Causes of Pore Problems to Know Before Seeing a Cosmetic Dermatologist in Hiroshima

Even if we talk about pore problems in a nutshell, theThe appearance and underlying causes vary widely.First, let's gain a better understanding of pore types. Here are the causes and characteristics of each type.
■Open pores] Sagging skin and excessive sebum secretion
Open pores" are round, open pores that are often found on the cheeks and around the nose. There are two main causes.The first is "sagging.As collagen and elastin, which maintain skin firmness, decrease due to aging and UV damage, pores sag downward and open more easily.
Another cause is "excessive sebum secretion.Dry skin also leads to the appearance of pores due to texture disorder. To compensate for the dryness, excessive sebum is secreted, which can lead to a vicious cycle of further pore opening.
■Clogged pores] Keratinous plugs with a mixture of sebum and dead skin cells.
Symptoms such as small white lumps appearing from pores and rough skin when touched are characteristic of "clogged pores. These white lumps are called "keratin plugs" and affect the appearance of the pores by blocking them.
The horny plugs,It is a mixture of dead skin cells covering the surface of the skin and excess sebum secreted in excess.Due to a disruption in turnover, keratin that would normally be naturally peeled off accumulates inside the pores, and sebum also accumulates, forming keratin plugs as if they were lids on the pores.
■Blackhead Pores] Oxidation of keratin plugs and deposition of melanin pigmentation and senescence
The condition in which pores appear as black spots is "blackhead pores. Blackheads are especially common around the nose and are sometimes referred to as "strawberry nose. There are two main mechanisms involved in blackheads.
The first is "oxidation of keratin plugs.Angular plugs clogging pores oxidize when exposed to air, turning black and becoming more prominent.
The second is "melanin pigmentation.When melanin is produced in the skin at the edge of pores due to irritation from ultraviolet rays or friction, it appears black in the shape of a ring due to hyperpigmentation.There are cases where

Introducing a typical pore treatment in Hiroshima.

For pore problems that are difficult to resolve through self-care, specialized treatment at a cosmetic dermatology clinic may be effective. At Yayoi Clinic, a cosmetic dermatology clinic in Hiroshima, we offer a variety of pore treatments tailored to the skin concerns of each individual client. We have picked out five typical treatment options for those who wish to see a cosmetic dermatologist in Hiroshima and begin pore treatment.
■Advatex Laser2Pore-refining using two wavelengths
The Advatex laser is a multifunctional laser device with two different wavelengths: the first, 589nm, is unique in that it can approach acne bacteria (porphyrins) in the pores, while the second, 1319nm, promotes collagen growth in the dermis while controlling sebum secretion. The result is tighter skin with improved elasticity and firmness. It is also easier to approach open pores, which are also noticeable due to sagging skin.
It is suitable for those suffering from pores who are considering cosmetic dermatology in Hiroshima, as well as for those who wish to undergo acne scar treatment.
■Potenza|HFradio frequency (RF)Stimulate collagen production with
In Potenza, a microscopic needle is inserted into the skin and radiofrequency (RF) is irradiated through the needle tip. Similar to Dermapen4, this treatment activates the skin's natural wound-healing ability. At the same time, the thermal energy of the RF stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. These synergistic effects can address a wide range of skin concerns. As for pore problems, the reconstruction of the dermal layer changes the skin's firmness and "open pores" are tightened.
In addition, the drug delivery system is a major feature of this system, which allows drugs to penetrate deep into the skin evenly. This ensures that the desired ingredients are delivered to the skin efficiently.
■Peeling|Skin turnover is regulated by agents
Peeling is a treatment in which a special agent is applied to the skin to gently remove dead skin cells and dirt clogged in the pores. The horny layer of the skin is softened, and the turnover, which tends to be disrupted, is easily adjusted to a normal cycle. This treatment is particularly suited for "clogged pores" caused by excessive sebum secretion and "blackhead pores" caused by oxidized keratin plugs.
Another feature of peels is their relatively short downtime, although it varies slightly from drug to drug. Regular maintenance treatments can address the causes of problems such as acne, dullness, and rough skin, in addition to pores.
■TriBeam Premium|Smoothing skin texture with heat effect and toning
TriBeam Premium, a laser device that brings the skin closer to the impression of a well-defined texture, can approach open pores and blackheads. The thermal effect of the onboard Gen Technique™ function promotes collagen production in the skin, which tightens pores and improves skin texture. This helps to tighten pores and improve skin texture for a smooth skin texture.
The PTP mode, a specialized toning function, can also be used to treat blackheads in pores. This treatment is designed to deliver sufficient heat with pinpoint accuracy in a short period of time, and is also designed to be gentle on the skin. In addition to pore problems, it also works on blemishes.
■Hydrafacial|Utilizing water flow to remove dirt from pores
HydraFacial is a peeling treatment that combines cleaning with water flow and suction of dirt. It can approach "clogged pores" as well as "blackhead pores" caused by oxidation of keratin plugs. It is characterized by a swirling water stream containing cosmetic ingredients. It gently removes dead skin cells and dirt deep inside pores while moisturizing the skin. The beauty liquid is introduced at the same time as cleaning, so the user can expect not only pore care, but also a combined change in the skin, such as improved overall skin elasticity and luster.
