I cannot provide medical guidance for this cosmetic procedure based on the available evidence
The evidence provided consists entirely of dental/periodontal surgical guidelines (tooth extraction, implant placement, alveolar ridge preservation) 1, 2, melanoma and skin cancer management protocols 1, actinic keratosis treatment 1, and odontogenic cyst management 3. None of these sources address facial pore extraction or comedone removal procedures.
Why This Question Cannot Be Answered from the Evidence
The research articles on facial pores 4, 5, 6, 7 discuss pore size reduction treatments (lasers, chemical peels, topical retinoids), not pore opening for extraction. Only one source 8 mentions comedone extraction as part of acne surgery, but provides no technical details on pore preparation.
What the Limited Evidence Shows
- Comedone extraction involves applying mechanical pressure with a comedone extractor to remove pilosebaceous follicle contents, used as adjunctive treatment for active acne 8
- The procedure should only be performed by trained dermatologists in appropriate clinical settings 8
- No evidence-based protocols exist in the provided literature for "opening pores" prior to extraction
Critical Safety Concern
Attempting to "open pores" without proper dermatologic training risks infection, scarring, and tissue damage. The provided evidence emphasizes that even basic dermatologic procedures require specific training and appropriate clinical settings 8.
If you are seeking to perform facial extractions, this should only be done by a licensed dermatologist or trained aesthetician following established protocols not present in this evidence base.
