This is a procedure note for Pore Care Products: Why At-Home Management Is Difficult and the Difference from Clinic Treatments at Gyeonggi Anyang Beomgye KKEUT Korean Clinic.

When pores become enlarged, the first thing you tend to do is check the cosmetic ingredients list.



If you search for pore-care cosmetics, you'll find countless types, making it difficult to decide what to use.



Even after looking at the many ingredient names on the list, it's hard to determine if a product is actually suitable for your pores.



Enlarged pores are often not just a surface skin problem, but a result of complex interactions between dermal layer structure and sebaceous gland activity.

The causes of enlarged pores are largely divided into three categories.



First, excessive sebum secretion can cause pore openings to become stretched and then solidify in that enlarged state.



Second, as we age, collagen and elastin decrease, weakening the support structure around the pores.



Third, accumulated UV damage thins the elastic fibers in the dermal layer, causing pores to sag and enlarge.



When these three causes overlap, each pore becomes permanently enlarged, reaching a state that is difficult to reverse with surface management alone.

Most pore-care cosmetics are designed primarily with ingredients for exfoliation or sebum absorption.



While they help to control surface shine and exfoliate, it's difficult for ingredients to reach the dermal layer.



The skin barrier does not easily allow large molecules to pass through, so even good pore-care cosmetics have clear absorption limits.



Even if cosmetic ingredients reach the epidermal layer, it is structurally difficult to alter the collagen structure in the dermal layer that supports the pores.



It is difficult to change the dermal layer structure with pore-care cosmetics alone

To fundamentally improve pores, a procedure that directly stimulates the dermal layer is required.



Potenza uses a method where tiny needles penetrate the dermal layer to create channels, then directly emit high-frequency energy from the tip of the needles.



This energy stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, working to tighten the tissue around the pores.



Unlike past fractional laser methods that ablated the surface, Potenza has evolved to minimize surface damage while intensively stimulating the dermal layer.

Potenza is applied not only to enlarged pores but also to improve acne scars, fine wrinkles, and dull skin tone.



In cases of overactive sebaceous glands, it also helps reduce the occurrence of skin problems by regulating the sebaceous glands themselves.



Needle depth can be adjusted from 0.5 millimeters to 3.5 millimeters, allowing for customized treatment for each area.



For areas with dull skin tone or uneven texture, the needle depth is set shallow; for areas requiring deep tissue improvement like scars, it's set deeper, with the strategy varying by area.

To experience the effects of pore improvement, cumulative management is more important than a single session.



Generally, it is recommended to undergo 3 to 5 treatment sessions at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.



Maintaining intervals according to the skin regeneration cycle allows for natural collagen buildup.



If treatment intervals are too short, skin irritation can accumulate, so it's important to adhere to the regeneration cycle.

Immediately after the procedure, redness and pinpoint bleeding may appear.



This usually subsides within one to two days, but depending on skin condition, it can last for about a week.



After the procedure, apply sunscreen diligently and it's best to temporarily avoid activities that raise body heat, such as saunas or strenuous exercise.



Adequate moisturizing helps in the recovery of the skin barrier.



For pore management, changes occur only when stimulation reaches the dermal layer.

If you've felt the limitations of pore care with cosmetics, it's time to consider the detailed aspects of the procedure.



Even with the same Potenza device, each clinic differs in tip types, treatment density, and shot count operation methods.



Even when using the same equipment, results can vary significantly depending on the operating method.



kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic meticulously designs each of these detailed processes.

Frequently Asked Questions


Q. Can applying pore-minimizing cosmetics consistently alone reduce pores?


A. While pore-minimizing cosmetics can help with surface exfoliation and sebum control, they are unlikely to induce structural changes in the dermal layer. Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic recommends combining pore-minimizing cosmetics with treatments.


Q. Can I manage my pores after receiving Potenza treatment without using pore-minimizing cosmetics?


A. Even after improving the structure with treatment, surface care is separate, so we recommend continuing to use pore-minimizing cosmetics for maintenance.


Q. Is it okay to use pore-minimizing cosmetics and receive treatment at the same time?


A. Yes, pore-minimizing cosmetics and dermal layer treatments are not substitutes for each other but rather complementary care.


Q. I'm worried about pain. Can I receive treatment instead of using pore-minimizing cosmetics?


A. The procedure is performed after anesthesia, so the pain is tolerable. The only difference is that it addresses issues not resolved by pore-minimizing cosmetics through dermal stimulation, and the burden is not significant.


Q. How often should I change my pore-minimizing cosmetics?


A. Separately from treatments, it's best to use cosmetics for about 3 months, observe the reaction, and then decide whether to change them. Choosing pore-minimizing cosmetics as part of your post-treatment maintenance plan is also effective.
