Trial price: 329,000 VND
Extraction performed with the right technique, minimising skin trauma
Manual extraction is a supportive step within an acne treatment plan. To minimise the risk of spreading inflammation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring, it must be performed at the right time and with the right technique.
At Eternal, every extraction session begins with a consultation with our dermatologist to assess the condition of your skin, decide which lesions can be safely treated during the session and adjust your home-care routine if needed.
After extraction, the skin is treated with anti-inflammatory serum iontophoresis and LED light therapy to soothe the area, reduce redness and support recovery of the freshly treated zones.
Each session lasts approximately 60–75 minutes.

The Eternal protocol
Consultation with the dermatologist
An assessment of your skin condition, identification of the lesions suitable for extraction and recommendations for any adjustments to your home-care routine.
Cleansing and softening the comedones
The skin is double cleansed and treated with specialised products to soften the comedones, reducing friction and minimising trauma during extraction.
Disinfection and skin preparation
All tools are sterilised according to clinical protocol. Our therapists work in a hygienic environment under the dermatologist's supervision.
Manual extraction
The therapist adapts hand pressure to each type of lesion and skin area to avoid unnecessary trauma.
Anti-inflammatory serum iontophoresis
A soothing, recovery-focused serum is delivered into the skin after extraction to ease any stinging sensation and support the recovery of the skin barrier.
LED light therapy
Helps reduce inflammation, calm the skin and limit the formation of post-acne marks.
Recovery and home-care guidance
The skin is finished with a calming mask, recovery serum, moisturiser and sunscreen. You will receive personalised guidance on caring for your skin during the first 48–72 hours after the session.
Results and maintenance schedule
After the first session, the skin's surface feels visibly clearer and smoother. Some areas may appear slightly red within the first 12–24 hours — a common reaction after extraction that gradually settles with proper care.
For skin with extensive congestion or under active acne treatment, Eternal typically recommends an extraction session every 3–4 weeks as advised by the dermatologist. Once the skin stabilises, the interval is extended accordingly.
Manual extraction is not a replacement for acne treatment. Long-term results depend on the underlying skin condition, the treatment plan and your home-care routine.
Aftercare
Avoid touching the face for the first 4–6 hours
No makeup for the first 24 hours
Use sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher during the day
Pause retinol, AHA, BHA and other strong actives for the first 48–72 hours
Avoid steam rooms, intense exercise and swimming for the first 24 hours
Do not attempt to extract remaining lesions at home
Limit spicy food, sugar and dairy for the first few days
