About Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores are caused by clogged pores, skin sagging, dryness, and the like. They are often noticeable on the nose and the inner cheeks. If they bother you, thoroughly remove the dirt from the pores and also take measures against ultraviolet light, such as adequate moisturizing and applying sunscreen.
The Effects of Pore Concerns
Concerns such as enlarged pores, dark spots, and roughness can greatly affect the impression of the skin as a whole. It is not uncommon for situations that bother you in daily life to increase, such as uneven makeup application or sebum tending to surface as time passes.
Also, because the condition of the pores relates to the texture and cleanliness of the skin, it can affect your overall appearance. Especially when problems concentrate in conspicuous areas such as the cheeks and around the nose, some people find themselves bothered every time they look in the mirror.
The condition of the pores involves a complex interplay of various factors, such as the balance of sebum secretion, the accumulation of keratin, the effects of ultraviolet light, and the loss of firmness with age. For this reason, even when you try to deal with it on your own judgment, you may not get the change you hope for.
If pores bother you, it is important first to accurately understand the condition of your skin. At our clinic, we check the condition of your pores and your skin type and then propose an appropriate treatment. For those who wish, a skin analysis with the NeoVoir is also available.

Dermapen 4 (microneedling)
A treatment that makes holes in the skin with fine needles to deliver agents. By promoting the skin’s collagen production, it aims to improve the pores.
Microbotox
Microbotox is a treatment in which a botulinum toxin preparation is injected in small amounts into the superficial layers of the skin. Unlike an ordinary botox injection, its main aim is not to suppress muscle movement but to suppress sebum and sweat secretion, thereby improving enlarged pores, oily shine, and fine wrinkles. It is especially suited to those bothered by pores on the nose and cheeks and to those with oily skin.
Mesona-J (electroporation, mesoporation)
The skin normally has a barrier, so even when you apply serums and the like they do not penetrate easily. With the Mesona-J, agents are delivered by making holes in the skin electrically. The Mesona-J Acne course for acne and pores delivers a vitamin C derivative, tranexamic acid, and a vitamin A derivative, which have anti-inflammatory and turnover-promoting effects, into the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pores
Q: Will enlarged pores heal on their own?
A: Reviewing your lifestyle and skincare can improve them to some extent, but when age or skin type is involved, medical treatment may be necessary. Measures appropriate to the condition are important.
Q: Are dark spots in the pores dirt?
A: The cause of dark spots is often the oxidation of sebum and keratin plugs, which is different from mere dirt. Care is needed because forcibly trying to remove them can actually widen the pores.
Q: How long does it take for pore treatment to show results?
A: It varies with the treatment and the condition of your skin, but many people gradually feel a change after several sessions. Continuous treatment is effective.
Q: Is pore treatment painful?
A: It varies by type of procedure, but some treatments are painful. For those who wish, we make an effort to minimize it by using a topical anesthetic. If you have any concerns, please consult us in advance.
Q: I don’t know which treatment is right for me.
A: The suitable treatment differs depending on the condition of your pores and your skin type. At our clinic, we check the condition of your skin at the time of examination and recommend a method that fits your goals.
