Why nose pore treatment is difficult

Hello, Seoul Forest Seongsu

This is SIO Clinic.

​

About why nose pore treatment is particularly difficult,

in the consultation room to patients

this is the part I explain most often.

​

Many people visit with the simple goal of “wanting to reduce pores,”

but in reality, the pores on the nose have structural characteristics

that are difficult to resolve with such a simple approach.

First, the nose is one of the facial areas

with a very high density of sebaceous glands.

Not only is sebum secretion abundant,

but the skin itself is also relatively thick.

​

​

In addition, inside the pores, not only sebum but also

various contents such as dead skin cells and keratin

accumulate complexly,

and these factors continuously

cause pore enlargement.

​

In other words, an approach that simply tries to reduce the visible pore size

is difficult to achieve a fundamental solution.

Therefore, nose pore treatment must consider three factors together.

The first is sebum, the second is the surface condition of the skin, and the third is the structure of the dermis.

If these three are not improved in balance, the treatment effect will inevitably be limited.

​

If we divide the causes of pore enlargement

more specifically,

we can explain them in three main types.

The first is sebum-type pores. This is when pores widen due to excessive sebum secretion. In this case, the approach is relatively simple; improvement is possible by controlling excessive sebum and keeping the inside of the pores clean.

​

The second is elasticity-type pores. This is a type where pores sag due to decreased collagen and loss of elasticity in the dermis due to skin aging. In this case, simple sebum removal is insufficient, and treatments that improve elasticity and induce collagen regeneration must be performed concurrently.

​

The third is scar-type pores. This occurs when tissue is damaged after acne or inflammation, leaving the pores indented. If it progresses to this stage, a completely different approach than general pore treatment is required. It essentially falls into the realm of scar treatment, and the difficulty of treatment is the highest.

​

As such, the treatment strategy varies completely depending on the type of pore, so repeating the same procedure without accurate diagnosis is not an efficient method. Especially as it progresses, i.e., to elasticity-type or scar-type, treatment becomes more difficult and takes longer.

So, how should actual treatment

be approached?

Clinically, two main directions can be considered.

One is surface improvement, and the other is dermal remodeling.

​

Fraxel-type lasers are commonly used for surface improvement.

​

This can help refine the skin surface texture and remove dead skin cells. However, in areas like the nose where sebum has a significant impact, it is difficult to expect a fundamental pore-minimizing effect by only improving the surface. In other words, it is appropriate to understand it as a supplementary role.

​

​

On the other hand, dermal remodeling is a more important aspect. Needle RF-type procedures are representative of this, inducing collagen regeneration by providing micro-stimulations to the deep layers of the skin through radiofrequency energy. This method helps structurally improve sagging pores and can be particularly effective for elasticity-type pores.

However, there is a most important prerequisite here. It is sebum control. If sebum secretion remains excessive, the effect of any laser or procedure will inevitably be limited. Therefore, in actual practice, sebum control is often prioritized over procedures. If necessary, topical medications, lifestyle adjustments, and skincare management are performed concurrently.

Also, regarding

injection treatments, which many people are curious about,

they are a relatively limited option for nose pores.

​

The skin tissue on the nose is firm and the area is narrow, making it difficult for the medication to spread evenly. Furthermore, there are limitations in directly addressing the fundamental causes of pores, and the effect relative to pain is not significant. It is also practically difficult to inject medication densely, so it is not considered a high-priority treatment.

​

Ultimately, the key to nose pore treatment

is a phased approach.

The first step is sebum control.

The second is surface management, including exfoliation and blackhead removal.

​

However, this stage only provides temporary effects, so continuous management is necessary.

And finally, laser treatment for dermal remodeling must be performed concurrently to expect more stable improvement.

​

Nose pores are not something to be “eliminated” in a short period; rather, a process of accurately analyzing the causes and improving them one by one is necessary. Instead of simply trying to reduce pore size, a customized approach that considers sebum, elasticity, and skin structure together is the most important reason.
