What’s the secret to getting pore-reduction laser treatment effectively and quickly?

  The hot, humid weather that made us sweat is gone

 and autumn is gradually approaching, bringing dry winds and cold weather.

In this kind of weather, the skin’s moisture-oil balance is a real concern,

but another thing that becomes a concern is the pores that have sagged during the summer.

Pores are one of the indicators that determine how skin texture looks.

Depending on skin texture, a person can look clear and beautiful,

and if the skin is rough, it can look somewhat dull even if they have naturally beautiful features.

However, once pores become enlarged, they are extremely hard to shrink again.

You may be wondering how you should care for them.

First, before figuring out how to manage pores, 

it seems necessary to understand why pores are so restless in the first place.

There are three major causes that make pores larger.

First, during puberty, when hormones are secreted excessively, sebaceous gland activity becomes more active,

and a large amount of sebum is discharged through the pores.

In the process of excessive sebum secretion, pores can also become larger,

and some sebum accumulates in the pores, which becomes a factor that widens them. 

Second, as the skin ages, the skin around the pores loses elasticity.

The skin fibers that supported the pores lose strength, and the pore size naturally expands.

Lastly, just as scars can remain during the healing process after inflammation develops in a pore,

the skin hardens and the pores can also become larger.

  The cheek and nose area where hair tends to grow especially thick is commonly called the butterfly zone.

It is said that inflammation often occurs in the butterfly zone.

And in this area, pores tend to widen especially easily,

so it is an area where many later problems such as blackheads and acne can occur more easily,

which is probably why you paid extra attention to it.

There are broadly three types of pores:

loss-of-elasticity pores, sebum pores, and melanin pores.

Loss-of-elasticity pores refer to the pores that became enlarged because the skin lost elasticity as aging occurred,

as mentioned earlier among the causes of enlarged pores.

Sebum pores refer to pores that have widened because sebum accumulated inside them

as excess sebum was discharged,

and melanin pores refer to pores that have turned dark due to pigmentation.

  It is impossible to completely eliminate pores.

That is because pores are not only openings where hair grows,

but also spaces through which sebum and sweat are discharged, so they clearly have a function.

However, fortunately, there are many ways to prevent pores from enlarging further

or to reduce their size.

However, cosmetics do not have a very strong effect,

and in the case of photodynamic therapy or oral vitamin A derivatives, which remove sebaceous glands and acne bacteria,

they can prevent pores from getting larger, but

it is difficult to reduce the size itself.

For this reason, the treatment many people ultimately look for is pore-reduction laser treatment.

 

Recently, various pore-reduction laser treatments such as IPL and Fraxel have been introduced,

but the one that originally drew the most attention was Fraxel.

In the case of Fraxel, it works by alternately leaving microscopic damaged zones and normal tissue on the skin,

so that the damaged tissue receives a smooth supply of cells from the surrounding normal cells

and rapid cell regeneration occurs.

However, since there are various types of Fraxel, the effect differs depending on the degree of damage,

and because the recovery period tends to be long and the pain can be severe,

it was not a treatment that people could easily decide to undergo.

For those of you who have been concerned about these aspects,

we would like to introduce the new technology offered at April 31 Plastic Surgery,

called pico laser. 

  Pico laser is a pore-reduction laser treatment that delivers high energy in a short amount of time,

like narrowing the opening of a hose so that water pressure comes out strongly all at once. 

Because it focuses energy stimulation on the dermal layer through the MLA lens,

it causes less damage to the skin and is advantageous in that you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Also, because it delivers high energy at once,

if you had to receive 10 sessions of an existing pore laser, it can shorten the number of treatments so that it can be resolved in 2 to 5 sessions.

  In the case of pico laser, it is a method that can provide benefits for all three types of pores mentioned earlier.

By creating tiny openings beneath the epidermis, it synthesizes new collagen,

so in addition to reducing pores, it is effective for melanin pores that have become pigmented,

and for pigment-related conditions such as tattoos, melasma, and blemishes.

You can also expect wrinkle-removal effects for skin lacking collagen, such as loss-of-elasticity pores.

  Currently, at April 31 Plastic Surgery, every Tuesday and Thursday,

we are holding the Happy Tuesday-Thursday Day event,

offering discounts on all petite procedures, including the pore-reduction laser treatment pico laser.
