Remove blackheads effectively – choose the right tool
To remove blackheads quickly and thoroughly, we recommend using a professional blackhead remover . These instruments are also used in professional cosmetics—including those from Excellent Solingen . Our product range has been continuously developed based on customer requests.
Comedone loop – ideal for targeted removal
The comedone loop has a loop at the end and is available in different designs:
- Large, one-sided loop : Particularly suitable for treating larger blackheads – e.g., on the back or legs.
- Small, one-sided loop : For precise work in the facial area. This version is gentle on the skin, as it allows for targeted pressure.
Double-sided comedone loops are also available. These have a different-sized loop at each end for versatile applications.
Examples:
Comedone extractors & comedone squeezers – alternatives to slings
Unlike the loop, the comedone extractor has a ring-shaped loop . Here, too, there are different shapes:
- Curved ends : Ideal for hard-to-reach areas.
- Straight ends : For precise removal in the facial area.
Which option is better depends on your personal preference. For maximum flexibility, we recommend our comedone extractor set (5 pieces) , which combines different shapes.
Comedone extractor – for larger areas of skin
The comedone extractor is usually spoon-shaped and ideal for larger areas, such as the nose. Here, too, models are available with different loop shapes:
