Will cavitation peeling help remove milia and blackheads?

Cavitation peeling, although an effective and gentle method of skin cleansing, is not capable of removing all types of skin lesions, such as milia. Milia are small, white bumps caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells and sebum trapped under the skin’s surface. Since they are enclosed beneath the epidermis and lack an opening, cavitation peeling is not sufficient to remove them. In such cases, it is necessary to pierce the lesion and extract it manually, a procedure typically performed during professional manual facial cleansing at a cosmetic salon.

On the other hand, cavitation peeling is more effective in addressing blackheads, particularly open ones (commonly known as comedones), which appear as black dots on the skin’s surface. This procedure uses ultrasonic waves to gently cleanse and exfoliate the epidermis. The ultrasound helps to unblock the openings of sebaceous glands, making it easier to remove accumulated sebum and impurities. As a result, cavitation peeling supports the cleansing process and can significantly reduce the number of blackheads.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of cavitation peeling depends on the type and depth of the blackheads. Superficial blackheads can be removed relatively easily, while deeper lesions may require additional treatments, such as manual extraction, microdermabrasion, or the application of specialized acid-based products (e.g., salicylic or glycolic acid), which help dissolve and exfoliate impurities clogging the pores.

Cavitation peeling also offers other benefits – it improves microcirculation, oxygenates the skin, and stimulates regenerative processes. Regularly performing this treatment can help maintain clear, healthy skin, reduce sebum production, and improve skin texture. To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to combine cavitation peeling with other skincare methods, such as cleansing masks, moisturizing treatments, and the use of skincare products tailored to the skin type.

In my opinion, cavitation peeling does not remove milia but is an effective tool in combating blackheads. For deeper lesions, additional treatments may be necessary, which should be carried out under the supervision of an experienced cosmetologist or dermatologist.
