How painful is it?
Acne Extraction
Pain Level: 6–9/10
Depending on the type and location of the pimple, this can really sting—some say it’s tear-worthy
Cortisone Injection for Acne
Pain Level: 3/10
Not as painful as extractions since it doesn’t involve squeezing—more of a quick prick to calm inflammation.
Acne Facial / Deep Cleansing Facial
Pain Level: 1/10
Just a mild tingling or cooling sensation depending on your skin. Super gentle!

Acne Got You Down? Here's How to Handle It Like a Pro!
Let’s break it down! When it comes to managing acne that’s already popped up, there are 3 basic go-to treatments you’ll hear about in any clinic:
•
Acne Extractions
•
Anti-inflammatory Injections (Cortisone Injection for Acne)
•
Acne Facial / Deep Cleansing Facial (Acne Scaling)
Each one works differently depending on your skin and acne type—so let’s walk through them together!
#1 — You spot a juicy yellow pimple that needs to go... ASAP!
“Ugh, this one’s just asking to be popped!”
What you need: Acne Extractions
•
This is where a pro uses a tiny needle to create a small opening and gently remove the pus and gunk before it gets worse.
•
Done correctly, it helps prevent scarring and stops inflammation from spreading. Just don’t DIY it, okay?
Pain Level: 6–9/10
(Yeah… it can sting a bit. But you’ll live )
) #2 — You wake up with a big, red, angry bump… and it hurts!
“Even touching it is painful. No way I’m squeezing this.”
What you need: Anti-inflammatory Injection•
If your acne is swollen, painful, and deep under the skin, this quick shot helps calm it down fast.
•
It’s perfect if you’ve got an event coming up or need a photo-ready face in a pinch
Pain Level: 3/10(Easier than extraction, promise!)
#3 — Your skin’s been acting up and you want a gentle refresh...
“Nothing too intense, just want a clean, calm base.”
What you need: Acne Scaling•
Think of it like a dental cleaning—but for your face!
•
A gentle peel is applied to remove dead skin and unclog pores.
•
Great for whiteheads, dullness, or that “I just want my skin to breathe” feeling.
Pain Level: 1/10(Refreshing with just a tiny tingle!)

Acne FAQs You’ve Definitely Thought About
Can I just pop my pimples at home?
We get it. It’s tempting. But unless you’re trained, you might cause more harm than good. Improper extractions can lead to scarring or spreading the infection. Just don’t risk it—let the pros handle it.
Are acne injections safe to get often?
The injections use a small amount of steroid. It’s generally safe short-term, but getting them repeatedly in the same spot could cause slight indentations over time. If the same pimple keeps coming back, treatments like Agnes might be better!
Will regular acne scaling make my skin more sensitive?
Nope! Scaling removes dead skin and helps keep your pores clear. While you might feel a little sensitive right after, it doesn’t thin your skin permanently. If you're worried, you can always space treatments out more.
Have you made up your mind?
