  During the various gatherings and appointments at the end and beginning of the year, we tend to consume more food than usual,

and eat salty and oily foods.

We also end up drinking more alcohol than we normally would.

In addition to these frequent drinking occasions, the colder weather and the extreme temperature differences between indoors and outdoors

make the skin even more difficult to manage.

  At some point, when you look in the mirror, before you even have time to think about why your pores are enlarging,

you notice that your skin has worsened.

Many people look for ways to improve this and worry about it.

  So, what exactly are the reasons pores enlarge?

The reasons pores enlarge can be broadly divided into two categories.

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 present beneath the pores,

with sebaceous glands alongside them.

Sebaceous glands are organs that produce sebum.

When sebaceous glands are stimulated by various factors such as hormone secretion, stress, and lack of sleep,

sebum may be secreted excessively.

In particular, among these causes, sebaceous glands are often stimulated by hormones,

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

Because sebaceous glands are located within the pores, when sebum is secreted excessively,

the pores, which serve as the passage through which sebum is discharged, become wider.

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

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.

When the amount of epidermal lipids decreases due to slowed metabolism and the skin loses moisture and becomes dry,

the skin tissue dries out and the skin’s elasticity decreases.

When skin elasticity decreases, pore elasticity also decreases and the pores become wider.

This reduction in skin elasticity is a phenomenon that commonly occurs from the mid-20s, when aging begins.

  Depending on the cause of pore enlargement,

pores can be thought of as two types.

First, pores that widen due to excessive sebum secretion

 have a round shape and are called horizontal pores.

Second, pores that appear due to reduced skin elasticity

have an oval shape and widen as if sagging, and are called vertical pores.

  Because of the many reasons pores enlarge in these various ways,

you may be wondering how to effectively improve worsened skin.

For those who are concerned about this, today we would like to introduce Pico Laser.

Pico Laser is a method that applies PICOSECOND, which achieves an ultrashort duration of one trillionth of a second,

to treat pores by delivering high energy over a short period of time.

It delivers stronger laser energy in the shorter time compared to conventional methods.

This works on the same principle as, when spraying water from a hose,

narrowing the opening produces a stronger water pressure.

  Then you may be wondering why I am introducing Pico Laser among the many pore-reducing methods.

First, because Pico Laser achieves an ultrashort duration that is 100 times faster than conventional pore-reducing methods,

it delivers laser energy over a short time, making the procedure less painful.

And because it delivers stronger laser energy in the shortened time,

you can expect the effect you would normally get from 10 sessions of a conventional pore laser in just 2 to 5 sessions,

which reduces the number of treatments needed.

In addition, because energy is concentrated on the dermal layer through the MLA lens and skin damage is minimal,

you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure.

Pico Laser works by creating small holes beneath the epidermis to synthesize new collagen. As a laser for reducing nose pores, it can offer not only pore-reduction effects, but also improvement of pigmentation conditions and wrinkle reduction effects. This is something that can be understood together with the principles of Pico Laser.
