  It’s now completely autumn, and the weather has been getting so cold that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say winter is just around the corner.

This Wednesday, temperatures in Seoul are expected to drop as low as 6 degrees Celsius.

That’s how much colder it’s getting.

Just as your clothes need to get thicker, there’s something else you need to pay attention to.

That’s your skin.

Recently, many people have been seeing posts about skin on social media, and when they look in the mirror,

they realize that skin care is essential for the following reason:

Many people are experiencing skin trouble because of the suddenly cold wind and chilly weather.

Even just dry skin can be stressful, and you may worry about what to do if wrinkles appear.

On top of that, when makeup starts to sit unevenly and pores become visible,

you may feel shocked and think something has really gone wrong.

For wrinkles or dryness, you might think you can somehow make up for it by applying lots of basic skincare products

and spraying mist,

but pores are difficult to manage, so many people may be wondering how to take care of them.

  First, I think many people already know what pores are, but let me explain.

Pores are the openings where hair grows and the channels through which sebum is discharged.

Then why do pores become channels for sebum to come out?

The reason is that sebaceous glands, which secrete sebum, are hidden inside the pores.

Many people may think sebum is bad,

but in fact, sebum serves a good purpose.

Sebum acts as the skin’s protective barrier, helping keep the face from becoming dry.

  Then, aside from hair growing and sebum being discharged, pores don’t really have any other role,

so many people may wonder why they widen at all.

There are two main causes of enlarged pores.

First, pores can widen due to excessive sebum production.

Sebum has a positive purpose,

but when it is secreted excessively due to various causes such as hormone secretion, lack of sleep, and stress,

the pores, which are the channels through which sebum is discharged, can become blocked because of this or because sebum and dead skin cells mix,

leading to enlarged pores.

As a result, circular horizontal pores can form on the skin.

Horizontal pores caused by excessive sebum production like this are usually seen more often in people in their teens and twenties.

The second reason is pore enlargement due to aging.

Collagen in the dermis layer of our skin gives the skin elasticity.

Elastin, which together with collagen makes up the dermis,

helps the skin return to its original shape when it is pulled or twisted.

As we age, collagen in the skin decreases,

causing the skin to become sunken, wrinkles to form, and elasticity to decline, as well as pores to enlarge.

In addition, if the skin becomes excessively dry, aging can occur and pores may enlarge.

Because of this aging process, the skin can develop oval-shaped vertical pores,

and these vertical pores are usually seen after the mid-20s.

They also tend to appear earlier in people with dry skin.

Among these, many people who are troubled by vertical pores in the butterfly zone—the area beside the nose and the cheeks, where pores are especially visible—because of the chilly autumn weather

are increasingly looking into ways to reduce pores.

To address this, inquiries about Gangnam Butterfly Zone Pore Laser are increasing.

  Today, for those who are wondering which method to choose with Gangnam Butterfly Zone Pore Laser,

let’s look into improvement methods.

In the past, Fraxel was often the pore laser people looked into.

Fraxel is based on the body’s natural healing and regeneration when the skin is injured.

It works by creating microscopic injuries in the skin to exfoliate it, then allowing it to heal naturally,

so that skin concerns are treated at the same time.

However, after the procedure, recovery is not immediate and you cannot return to daily life right away,

and according to reviews saying that the pain during the procedure is significant,

many people were concerned.

An advanced technology has emerged that overcomes these drawbacks of Fraxel,

and that is the Pico laser, which is rapidly rising as the Gangnam Butterfly Zone Pore Laser.

The Pico laser is not a method that treats pores by exfoliating the skin and shaving it down like existing methods;

it is a method that tightens pores.

While explaining pore enlargement due to aging as one of the reasons pores expand, I mentioned that collagen in the dermis layer is a factor that determines skin elasticity.

The Pico laser works by creating tiny openings below the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.

Through this, you can expect not only pore reduction but also improvement in pigmentation issues and wrinkle reduction.

Then you may wonder why I say the Pico laser is more advanced than Fraxel.

First, the term “pico” in Pico laser comes from “picosecond,” which means one trillionth of a second.

Compared with the nanosecond technology used by conventional lasers,

it combines laser technology with a technique that achieves ultrashort pulses 100 times shorter.

 Because it delivers higher energy in a shorter amount of time,

it causes less thermal damage to surrounding tissue and can minimize the number of treatment sessions.

 To explain in more detail,

you can expect a treatment-session reduction effect, where the results seen after 10 sessions of a conventional pore laser can be achieved in 2 to 5 sessions.   In addition, because the energy is concentrated and stimulated in the dermis layer using an MLA lens,

there is less damage to the surrounding tissue and the skin, so you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

And because the Pico laser induces collagen regeneration,

it can also improve skin elasticity and texture as well as brighten skin tone.
