Do We Really Need Facial? (photo)

My derms suggest me to do facial (by popping pimple, comedo) every two weeks. And i always ask her why (cause it's expensive and make scars on my face, and i read that we shouldn't popping pimples cause it made scar). Do we really need it? Thanks for info.

Facials are beneficial for acne

If you have comedones, facials with extractions, together with prescription medication such as tretinoin cream, help clear your acne more quickly. When performed professionally, extractions do not leave scars and is not the same as "popping pimples" which should be avoided.
