Acne extraction procedures carry certain risks. It is advisable to seek treatment at a reputable hospital under the care of an experienced physician, which minimizes bodily harm—often to a negligible degree. For acne scars, various instruments can be applied directly to the skin to effectively reduce or eliminate post-acne marks while minimizing skin damage. After the procedure, avoid contact with water at the treatment site and refrain from consuming spicy or irritating foods.
