Reducing Pore-Reduction Treatment Costs by Minimizing the Number of Sessions!

  Recently, a wide variety of cosmetics have come onto the market.

In particular, makeup products that help cover skin concerns have become more advanced,

and they can now conceal not only skin tone and complexion but also blemishes and pores.

However, these days, there is a growing perception that bare skin is actually more important.

Rather than having a drastically different look before and after makeup, people now place more value on naturally beautiful bare skin even without makeup,

which has ultimately led to a preference for skin that looks good without makeup.

For overall skin tone and wrinkles, there are various cosmetics and care methods,

but when it comes to pores, it is not easy to reduce enlarged pores through home care alone, so many people are concerned about them.

So why do pores become enlarged?

First of all, pores are the openings from which hair grows,

and some of you may be wondering what this has to do with enlarged pores.

Inside the pores are sebaceous glands that secrete sebum.

Sebum gives a negative image to people with oily skin because it is secreted excessively, but 

it suppresses moisture evaporation to help retain hydration and add luster,

has a sterilizing effect on pyogenic bacteria and ringworm fungi,

and also has an emulsifying function.

The number of pores is fixed at birth, so they cannot be eliminated.

Then why do pores that were not visible when we were young start to show?

The reason is that pores become wider over time, making them visible.

So why do pores widen?

  First, there are two main reasons why pores widen.

The first is excessive sebum secretion.

Sebum can be overproduced due to stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalance, and other reasons.

When sebum is secreted excessively, the pores through which it is discharged can widen.

In addition, dead skin cells mixed with sebum can not only cause acne

but also create blackheads and whiteheads.

And if acne, whiteheads, and blackheads are forcibly removed,

the skin can become irritated, creating a vicious cycle in which the pores widen again.

The phenomenon of enlarged pores caused by excessive sebum secretion

usually occurs a lot from the teens to the mid-20s,

and round-shaped pores may develop.

The second is pore enlargement due to aging.

As people age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles appear, and the skin begins to sag.

As this happens, the skin’s pores lose elasticity and can widen.

This type of pore widening due to aging is usually experienced by people in their mid-20s and older,

and oval-shaped pores may develop.

 

Pores can be broadly divided into three types.

The first is elastic-poor pores, which lose elasticity, sag, and stretch.

Elastic-poor pores are mostly caused by dry skin, which tends to lose elasticity easily, or by skin aging,

and they are also called comb-pattern pores because they appear stretched like a comb pattern.

Elastic-poor pores usually occur mainly in the butterfly zone, from the sides of the nose to the cheeks.

The second is sebum pores, where sebum accumulates in the pores.

Sebum pores are caused by unnecessarily secreted sebum and oils,

and they are said to occur especially often in the T-zone.

The third is melanin pores, which turn dark due to pigmentation.

Melanin pores refer to the type in which the pores appear dark even though they are not filled with sebum,

because they are caused by pigmentation.

These pores can occur if you rub too hard while cleansing

or if you have a habit of frequently rubbing and crumpling your face in everyday life.

Because pores with these various causes and types are not easy to reduce through home care alone, many people look into the price of pore-reduction treatments. In the past, many people looking into pore-reduction treatment prices chose Fraxel.

Fraxel was a method that promotes the body’s natural ability to restore wounds, using numerous lasers to penetrate from the epidermis to the dermis. Fraxel can be effective for reducing pores, but the pain is severe enough to require anesthesia, and immediate return to daily life is not possible.

For this reason, many people have been looking for new pore-reduction treatment prices, and for those people, today we will introduce the Pico laser.

  Unlike Fraxel, laser treatment does not shave off the skin to reduce pores, but instead tightens them.

In Pico laser, “Pico” refers to PICOSECOND,

which is 100 times faster than the NANOSECOND used by conventional lasers.

Because Pico laser delivers high energy in a very short time,

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

Pico laser can provide the effect of 10 sessions of conventional pore laser treatment in just 2 to 5 sessions, so it has the effect of reducing the number of treatments.

In addition, because it uses an MLA lens to concentrate energy and stimulate the dermis,

the skin sustains less damage and you can return to daily life immediately.

It can also improve skin texture to be elastic and smooth, as well as brighten skin tone, and this is related to the principles of Pico laser.

 

Pico laser creates tiny holes below the epidermis to synthesize new collagen,

so you can expect not only pore reduction but also improvement of pigmentation conditions such as tattoos, melasma, and blemishes,

as well as wrinkle reduction through collagen production.

 

At our clinic, we run a cheerful Tuesday-Thursday event that discounts all petit procedures every Tuesday and Thursday,

so please keep this in mind when visiting. You may be able to use Pico laser

at a more reasonable pore-reduction treatment price.
