Could Thermage in Yeongdeungpo Also Help Reduce Pore Size?

Yeongdeungpo Thermage

Could it also help reduce pore size?

“Isn’t Thermage a lifting treatment?

I heard that someone’s pores became smaller after having it done.”

Thermage is known as a lifting treatment,

so it is understandable to be skeptical

when you hear that it reduced pore size.

In fact, the lifting effect and the pore-reducing effect

are not completely unrelated.

You may be even more curious after hearing that,

so I’ll explain why right away.

I’ll explain using relevant research papers,

so please follow along step by step.

How does Thermage reduce pore size?

Large pores are not simply

a problem caused by sebum.

When pores appear stretched,

the dermis beneath them may have lost its strength

and be unable to properly support

the pore walls.

It is similar to how the walls above

spread apart when the floor sinks.

Yeongdeungpo Thermage

Thermage heats that very foundation—

the dermis—with heat

to replenish collagen

and increase its support.

When the foundation becomes firmer,

the pore walls that had spread apart

are naturally pulled together and tightened.

It sounds plausible,

but you may be wondering whether it really works that way.

Let’s take a closer look through research papers.

How much can Thermage reduce pore size?

There is a study that actually measured

pore size after Thermage treatment.

Research paper on Yeongdeungpo Thermage and pores

The study involved 26 Asian women.

Their faces were divided in half,

with Thermage performed on only one side

and compared with the other side.

Because both sides belonged to the same person,

the skin conditions were the same,

making the differences easier to see.

Another noteworthy point

is that the pores were not assessed by eye,

but scanned in 3D so that even their “volume”

could be measured numerically.

The depth and width of the indentations

were considered together as one measurement of size.

The pore-reducing effect seen in 3D

The photo on the left shows before treatment,

the center shows four weeks later,

and the right shows 16 weeks later.

Even when viewed with the naked eye,

the pores appeared considerably smaller.

Looking at the measurements,

pore volume decreased from 4.15 to 3.25,

becoming approximately 21.7% shallower.

However, pores were not the only thing

that improved.

As the dermis was replenished,

the depth of wrinkles around the eyes and nasolabial folds

also decreased significantly over 16 weeks.

Changes in the dermis beyond pore size

The rough skin texture

was also found to become noticeably smoother.

Rather than appearing in just one area,

multiple changes associated with the dermis

appeared together.

The pore changes seen with Yeongdeungpo Thermage

could be understood as the result of the dermis

being restored and the pore walls tightening.

However, as I always mention,

please do not assume that the results of a research paper

will necessarily appear in your case as well.

Everyone’s skin is different,

so it is more appropriate to view these effects

as having a higher likelihood of occurring.

In addition, if excessive sebum production

is the cause of your pores,

addressing that cause should take priority.

It is more appropriate to view Thermage’s pore-tightening effect

as an additional effect that may be obtained

when receiving a lifting treatment.

I hope today’s information was helpful as well.
