The Pico Effect for Caring for Enlarged Pores!

If the eyes are said to be the mirror of the mind, then the skin is said to be the mirror of the body. Because skin is so sensitive and delicate, it is important to care for it with extra attention and treat it as something precious. When you think your skin has already been damaged and it is too late, that is often the earliest point to begin.

There are many aspects of skin, but among them, many people worry about their pores. Pores are easy to enlarge but not easy to reduce, so many people find this concerning. Today, we would like to tell you about the Pico Effect that can help improve this.

  Then, to reduce pores,

we need to look at why they become a concern in the first place.

First, the reasons pores enlarge can be broadly considered in two ways.

The first reason pores enlarge is excessive sebum secretion.

Inside the pores are sebaceous glands that secrete sebum.

Although sebaceous glands differ in size, shape, and distribution depending on the body area,

they are generally known to be widely distributed on the face.

Sebum helps inhibit moisture evaporation, has antibacterial effects, and also positively affects the skin by acting as an emulsifier and helping regulate absorption.

However, too much sebum can instead have a negative effect.

When sebaceous glands are stimulated by stress, insomnia, or hormonal imbalance,

sebum may be secreted excessively.

When too much sebum is produced like this, it is released out through the pores,

which causes the pores to enlarge.

The second reason pores enlarge is reduced skin elasticity.

The skin is made up of several layers.

Simply put, the skin can be divided into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue.

First, the outermost layer, the epidermis, refers to the surface layer of the skin that covers and protects the dermis.

The epidermis contains proteins that give the skin impermeability and also help block ultraviolet rays.

The dermis is the skin layer that surrounds touch receptors,

and it plays a role in supplying nutrients to the epidermis and supporting the skin.

Lastly, the subcutaneous tissue is

made up of a lot of tissue within the veins and nerves beneath the dermis, especially serving to absorb shock.

Among these, the part related to why pores enlarge is the dermis.

The dermis is mostly made up of collagen and elastin,

which are elastic proteins with rubber-like stretchiness

and play an important role in skin elasticity and wrinkle prevention.

However, when collagen and elastin decrease due to reasons such as dry skin or aging,

skin elasticity decreases, and as a result, not only the skin but also the pores lose elasticity.

  Then, are there only one kind of pore?

No. Depending on their shape, pores can be thought of as two types.

Generally, from the teenage years to the mid-20s, hormonal changes

can cause excessive sebum secretion, which may lead to enlarged pores.

In such cases, the pores enlarge into a round shape, and this is called horizontal pores.

Although there are individual differences in when skin aging begins,

it usually starts after the mid-20s.

When pore enlargement is caused by skin aging,

the pores enlarge into an oval shape, and this is called vertical pores.

  Depending on the person, the reasons and types of enlarged pores can vary greatly,

which is why many people look for a method that can conveniently solve these concerns all at once.

However, with so many different options available, it can be hard to decide.

For those who are having trouble choosing easily, today we will introduce Pico Laser.

Pico Laser is a laser that delivers thermal energy in a short time,

causes less damage to surrounding tissue, and can minimize the number of treatments,

making it effective for pore treatment.

Then, let us look in detail at how short that time is and what is good about less damage.

First, Pico Laser uses picosecond technology, meaning one trillionth of a second,

so it is a method that achieves an ultrashort pulse 100 times faster than conventional pore-reduction lasers.

Because it is faster, it refers to a method in which stronger energy is delivered.

Then, you may understand that it is fast, but you might wonder why Pico Laser is recommended instead of other methods.

Because Pico Laser delivers strong energy,

you can experience the effect of receiving what would normally require 10 sessions of a conventional pore-reduction laser in just 2 to 5 sessions, so it has the effect of reducing the number of procedures.

Not only that, because it delivers laser energy in a short time,

the pain during the procedure is less.

Also, because it concentrates 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 Pico Laser treats pores.

Conventional pore-reduction lasers were performed by exfoliating the skin to reduce pores,

but Pico Laser creates tiny holes beneath the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.

Through this, it reduces pores by filling them in.

Through this principle, you can expect not only pore-reduction effects, but also improvement of pigment-related conditions such as freckles, age spots, blemishes, and tattoos, as well as wrinkle removal effects. 

 

The Pico effect, which can be viewed based on the reasons pores enlarge, as described above,

can be experienced through personalized treatment by Director Go Hyo-seon, a board-certified plastic surgeon at April 31.

  At our clinic, every Tuesday and Thursday we are holding an event that offers discounts on all aesthetic procedures, including Pico Laser,

so if you keep this in mind and visit us, we expect you will be able to experience Pico Laser at a more reasonable price.
