After my First Extraction Facial, 2 Days Later I Have Multiple Sores/scabs. is This Normal

After my First Extraction Facial, 2 Days Later I Have Multiple Sores/scabs. is This Normal

A: scabs after extraction facial

Scabs or sores can occur after extractions if the technique was too aggressive, or if the skin was too sensitive because, for example, the person was on a topical retinoid or some other exfoliating agent.  Extractions can be an excellent way of getting rid of persistent or deep comedones, but the results will depend on the technique of the person providing the service.  So, no, scabs and sores are not normal after a facial but they can happen.  Provide wound care to the area (e.g. Aquaphor or Biafine) so that the irritated areas will heal better and faster.  if you go to the same facialist, make sure you discuss what happened with him or her and review your other skin care products.
