Blackheads

At Elegance Clinic, Blackheads are treated as a common form of acne that develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. Unlike inflamed acne, it remains open at the skin’s surface, where the trapped material oxidizes and turns dark. Although they are not usually painful, untreated It can lead to enlarged pores, rough skin texture, and recurring acne.

Treatment at Elegance Clinic focuses on clearing clogged pores, controlling excess oil production, preventing new blackheads, improving skin texture, and maintaining healthy, clear skin through personalized treatment plans.

What Are Blackheads?

Blackheads, medically known as open comedones, are small dark-colored bumps that form when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. The dark appearance is caused by oxidation when the clogged material is exposed to air, not by dirt.

At Dr. Ashutosh Shah’s practice, every patient receives a detailed skin evaluation to identify the cause of blackheads and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
