Extractions are performed to unclog pores and smooth bumpy skin caused by whiteheads and blackheads. Regular extractions are important in breaking the cycle of acne and improving the appearance of your skin.

After the skin is cleansed and prepped, extractions are performed with a professional grade extraction tool and/or cotton tipped applicators. Tolerance to this procedure depends on the individual. For maximum results extractions should be performed monthly.

We are the acne experts! Here at the Scripps Ranch Dermatology and Cosmetic Center you will receive a high quality extraction treatment by our registered nurse or physician and not an esthetician, like other offices.
