What Are the Methods for Pore Elasticity and Sebum Control?

"I don’t skip basic skin care and I carefully wash my face too,

but my face gets very oily,

and my pores are enlarged, so I’m worried..."

Even if you manage your skin fairly carefully in daily life, many people may still wonder if they are doing things right when they see excessive oiliness (the so-called "greasy oil") and enlarged pores.

In such cases, there is a high chance that you need to look beneath the skin rather than at the skin’s surface.

So today, let’s take a look at how to manage enlarged pores and excessive sebum secretion, which can be considered the root of acne.

Seokchon Station Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) How to Manage Enlarged Pores

First, to understand why pores enlarge, we need to know a little about skin structure.

The skin is broadly divided into the epidermis and the dermis, and in the dermis around the pores, protein fibers called collagen and elastin are woven together like a net to support the skin.

If these fibers are sufficient, the pore walls also remain firm, but as these components decrease due to aging or pores become clogged due to excessive sebum secretion, the pores enlarge.

In the case of cosmetics, most of them only reach the epidermis, so there is a limit to creating new collagen deep in the dermis.

That is why a method is needed to stimulate the dermis and induce collagen regeneration to narrow pores, and Pico Fraxel and Potenza procedures can be considered.

Pico Fraxel is a procedure that delivers laser energy for an extremely short time in picosecond (one trillionth of a second) units to stimulate the dermis.

During the skin’s recovery process after receiving the stimulation, it is induced to produce collagen and elastin.

As a result, the area around the pores becomes firmer and fuller, and the pores can appear reduced.

Sylfirm X is a procedure that delivers radiofrequency energy into the dermis through microneedles to provide stimulation.

When the needles reach the dermis, radiofrequency energy is released and heat is generated.

This creates a controlled thermal injury inside the skin, prompting the skin to heal itself.

In the process, components that make up the skin are produced, and the pores become tightened.

Seokchon Station Dermatology (Department: Dermatology) How to Manage Excessive Sebum Secretion

Before explaining how to manage sebum, let’s briefly talk about why oily skin needs pore and sebum care together.

No matter how firmly you tighten the pores with collagen, if too much oil keeps being produced, they will inevitably widen again.

If sebum production is high, the exit needs to become wider for it to be discharged, so the pores naturally have no choice but to enlarge.

Therefore, for people with high sebum production, it can be more effective to address pore and sebum issues together for longer-lasting results.

Now, let’s explain how excessive sebum secretion can be managed.

The reason excessive sebum secretion is a problem is not simply that the face looks oily; it is because it can cause acne.

If acne keeps recurring even after washing well and taking care of the skin, you can consider managing it by controlling the sebaceous glands that produce sebum.

In that case, Gold PTT may be helpful.

Gold PTT applies gold nanoparticles to the skin and then uses ultrasound to deeply penetrate them into the sebaceous glands inside the pores.

After that, a laser is applied, and the gold particles selectively absorb the light and generate heat.

This heat acts primarily on the sebaceous glands, reducing their size and suppressing their activity.

As the sebaceous glands become smaller, sebum production decreases, helping control shine and significantly lowering the frequency of acne.

Today, we looked together at methods for managing pore elasticity and excessive sebum secretion at Seokchon Station Dermatology (Department: Dermatology).

To manage pore and sebum problems, it may be more helpful to address what is happening inside the skin, where the problem begins, rather than focusing on the skin’s surface.

However, since these are procedures performed on your own skin, we hope you will receive a thorough consultation beforehand and undergo treatment at a place that offers a method suited to your skin condition and concerns.
