Description

{Acne Extractor Using Low Pressure}

The present invention relates to a device for removing acne, and more particularly to an acne extruder for extruding acne using negative pressure.

Acne is caused by the action of sebaceous glands, which appear in the fascial opening at the fasciculate hairs, which are known to develop into inflammation by anaerobic bacteria called P. acnes. If acne causes pyogenic inflammation, the area of the pyrogen is gradually increased, and if it is enlarged and ruptured, some of the skin may fall off and cause scarring or pigmentation on the skin.

There are many ways to treat acne, such as taking antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, peeling, laser treatment, etc. However, acne patients often extrude it with a hand or a tool, which can leave the scar as before. Furthermore, inflammation may be exacerbated by contaminated hands or tools, and contact with others may lead to infection
