How Can You Succeed in Managing Pore Reduction?

  Recently, many people have come to place importance on outward appearance.

That is because it is one of the major factors that determines a person’s impression, since it is the first thing people see.

There are many different aspects of outward appearance.

 

Among them, the part that is both the easiest to manage and the most difficult is the skin.

There are many things to pay attention to when it comes to skin,

and among them, many people are increasingly trying to successfully reduce pore size through pore-reduction care methods.

  To make pore-reduction care methods effective successfully,

more than anything else, it is important to know the exact reasons why pores become larger.

There are several reasons pores enlarge,

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

The reasons pores become larger 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 that pores are openings where hair grows suggests, hair follicles are embedded beneath the pores,

and the sebaceous glands are located alongside them.

The sebaceous glands are organs that produce sebum.

When the sebaceous glands are stimulated for various reasons such as hormone secretion, stress, or lack of sleep,

a large amount of sebum may be secreted, and the pores, which are the passage through which sebum exits, can become enlarged.

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, causing skin moisture to escape and the skin to become dry,

the tissue of the skin dries out and its elasticity declines.

When skin elasticity decreases, pore elasticity also decreases, causing the pores to become larger. 

  As such, in relation to the reasons pores become larger, here are also different types of pores.

In the case of pores that enlarge due to excessive sebum secretion,

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

This phenomenon usually occurs frequently from the teens through the mid-20s.

Because the sebaceous glands are embedded within the pores,

when sebum is excessively secreted, the pores, which are the pathway for sebum to be discharged, become enlarged.

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 from the mid-20s, when aging begins.

Pores that form due to reduced skin elasticity have the characteristic of widening in an oval shape, as if sagging, and are called vertical pores.

  Today, for those who have been considering the price of pore-reduction laser treatment,

we would like to introduce the Pico Laser at April31.

The Pico Laser is a laser that combines PICOSECOND, which implements an ultrashort duration of one trillionth of a second,

and is a method of treating pores by delivering high energy over a short period of time.

It delivers a stronger laser in a shorter amount of time than before,

which works on the same principle as when water is sprayed from a hose: narrowing the opening creates stronger water pressure.

  Then you may be wondering why, among the various pore-reduction care methods,

we are introducing the Pico Laser as a way to succeed.

First, because the Pico Laser achieves an ultrashort duration that is 100 times faster than conventional lasers that used NANOSECOND,

it delivers the laser over a shorter period of time,

so there is less pain during the procedure.

And because it delivers a stronger laser in 100 times less time,

the effect that could previously be obtained with 10 conventional pore-laser sessions

can be achieved in just 2 to 5 sessions, reducing the number of procedures needed.

In addition, by focusing energy stimulation on the dermis through an MLA lens,

the skin is less damaged,

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

Then you may be curious about how the Pico Laser can reduce pores. The Pico Laser improves pores not by shaving them down, but by filling them in. It works on the principle of creating tiny holes beneath the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.

Through this effect, it is a method that can be expected to help not only reduce pores but also improve pigment-related conditions and reduce wrinkles.

  For those looking into pore-reduction care methods,

cost-related benefits are also something they consider in order to be even more successful.

At April31, every Tuesday and Thursday, we are holding a Happy Tuesday-Thursday Day event that discounts all petit procedures, including the Pico Laser,

so please keep this in mind when visiting, as we think it will be helpful.
