions are most suitable for blackheads, closed comedones and compacted superficial congestion. Every lesion is assessed individually, and we will only extract what can be treated safely without forcing or unnecessarily damaging the surrounding skin.
Can you extract inflamed or cystic acne?
Deep, inflamed or cystic lesions are generally not suitable for manual extraction. Applying pressure to these lesions may increase inflammation and the risk of pigmentation or scarring. We may recommend a Clinical Skin Assessment or an alternative treatment plan instead.
What happens in a treatment- will I leave red or raw?
Not unless that’s the goal. Every treatment is tailored to your skinon the day. That means we always factor in barrier health, sensitivity, your lifestyle (e.g. if you're heading to an event), and your long-term plan. Some treatments have zero downtime. Others- like microneedling or clinical peels can involve redness or peeling. But you’ll always know exactly what to expect, and your post-care is mapped out for you.
Will my skin be red afterwards?
Some temporary redness, sensitivity and small localised marks are normal following extractions. The amount of redness depends on the depth and extent of the congestion treated. Every appointment includes Healite LED Light Therapy to calm the skin and support post-treatment recovery.
Why is Healite LED included?
Healite LED Light Therapy is performed after the extractions to calm visible redness and support the skin’s natural recovery processes. It completes the treatment with a dedicated recovery step after the skin has been manually treated.
How often should I book clinical extractions?
Treatment frequency varies according to your skin, the severity of the congestion and how quickly new blockages develop. Some clients need a single targeted treatment, while recurring congestion may require regular appointments alongside appropriate home care.
Will extractions stop the congestion from returning?
Extractions remove suitable congestion that is already present, but they do not prevent new blockages from forming. Consistent home care and an appropriate treatment plan can help manage the factors contributing to recurring blackheads and comedones.
