Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are one of the most common skin concerns for both teenagers and adults. They affect the skin’s appearance, clog pores, and can lead to inflammation over time. At MONLIS Studio in Munich, we explain how blackheads form, why home remedies are often ineffective, and which professional methods truly help to achieve clear skin permanently.
What Are Blackheads?
Blackheads are clogged pores filled with sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt. Unlike whiteheads, the pore remains open, and the dark color comes from the oxidation of the sebum when exposed to air—not from dirt. They typically appear in the T-zone: the forehead, nose, and chin.
What Causes Blackheads?
The most common causes include:
Excess Sebum Production: Often triggered by hormones, especially during puberty or hormonal imbalances.
Poor Skin Hygiene: Leftover makeup, pollution, or sweat can block pores.
Wrong Skincare Products: Comedogenic or oily products can contribute to clogged pores.
Diet: High sugar and fat intake may stimulate more sebum production.
Stress: Hormonal stress can negatively affect the skin and encourage impurities.
Why Don’t Blackheads Disappear on Their Own?
Some believe the skin will regulate itself, but blackheads often persist or return. Without targeted skincare and regular deep cleansing, pore blockages become chronic. Improper removal can result in irritation, inflammation, or enlarged pores.
What Really Helps Against Blackheads?
At MONLIS Studio, we use a holistic skincare approach to remove blackheads effectively and sustainably:
1. Professional Facial Cleansing
Our deep cleansing treatments gently remove sebum, impurities, and dead skin cells. Depending on your skin type, we choose suitable cleansers and exfoliants, and if needed, perform manual extractions.
2. Fruit Acid Peels
AHA or BHA chemical peels help renew the skin surface, unclog pores, and refine the complexion.
3. Ultrasound Cleansing
A gentle, painless method using high-frequency vibrations to cleanse pores—ideal for sensitive skin.
4. Personalized Skincare Advice
We analyze your skin and recommend non-comedogenic products tailored to your individual needs.
5. Consistent Treatments
One facial can offer visible improvements, but lasting results require consistent care. Our specialists will design a treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs.
Can You Get Rid of Blackheads Permanently?
Yes – with the right combination of professional treatments, daily care at home, and a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to significantly improve your skin and reduce blackheads long term. Visible improvement is often seen after just 2–3 sessions, but consistency is key.
At-Home Tips
Alongside professional treatments, we recommend:
Daily cleansing with gentle, non-stripping products
Weekly exfoliation (either mechanical or chemical)
