Blackheads, milia and clogged pore treatment
Blackheads, milia (small white bumps) and clogged pores dull the skin and make texture rough. They often resist home treatment and can get worse with squeezing.

How we treat it
We clear congestion without trauma. Ultrasonic extractions lift blackheads, Lamprobe removes milia precisely, and carbon peels, skin peels and microdermabrasion keep pores clear.
