There are several methods for removing blackheads from the nose; below are some common and effective approaches: - **Blackhead Strips**: These adhesive strips are applied directly to the blackhead-prone areas of the nose. Through their adsorptive action, they extract blackheads and impurities from the pores, effectively removing blackheads. Prices typically range from ¥20 to ¥50. - **Nano-Bubble Vacuum Cleansing Devices**: These devices combine nano-bubble water with nutrient solutions and utilize vacuum negative pressure to clear dirt and excess sebum from pores while simultaneously delivering nourishment to the skin—effectively eliminating blackheads. Prices range from ¥2,000 to ¥4,000. - **Laser Treatment**: Based on photothermal principles, laser therapy rapidly fragments pigment particles beneath the skin and enhances pore permeability to remove blackheads. Results are usually visible within 5–7 days, with treatment costs ranging approximately from ¥3,000 to ¥6,000. - **At-Home Care Methods**: These include massaging the nose with cleansing oil, using homemade rice-ball exfoliation, or cleaning with a baking soda–water mixture.
