Understanding the Characteristics of Butterfly-Zone Skin at a Seongdong-gu Dermatology Clinic: What Are the Benefits of Combining LaseMD Ultra FX, Potenza Pumping Tip, and Juvelook?

Butterfly-Zone Pores & Elasticity

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Seongdong-gu!

Maintaining smooth, refined skin texture often becomes increasingly challenging with age. In particular, the area where the sides of the nose meet the front cheeks can show more prominent pores and reduced elasticity even with minor lapses in care. Many people express concern about noticeably enlarged pores and skin texture that sags downward. Let’s take a detailed look at the clear causes of these changes and the comprehensive treatment methods that can improve them systematically.

Butterfly-Zone Pores & Elasticity

Characteristics of the Butterfly Zone

The butterfly-shaped area extending around the nose and toward the front cheeks is particularly prone to pore concerns compared with other areas of the face. This area has well-developed sebaceous glands and produces a relatively large amount of oil. It is also directly affected by gravity, so age-related skin sagging can appear more quickly. As excess sebum is excreted, the openings of the pores gradually widen, and as aging progresses, the supporting structures surrounding them weaken, changing their shape.

Pores that initially have a round shape gradually become elongated vertical pores as they encounter reduced elasticity. This is not only a surface-level issue but also a sign that the supporting strength of the dermal layer has weakened. Therefore, organizing this area requires comprehensive regenerative care that targets both widened horizontal pores and vertically elongated pores that have lost elasticity in order to encourage appropriate changes:)

LaseMD Ultra FX

LaseMD Ultra FX can be considered as a method for simultaneously promoting surface refinement and regeneration of the dermal layer. LaseMD Ultra FX is classified as a non-ablative fractional laser that uses 1,565 nm erbium-glass energy. It offers precise control that delivers microscopic columns of heat deep into the dermal layer without removing the outer stratum corneum, giving it the advantage of relatively quick return to daily activities!

The delivered energy creates microscopic thermal damage within the dermal layer, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response. During this process, fibroblasts are activated and begin synthesizing new collagen and elastin. As the dermal structure becomes more densely replenished, the borders of enlarged pores tighten, and uneven, rough skin texture can be smoothed and refined.

• Collagen remodeling in the dermal layer

• Restoration of elasticity around pore borders

• Improved skin texture / Short downtime after treatment

Potenza Pumping Tip

To tighten elasticity in the dermal layer more intensively, Potenza treatment, which combines microneedles and radiofrequency energy, may be an alternative. Potenza involves inserting microscopic needles into the skin and releasing radiofrequency current from their tips to induce tissue contraction and regeneration. In particular, the Pumping Tip, frequently used for pore improvement, has a unique structural design that allows it to provide radiofrequency stimulation and deliver ingredients simultaneously.

When the needles enter and then exit the skin, momentary negative pressure forms on the surface. This force pushes the active product previously applied to the skin’s surface into the dermis through the channels created by the needles. Along with the thermal stimulation from the radiofrequency energy, it delivers active ingredients evenly to the dermal layer, potentially accelerating the skin-regeneration process more than a single treatment method.

• Tightening throughout the dermal layer

• Increased efficiency of active-ingredient delivery

• Simultaneous effects of microneedle stimulation and radiofrequency energy

Combining Juvelook with the Pumping Tip

Juvelook is a representative product that can show notable synergy when combined with the Potenza Pumping Tip. Juvelook is a collagen-regeneration-stimulating product composed of polylactide and hyaluronic acid, with a fine porous lattice structure. When Juvelook is evenly placed along the dermal interface and into deeper areas using the negative pressure of the Pumping Tip, the injected ingredients act as signals that stimulate cellular regeneration!

Polylactide particles that penetrate the skin gradually break down over several months while continuously stimulating fibroblasts in the dermis. Rather than temporarily filling spaces with an external material, this process encourages the skin to produce its own collagen, filling the spaces left by enlarged pores with natural tissue. As the texture becomes denser, pore size may naturally decrease, while moisture in the dermis is also replenished, helping the skin achieve a healthier-looking tone:)

• Improvement of indented pore areas

• Pore tightening through collagen regeneration

• Restoration of the thickness of the thinned dermis itself

• Improvement of the oil-moisture balance in the butterfly zone

Synergy of Three Treatments

To address the complex combination of pores and reduced elasticity in the butterfly zone, a program combining the LaseMD Ultra FX, Potenza, and Juvelook treatments mentioned above may be an ideal approach. Because each of the three elements acts at a different depth and through a different mechanism, their combination can produce comprehensive synergy. While LaseMD Ultra FX refines the texture of the upper dermis, Potenza helps improve elasticity in the mid-to-lower dermis, and Juvelook replenishes collagen from within.

This triple-combination treatment provides a foundation for overcoming the limitations of pore reduction and sustaining improvement more consistently. As structural deficiencies both inside and outside the skin are addressed simultaneously, enlarged pores can return toward their proper position and smooth skin texture can be maintained for longer. Please remember that careful treatment tailored to each person’s skin thickness and current pore condition is important.
