  Among our body’s organs, there are not many that we can touch and see every day.

Because of that, skin is not a part of the body that we easily think of as something so important and mysterious.

In terms of weight, skin is actually 3 kg, making it twice as heavy as the brain.

Skin is also a part of the body that has become important in social terms recently.

This is because clear and clean skin is considered one of the important elements along with various standards of beauty.

There are many points of skin care for beauty,

but among them, the area that most people consider most important is pores.

Pores are easy to enlarge, but not easy to reduce,

so many people are worried about them.

For people like this, today we will look at the reasons pores get larger and how to solve them for pore reduction.

To reduce pores, first of all, we need to learn about pores, including why they get larger.

 

Pores serve as openings through which hair grows.

In addition, sebaceous glands that secrete sebum are present inside pores.

Sebum mixes with sweat to form a thin coating layer that surrounds the sebum,

and this is the natural oil-and-moisture barrier.

The forehead and nose, which are highly exposed to wind and ultraviolet rays, are said to have larger sebaceous glands in particular.

Sebum also plays a positive role, but when it is secreted excessively,

it becomes greasy and absorbs dust and pollutants, making the skin surface dirty.

  Then why do pores get larger?

There are two reasons pores widen.

First, pores get larger because of excessive sebum secretion.

As mentioned earlier, this is because there are sebaceous glands inside pores that secrete sebum.

For this reason, pores act as channels that release sebum,

so excessive sebum secretion can widen pores.

In addition, excess sebum can mix not only with dust and pollutants but also with dead skin cells and clog pores.

If pores remain blocked for a long time, it can make skin breathing difficult,

and can also cause inflammation, leading to widened pores.

Second, pores get larger because of decreased skin elasticity.

As we age, the skin cannot escape the passage of time.

As time goes by, collagen and elastin in the skin are lost,

which leads to wrinkles and reduced elasticity.

As this happens, the elasticity of pores also decreases, which becomes a reason pores get larger.

  Pores can be divided into two types according to their shape.

Horizontal pores are a phenomenon that mainly appears in the teens to mid-20s.

The reason horizontal pores occur is mainly due to excessive sebum secretion,

and they are characterized by a round shape.

Vertical pores are a phenomenon that appears after the mid-20s.

The reason vertical pores occur is mainly due to aging,

and they are characterized by an oval shape.

Many people are probably wondering how to reduce pores.

As mentioned earlier, pores expand easily but are not easy to shrink.

Even if you try to manage them with home care or cosmetics, it is not easy to see dramatic results.

For those who were disappointed while trying to reduce pores,

today I would like to introduce the Pico laser.

The Pico laser is a laser procedure that incorporates PICOSECOND technology, which is one trillionth of a second. It is a laser that is 100 times faster than the NANOSECOND used in conventional lasers,

Just as narrowing the front end of a hose when spraying water makes the water pressure come out stronger, because the laser is delivered for a time that is 100 times faster, a laser with that much stronger energy is emitted. This is a laser procedure that delivers high energy in a short time.

There have been various pore-reduction lasers in the past,

and you may especially wonder why we recommend the Pico laser.

First, because the Pico laser achieves the ultrashort PICOSECOND, which is 100 times faster than conventional pore-reduction lasers,

there is less pain during the procedure.

And because it is a method that delivers strong energy,

it has a treatment-count reduction effect, allowing you to achieve the effect of 10 sessions of a conventional pore laser in just 2 to 5 sessions of the Pico laser.

In addition, because it focuses energy on the dermis through an MLA lens,

there is less damage to the skin,

so you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Unlike conventional lasers, the Pico laser does not reduce pores by peeling or removing the skin,

but is a method that makes pore reduction possible by filling in the pores.

This is related to the principle of the Pico laser,

because it creates tiny holes below the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.

Through this, it not only has the effect of making the skin clean and reducing pores,

but also has the effect of improving skin pigment conditions such as freckles, age spots, blemishes, and tattoos by breaking them down more finely, and it has the effect of removing wrinkles by synthesizing new collagen and making the skin firm.
