Is There Another Laser Besides Fraxel for Reducing Cheek Pores?

  The day before an important occasion, there is something women always do.

It is skincare.

That is because skin is one of the important outward factors,

and the cleaner the skin is, the more positive energy it gives.

 

However, skin does not suddenly become better overnight,

and because it is an area that requires continuous care,

many people are wondering how to deal with pores that have suddenly become noticeable.

As the saying goes, “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle,”

it is important to first understand why pores become larger.

  There are several reasons pores become larger,

but broadly speaking, they can be divided into two categories.

The reasons pores enlarge include excessive sebum secretion and reduced skin elasticity.

First, let’s look at enlargement caused by excessive sebum secretion.

When we think of pores, the first thing that often comes to mind is sebum.

As the saying goes, pores are openings where hair grows, and hair follicles are embedded beneath the pores,

and with them is the sebaceous gland.

The sebaceous gland is an organ that produces sebum,

and when it is stimulated for various reasons such as hormone secretion, stress, or insomnia,

sebum can be secreted excessively.

Along with this, the pores can become larger.

Now let’s look at the second reason: reduced skin elasticity.

The skin is made up of keratinocytes and epidermal lipids.

Natural moisturizing factors within keratinocytes help the skin retain moisture,

and epidermal lipids fill the gaps between keratinocytes to prevent moisture from evaporating.

However, if metabolism slows and the amount of epidermal lipids decreases,

moisture escapes and the skin becomes dry,

then the skin tissue dries out and its elasticity declines.

When the skin loses elasticity, the pores also lose elasticity and become larger. 

  In this way, in relation to the reasons pores become larger,

the types of pores are also classified.

For pores that enlarge due to excessive sebum secretion,

among the reasons the sebaceous glands are stimulated, hormonal factors are often the cause,

and this phenomenon usually occurs frequently from the teens to the mid-20s.

Because the sebaceous glands are embedded inside the pores,

when sebum is secreted excessively,

the pores, which are the passage through which sebum is discharged, become larger.

Pores that enlarge due to excessive sebum secretion

have the characteristic of widening in a round shape and are called horizontal pores.

Pores that enlarge due to reduced skin elasticity

are a phenomenon that occurs mostly after the mid-20s, when aging begins.

Pores that form due to reduced skin elasticity

have the characteristic of widening in an oval, sagging shape and are called vertical pores.

In particular, since the cheeks take up the largest area of the face, many people have recently wanted to reduce cheek pores with Fraxel. However, Fraxel has a long recovery period, is painful during the procedure, and has side effects, so it may have been a concern for some people.

For people like this, today we will introduce Pico laser, which can reduce cheek pores not by removing skin but by replenishing it.

Pico laser is a laser that combines PICOSECOND, which implements an ultra-short unit of 1 trillionth of a second, and treats pores by delivering high energy over a short period of time.

It delivers a stronger laser in a shorter time than before, which is similar to how narrowing the opening of a hose results in water spraying out with stronger water pressure.

  Then you may be wondering why we are introducing Pico laser instead of the Fraxel you commonly know.

First, because Pico laser achieves an ultrashort pulse that is 100 times faster than conventional lasers,

the laser is delivered over a shorter period of time,

which means less pain during the procedure.

And because it delivers a stronger laser in a shorter time,

the effect you could previously receive after 10 sessions of a conventional pore laser

can be achieved in 2 to 5 sessions,

so the number of procedures is reduced.

In addition, by concentrating energy into the dermal layer through the MLA lens,

the skin is less damaged,

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

Pico laser works by creating tiny holes beneath the epidermis and synthesizing new collagen,

so as a pore-reducing laser for the nose, it can be expected to provide not only pore-reducing effects

but also improvement of pigmentation concerns and wrinkle reduction effects.  

  Then, you may also be curious about how to use Pico laser, which is more effective than Fraxel for reducing cheek pores,

at a more reasonable price.

At our clinic, every Tuesday and Thursday we hold the Happy Tuesday and Thursday Day event,

in which all petit procedures, including Pico laser, are discounted,

so please keep this in mind when you visit.
