Hello, this is Raon Dermatology Clinic at Wangsimni Station!
There are days when the skin texture around the nose and the front cheeks feels especially rough, or makeup does not go on smoothly, leaving you worried. Even though you wash your face as usual and care for your skin carefully, pores can still look especially prominent because a combination of skin structure and environmental factors is at work! This area has active sebum secretion and is also a place where elasticity tends to decrease easily, so if care is neglected even a little, it can easily give the impression of enlarged pores. Since changes in the butterfly zone can affect the overall impression of the face, it is important to identify the exact cause and respond appropriately.
The butterfly zone refers to the area that includes both cheeks around the nose, and the name comes from its shape, which resembles a butterfly with its wings spread. Because it is located at the center of the face, it is also the area where the gaze falls first. Compared with other areas, it has a high concentration of sebaceous glands, making it prone to buildup of waste and blackheads. Since it is one of the most visually noticeable areas, even small changes can feel significant!
The main reasons the channels in the butterfly zone widen can be broadly divided into two patterns. One is the enlargement of the channel as excess sebum is released, and the other is the aging process in which the elastic fibers that support the skin lose strength over time and begin to sag. In particular, when the temperature rises, the skin temperature rises as well, sebum secretion increases sharply, and the pore openings become easier to open. When this happens repeatedly, the skin texture gradually becomes rougher, and the pores take on a vertically elongated, sagging shape.
<Why Butterfly Zone Pores Get Larger>
Increased sebum secretion / widened channels
Blackheads, waste buildup / enlarged pore openings
Decreased elastic fibers / sagging pore walls
To prevent butterfly zone pores from expanding any further, daily care should come first. Proper cleansing is essential as a basic step, right~? If you use a cleansing oil and gently massage for about one minute, it helps dissolve hardened sebum and blackheads inside the pores without irritation. After that, it is important to cleanse again with a water-based face wash to thoroughly remove any residue and keep waste from remaining on the skin. The process should first reduce physical friction on the skin while still effectively removing contaminants!
After washing your face, you need a step that lowers the skin temperature to an appropriate level and provides enough moisture. Heat is a major culprit that promotes sebum secretion, so it is good to use a pack containing soothing ingredients to cool the skin down, and then apply a sufficient amount of moisturizer to balance oil and moisture. However, if the pores have already structurally stretched, noticeable improvement may be difficult to expect with home care alone! In such cases, it is better to combine skin boosters or laser treatments.
When trying to improve the internal skin environment and restore elasticity, skin boosters can be an effective option. Rejuto is a skin booster composed of human-derived ECM ingredients. It helps repair damaged skin tissue and strengthens the skin barrier! As the skin’s own ability to regain health improves, the loosely relaxed tissues around the pores can regain strength and be filled in more densely. This is a method that focuses on boosting the skin’s natural condition rather than creating artificial changes.
Rejuran Healer is also excellent at regenerating tired skin tissue and returning it to a healthy state. While balancing oil and moisture, it also thickens the dermis to fundamentally strengthen skin elasticity. Through this process, the pore openings naturally become narrower, and the overall skin texture becomes smoother:) In particular, it is very useful for long-term care because it helps increase the self-recovery ability of thin and sensitive butterfly zone skin.
The combination of Mirajet and Juvelook, which allows precise drug delivery, shows strong synergy in solving deeper concerns in the butterfly zone. Mirajet is a device that sprays medication evenly into the dermis using strong pressure without using needles, and the microscopic physical stimulation created during the process strongly induces the skin’s regenerative response. Its key feature is that it can deliver the necessary ingredients deep into the skin without causing major damage to the surface.
When Juvelook, which induces collagen production, is added, the pore-reducing effect becomes even greater! This is because the injected Juvelook ingredients help remodel collagen and elastin within the dermis, tightening the loosened walls more firmly. As the wound-healing response caused by microstimulation combines with the action of the medication, pores gradually become smaller and the skin texture becomes denser. Over time, the skin’s elasticity improves and a smoother texture can be maintained.

Lastly, Lumenis’s ResurFX is designed as a non-ablative fractional method that does not remove the skin surface, helping you return to daily life quickly. Unlike conventional Fraxel procedures that damaged the outer skin and formed large scabs, ResurFX protects the epidermis while delivering energy through it, so there is less concern about oozing or severe pain after treatment. It is a suitable option for those who want to continue managing their skin without major disruption to a busy daily routine!
The laser beam of ResurFX creates microscopic thermal zones in the dermis, stimulating the surrounding normal tissue to quickly heal the treated area. During this process, aged collagen contracts and new elastin synthesis becomes active, gradually improving enlarged pores and fine wrinkles. In conclusion, pore care depends more on a combination of consistent patience and appropriate treatment than on short-term results. Please keep this in mind and start with proper care:)
