Blackheads
Blackheads are a type of acne (acne vulgaris). They're open bumps on the skin that fill with excess oil and dead skin.
Blackheads form when a hair follicle in the skin becomes clogged or plugged. Dead skin cells and excess oil collect in the follicle's opening, which produces a bump. If the skin over the bump opens, the air exposure causes the plug to look black, thus forming a blackhead.
Treatments for Blackheads
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion can be an effective cosmetic treatment for those suffering from mild acne breakouts. The exfoliation treatment minimizes the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads, creating a smoother look on the skin's surface.
Facial/Skin Peel
Facial Peels exfoliates and removes the outer layer of dead skin cells to help keep skin from getting dull and give it an extra boost.
