Cauterizing acne extractions. Is this safe for acne without making a scar?

February 8, 2022
Asked By:jessbaum75 in California, MD

My son is getting facials and when the facialist finishes he cauterizes the extraction. He says this kills the bacteria. I read this Can cause scarring and I don't want my 15 year old to have craters or scars. Is this safe for acne without making a scar? Hole?
