ImplementationThis section has been translated automatically.
Comedones are best squeezed out after the application of face masks and steam baths. Closed comedones are incised with a small calibre cannula or fine lancet and carefully squeezed out from below. Open comedones can be expressed directly. The acne toilet should be carried out by a doctor or an experienced beautician to avoid a wrong technique and associated inflammatory tissue reactions.
