BLACKHEAD REMOVAL GLASGOW – DEEP PORES, CLEAN RESULTS
Blackheads are open comedones caused by oil, dead skin cells and debris oxidising in clogged pores - common, stubborn and often hard to shift with over‑the‑counter skincare.
The most effective - and only truly reliable - method for removing blackheads and milia is manual extraction. This technique allows precise removal of impurities while minimising trauma to the skin when performed correctly.
At Esteem Beauty, we offer expert blackhead removal in Glasgow, using professional extraction techniques and skincare protocols designed to deeply cleanse, unclog pores and restore a clearer complexion in a safe, hygienic environment.
WHAT IS BLACKHEAD REMOVAL?
At Esteem Beauty, blackhead, milia and cyst extraction is performed using safe, controlled professional manual squeezing techniques, following thorough and careful skin preparation. The skin is deeply cleansed, sterilised and gently softened to allow congestion to be released effectively without damaging the surrounding tissue.
While many descriptions suggest that blackheads should only be removed with tools, the most effective and precise method of removal is controlled professional squeezing performed by a trained skin specialist. When the skin is prepared correctly and the pressure is applied accurately, this technique allows the blockage to be released cleanly from the pore, reducing the risk of trauma, scarring and further inflammation.
The key element of a blackhead and whitehead removal treatment is a thorough skin assessment. Before any extraction, the skin specialist Kasia evaluates the skin type and identifies the specific lesions present - whether they are cysts, milia, milia around the eyes, or other congestion. Even stubborn milia in delicate areas can be safely removed when performed by our trained professional.
Our experienced skin expert Kasia , is able to remove blackheads, whiteheads, milia and cystic congestion even from the most delicate and awkward areas of the face, including around the eyes, inside the ears, along the nose and in tight facial contours. These are areas where poor technique can easily cause damage, which is why professional training and precision are essential.
Whether your skin struggles with oily congestion, frequent blackheads, or poor pore visibility, a professional extraction can make a real difference - leaving skin smoother, clearer and ready for maintenance.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BLACKHEAD REMOVAL AT ESTEEM BEAUTY
Our blackhead removal treatment is designed to be effective, hygienic, and tailored to your skin’s needs - delivered with precision in a calm, professional setting. This treatment is carried out exclusively by a qualified skin specialist, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Your treatment begins with a short consultation to assess your skin condition, identify the areas of congestion, and confirm the most suitable approach. Kasia will explain the process and offer advice on how to care for your skin afterwards.
THE TREATMENT
After gently cleansing the skin, we prepare the area using warm towels or softening solutions to help loosen blocked pores. Using sterile tools and techniques, blackheads are carefully extracted without causing trauma to the surrounding skin.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
Following extraction, the skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, which usually settles within a few hours. A calming product may be applied post-treatment to soothe and protect the skin. You’ll also receive aftercare guidance to help minimise future breakouts.
VISIBILE RESULTS
Your skin will feel noticeably clearer, smoother, and cleaner. With regular treatments and good skincare, many clients see a lasting improvement in skin texture and reduced congestion over time.
Went here for the first time today for microdermabrasion and it was awesome! So much better than where I was going previously. The beautician was really thorough and very professional and the place has a nice vibe. The lady on reception was absolutely lovely too. Really glad I tried this place and looking forward to going back. Highly recommended.
LISA ROBERTSON, GLASGOW
I would highly recommend Esteem Beauty and Kasia. She is extremely knowledgable and friendly. I received vein treatment which I was very happy with but the other skin advice from Kasia has also been extremely helpful
KIRSTY JOHNSTONE, GLASGOW

BLACKHEAD REMOVAL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What causes blackheads?
Blackheads form when pores become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and debris. When exposed to air, the contents oxidise and turn dark - creating the visible “black dot” appearance.
Can I remove blackheads at home?
Squeezing blackheads at home can damage the skin and worsen the problem. Professional extraction is safer, more effective, and reduces the risk of scarring or infection.
Is blackhead removal painful?
No - the treatment is designed to be comfortable. We use gentle techniques to loosen and remove blockages without harsh pressure or unnecessary discomfort.
Will my skin by painful afterwards?
You may experience mild redness in treated areas, which typically fades within a few hours. A calming product is applied to soothe the skin post-treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
A typical blackhead removal session takes around 30 - 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the extent of congestion.
How often should I get blackhead removal?
A single session may be all that's required, or you may need to have a follow-up session. Kasia will advise based on your skin.
Is it suitable for all skin types?
Yes - the treatment can be adapted to suit different skin types, including oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
What’s the difference between blackheads and whiteheads?
Blackheads are open pores exposed to air, which causes oxidation and darkening. Whiteheads are closed, trapped under the skin, and appear as small, pale bumps.
Can I combine blackhead removal with other treatments?
Yes - it’s often included as part of facials or skin maintenance plans. We can advise on complementary treatments to enhance your results.
