Hello.
This is Oun Clinic Samseong Branch, your dedicated skin care clinic.
One of the questions we often hear during consultations with patients is, "Doctor, why do pores keep getting larger?"
Pores are a common concern for many patients. When pores become enlarged, the face can look as if it is full of holes, and makeup does not sit well, making it a serious concern.
In particular, pores are one of the hardest skin concerns to improve. Unlike pigmentation, they cannot be destroyed, and unlike scars, they cannot be directly filled in.
So, the way to improve them is to prevent pore enlargement and help tighten them.
At Oun Clinic, we actively use Sylfirm X.
Today, we would like to look at how this device can help reduce pore concerns.
Why Do Pores Keep Getting Larger?

It is true that pores can be very bothersome, but they are an important part of the skin that cannot and should not be removed.
That is because pores are the channels through which the skin’s sebaceous glands release their secretions to the outside.
However, because they are often noticeably visible on facial skin, especially in the T-zone, many people worry a great deal about enlarged pores.
There are many reasons why pores become larger.
When the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands is excessive, pores tend to stretch more easily. This is because sebum is released through the pores, causing them to expand. This phenomenon is especially noticeable in people with oily skin.
Aging is also one of the main reasons pores become larger.
As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, which help maintain skin elasticity, decreases. As a result, the skin sags and the tissue around the pores loses elasticity, making the pores appear larger.
In addition to these two factors, pores can also become clogged when dead skin cells and sebum do not drain properly, and strong cleansing or scrubbing can further worsen pore concerns.

Since pores are an organ that cannot be removed, it is important to prevent them from enlarging and create an effect that tightens them firmly. For this, various procedures can be a solution.
At Oun Clinic, we recommend improvement through Sylfirm X.
Sylfirm X is a cutting-edge technology that combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedles, delivering energy safely deep into the skin to help improve scars.
By minimizing damage to the skin’s surface while promoting regeneration and collagen production, it can smooth uneven scars and pores and improve skin texture.
Through the combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, this technology helps support fundamental skin regeneration. It delivers thermal energy precisely to the target area through fine needles whose depth can be adjusted from 0.3 mm to 4.0 mm.
In particular, the reason we recommend Sylfirm X is that, unlike conventional superficial lasers, it targets the papillary dermis beneath the skin, allowing for not only pore reduction but also potential combined effects such as improving redness and reducing pigmentation.
It is difficult to achieve the desired pore-reducing effect through simple energy delivery alone.

Because each patient has a different reason for enlarged pores and a different skin condition, the procedure cannot be applied in the same way for everyone.
It is very important to perform the procedure in the way that best suits the skin condition.
At Oun Clinic, we provide an optimal treatment plan after an accurate diagnostic process.
In particular, rather than relying only on visual inspection, we suggest treatment after a more precise evaluation using skin diagnostic equipment.
Based on this, we carefully adjust the device settings. Sylfirm X can be used in two modes, PW mode and CW mode, so it is very important to set the device according to the diagnostic process.
PW mode is suitable for treatments for pigmentation, facial redness, and vascular lesions, while CW mode generates thermal coagulation at temperatures above 60°C, creating heat from the epidermis to the dermis and making it effective for regeneration, tightening, lifting, and scar treatment.
At Oun Clinic, CW1 and CW2 modes are used for tightening, CW3 for body tightening, and CW4 for scar treatment.
In addition, PW1 and PW2 are used for the purpose of improving pigmentation, melasma, and facial redness, while PW3 is used for inflammation caused by rosacea and vascular dilation, and PW4 is used for inflammatory acne.
If you have combined concerns along with pore issues, you should definitely go through the diagnostic process and receive treatment using the 8 modes appropriately in order to achieve the results you want.
Because enlarged pores have many possible causes, not only Sylfirm X but also various other treatments may be necessary. In addition, active care from patients to help prevent this is also very important.
If you visit Oun Clinic, we will explain Sylfirm X, as well as various other treatments and care methods, in detail.
