Hello.

This is Jfeel Clinic, where we help create your most beautiful look.😊

When we meet people concerned about their pores, we often hear comments like these.

“I even tried Aqua Peel, but they still look the same.”

“My blackheads have decreased, but my pores still look large.”

“When I apply makeup, the pores on my nose look even more noticeable.”

Today, we will look at the reason many people wonder about:

‘Why do my pores still look the same even after removing sebum?’

Why do pores still look the same after removing only sebum?

There is more than one reason pores may appear enlarged.

Typical factors include:

✔ Sebum

✔ Impurities

✔ Changes in skin elasticity

These and other factors may affect the appearance of pores together.

If pores are clogged by accumulated sebum and impurities, removing them and helping the skin look cleaner may be beneficial.

On the other hand, if the skin around the pores has lost elasticity and the openings have become wider, the pores may continue to look enlarged even after sebum is removed.

My blackheads have decreased, so why do my pores still look the same?

Although blackheads may decrease, there are cases where pores still look wide when viewed in the mirror.

This may be because the condition of the skin around the pores can also affect their appearance, not just what is inside the pores.

Therefore, in some cases, care that considers skin elasticity may be needed along with sebum management.

How is pore care performed?

This program is designed to consider both sebum removal and care for the skin around the pores.

① Aqua Peel

A treatment that gently removes sebum and impurities from inside the pores to help refine the skin.

② Potenza Pore Care (Konabizon)

A treatment that delivers radiofrequency energy to the skin around the pores to stimulate skin elasticity.

③ Regeneration Laser

A treatment to soothe the skin after the procedure.

In other words,

this is a program that considers not only sebum removal but also the factors that make pores appear enlarged.

What is Potenza Pore Care?

When looking into pore care, many people come across a treatment called ‘Potenza.’

So what kind of treatment is Potenza?

Potenza is a device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin.

For pore care, it is used not simply to remove sebum, but to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin around the pores with the aim of stimulating skin elasticity.

In other words,

if Aqua Peel is a treatment that cleans and refines the inside of the pores, Potenza can be easily understood as a process that cares for the skin around the pores.

Why is Potenza used for pore care?

Many people say:

“I thought removing sebum would make my pores smaller, too.”

However, in reality, there are cases where pores continue to look enlarged even after the sebum has been removed.

This may be because the condition of the skin around the pores can affect their appearance more than what is inside the pores.

Taking this into consideration, Potenza is used to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin around the pores and stimulate skin elasticity.

That is why it is often performed together with sebum-removal care rather than as a standalone treatment.
