“Looks like my pores are getting biggerㅠㅠ”
“When I put on makeup, it all gets stuck in my pores…”
“I know I shouldn’t squeeze them, but I keep touching them”
.

Sometimes you may feel concerned because your pores seem to be getting larger and your skin feels like it is sagging.
Especially when you put on makeup, it can get caught in the pores and make your skin look even more unkempt.
Every time that happens, you may end up exfoliating more often, squeezing your pores with your hands, or even trying to pull things out with tweezers,
but over time, it can feel like your pores have gotten even larger, leading to deeper 고민 about how to manage them.
So let’s take a look at Potenza, which is known as one of the pore care methods used in dermatology.

Why do pores get larger more easily on the nose and T-zone?
The reason pores stand out especially in the T-zone is that this area has the highest concentration of sebaceous glands.
When sebum is repeatedly secreted, the pore openings expand, and if dead skin cells or impurities build up there, the pores can become fixed in a widened state.
Also, as we age and the structure that supports elasticity within the skin weakens, the strength that holds the area around the pores decreases, making the same-sized pores look larger!
In other words, pores are not simply a sebum issue,
but the result of skin elasticity and environmental changes working together.

Main causes of gradually enlarging pores
There are several common reasons why pore concerns do not easily go away.
For skin types with a lot of sebum
when repeated secretion occurs
When pore strips or frequent extraction
continually irritate the pores
When over-exfoliation
weakens the skin barrier
Loss of elasticity due to
UV exposure
When sebum secretion becomes more active
due to lack of moisture
If you repeatedly use strong treatments just to get rid of sebum, the skin may actually produce more oil as a protective response.
If this vicious cycle continues,
pores become more noticeable over time...!

Then, what is "Potenza"?
Potenza is a dermatology treatment that uses fine needles and radiofrequency energy
to help organize the environment within the skin,
and it is one of the options considered when pores, skin texture, and decreased elasticity are concerns at the same time.
It does not stimulate only the skin surface,
but delivers energy into the dermal layer of the skin,
approaching the process by helping the skin recover on its own.
In particular, when pores have enlarged, what matters is not just covering the surface with care,
but helping the inner structure of the skin become firm again, which is why Potenza
often draws attention as a pore care method.

Why Potenza can help with
pore care
The reason pores look larger is often not simply because the holes themselves have grown,
but because the surrounding skin has stretched
and lost elasticity...!
Potenza can help improve skin texture and the environment around the pores
by providing fine stimulation inside the skin.
Also, areas with a lot of sebum, such as the nose and T-zone,
can be sensitive to stimulation depending on skin condition,
so another important factor is that the depth and intensity can be adjusted according to each person’s skin state.
Because pore condition varies greatly from person to person,
it is important to proceed with a method suited to your own skin rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Pore care habits that are good to pay attention to in daily life too
Even if you receive dermatology treatment,
if your everyday habits are not managed as well,
pores can easily become more noticeable again.
Basic lifestyle care can help^^
Avoid over-washing your face or using pore strips too often
Provide enough moisture instead of trying to remove oil
Consistently practice sun protection to help prevent loss of elasticity
Reduce the habit of frequently touching the nose or T-zone with your hands
Use gentle care about once a week instead of harsh exfoliation
For pore care, the key is not expecting big changes in a short time,
but keeping the skin environment stable!
