Since long ago, there have been many expressions used to praise skin.
For example, skin like white jade, skin like oxygen, baby skin, or skin like a peeled hard-boiled egg.
These compliments all share one common feature.
That is, they refer to smooth skin texture.
There are many factors that help improve skin texture,
but among them, the most important one may be pores.
Skin with smaller pores looks like it has better texture and gives a cleaner impression.
You might think you do not need to worry about pores since it is not summer,
but because pores can enlarge for many reasons, it is important to care for them all the time.

Then let’s look at the reasons why pores become enlarged.
The first reason is one that many people tend not to worry about unless it is summer:
excess sebum production.
The pores themselves are openings where hair grows.
Because of this, hair follicles that produce hair are located beneath the pores.
Next to these hair follicles are sebaceous glands, which secrete sebum.
Sebum plays positive roles such as keeping the skin moisturized and helping with sterilization.
However, when the sebaceous glands are stimulated by various reasons and secrete too much,
it is discharged from inside the pores to the outside, which can enlarge the pores.
If waste and sebum mix together, block the pores, and remain there,
it can also become a cause of enlarged pores.
The second reason is something you should pay even more attention to in winter.
That is that pores can enlarge because the skin’s elasticity decreases.
You may have heard a lot about skin elasticity.
It refers to the skin’s ability to stay firm when pressed with a finger and to return to its original state even after being stretched.
The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat.
Among these, the dermis plays the most important role in skin elasticity and strength.
The dermis is mostly made up of collagen and proteins.
These give the skin its elasticity.
However, if collagen decreases due to aging or ultraviolet rays,
skin elasticity also decreases.
When skin elasticity decreases, pore elasticity also decreases,
which can lead to enlarged pores.

Pores do not enlarge in one uniform shape,
but are divided into types depending on how they enlarge and the reasons behind it.
They can be broadly divided into two types.
First, there are horizontal pores.
Horizontal pores usually appear a lot in the teens through the mid-20s,
and are pores that enlarge due to excessive sebum production.
Horizontal pores are characterized by their round shape.
The other type is vertical pores.
Vertical pores usually appear more often after the mid-20s,
and refer to pores that enlarge because the skin’s elasticity decreases due to aging.
Vertical pores are characterized by their oval, sagging shape.

With pores that enlarge for various reasons and in different types,
you may be wondering how they should be managed.
It can be difficult to reduce pores with home care alone, so you may be 고민 about it.
That is why many people look into pore-reduction lasers,
and today, for those people, I will introduce Pico Laser.
Pico Laser is a method that uses high energy in a short period of time to address skin concerns.

You may be wondering what the word “pico” actually means.
It is a name derived from applying PICOSECOND technology.
As a technology that achieves an ultra-short duration of one-trillionth of a second,
it delivers higher energy as the pulse becomes shorter than before.
This works on the same principle as narrowing the front part of a hose when spraying water to increase water pressure.

Then you may be curious about what makes Pico Laser different in terms of effects.
First, because Pico Laser is a method that delivers strong laser energy,
you can achieve the effect that previously required 10 sessions of a pore laser
in a relatively short 2 to 5 sessions,
so it has the effect of reducing the number of treatments.
And because it achieves an ultra-short duration that is 100 times faster than existing NANOSECOND lasers,
it delivers the laser over a shorter period of time, so there is less pain during treatment.
In addition, because it focuses energy stimulation on the dermis through an MLA lens,
there is less damage to surrounding tissue and less damage to the skin itself.

Pico Laser works by creating tiny holes in the dermis beneath the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.
Through this, in addition to reducing the appearance of pores, it also offers various effects.

Not only does it help smooth the skin by reducing pores,
but it may also help improve pigmentation issues such as freckles, age spots, blemishes, and tattoos,
and it can also be expected to help improve wrinkles by synthesizing new collagen.

For those who are worried about Pico Laser pricing,
we would like to share some good information.
Our clinic is currently running a Tuesday and Thursday event that offers price benefits.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, all petite procedures are discounted,
so if you visit with this in mind, we expect you will be able to use the service at a reasonable price.
