Pore-Reduction Procedure for Large Pores: Pico Effect!

Winter has passed and spring has arrived. The warm weather is pleasant, but only for a moment. Strong ultraviolet rays increase sebum production, and the pores widen to help sebum be discharged. In addition, as the daily temperature range remains large and the skin becomes drier, skin elasticity decreases and pores can expand even further. Pore care is an essential part of skincare, and among pore concerns, aging pores and enlarged pores are considered the biggest issues.

When pores become larger and increase in number, the skin looks rough and dirty, and shadows are created on the face, reducing skin clarity. In addition, dead skin cells can build up on the skin and may cause skin troubles. Regardless of skin type, the pores around the nose, such as the area around the nose, the bridge of the nose, and the sides of the nose, where sebum and sweat are abundant, can easily become enlarged. That is why more and more people are looking for ways to reduce large pores on the nose.

Then what exactly causes pores to become enlarged? The reasons can largely be divided into two categories.

First, the biggest reason pores enlarge is excessive sebum production. Next to the pores are sebaceous glands that secrete sebum. When sebaceous glands are stimulated for various reasons such as hormone secretion, stress, or lack of sleep, they secrete more sebum than the skin needs. In this case, the pores, which are the pathways for sebum discharge, can widen.

Another reason is reduced skin elasticity. People age as time passes. The skin is made up of multiple layers, and the part responsible for elasticity is the dermis. The dermis is made up of hyaluronic acid and collagen. When aging occurs, hyaluronic acid and collagen decrease, which can reduce skin elasticity. As skin elasticity decreases, pore elasticity also declines, and pores can enlarge.

Pores can be classified according to why they enlarge and what shape they take. Pores can be divided into horizontal pores and vertical pores.

When pores enlarge due to excessive sebum production, this usually can occur from the teens through the mid-20s, when hormone secretion is active. In this case, round-shaped enlarged pores appear, known as horizontal pores.

When pores enlarge due to reduced skin elasticity, this usually can occur after the mid-20s, when aging begins. In this case, oval-shaped enlarged pores appear, known as vertical pores.

When choosing a pore-reduction procedure to improve these pores, it is important to make a careful decision because the skin in the nose area is thin. For those concerned about this, we would like to introduce pico laser for reducing pores on the nose.

Pico laser combines existing pore-laser technology with PICOSECOND technology to deliver high energy in a very short time. This works on the same principle as narrowing the front of a hose when spraying water so that the water pressure comes out stronger: shortening the time light is delivered allows stronger energy to be delivered in that shortened time.

Unlike various existing pore-reduction procedures, pico laser has many distinctive features.

First, because it achieves a time that is 1,000 times faster than existing NANOSECOND technology, the light delivery time is short, so there is less pain during treatment.

Also, because it delivers stronger light as it works faster, you can receive the effect that used to require 10 sessions in just 2 to 5 sessions, which reduces the number of treatments needed.

In addition, because the energy is focused on the dermis through the MLA lens, there is less damage to the skin, allowing you to return to daily life immediately after treatment.

Then how can pico laser reduce pores? Pico laser works by creating tiny holes beneath the epidermis to synthesize new collagen.

Through this, it not only fills in cells to provide a pore-reduction effect, but also improves pigmentation concerns such as freckles, age spots, and blemishes, and synthesizes collagen to help reduce wrinkles.

At our clinic, we hold a Cheon-hwa Day event every Tuesday and Thursday, during which all petit procedures are discounted, so you can also enjoy various financial benefits.
