Pore reduction
At PHD Dermatology, we identify the complex causes of enlarged pores and design personalized programs accordingly.
Since enlarged pores do not shrink, it is necessary to diagnose the degree of enlargement and elasticity of the pores and provide appropriate treatment.
PHD Dermatology, your skin doctor with over 20 years of experience providing pore types and treatment methods.
Even for the same pore condition, various customized treatments tailored to skin type and the cause are necessary to address enlarged pores and improve skin elasticity.

1:1 customized plan based on skin type
Minimize skin damage and maximize effectiveness
Clear skin is as important as facial features
Among them, what determines the clear skin preferred by people of all ages and genders is none other than clear skin without pores.
Many people confuse pores with sweat pores, but sweat is secreted by sweat glands and exits the skin through sweat pores, which is completely different from pores. Skin with enlarged pores not only looks unclean but, more importantly, appears dirty due to its uneven surface; furthermore, bacteria can easily invade the widened hair follicles, making it prone to skin problems.
Reasons why pores widen
Excessive sebum secretion
Due to the influence of puberty hormones, the sebaceous glands increase sebum production, secreting it to the skin surface and causing pores to widen.
Loss of elasticity due to aging
Skin elasticity decreases and the ability to tighten pores diminishes, causing the pores to widen.
Harsh home care that repeats a vicious cycle
The extraction method, which forcibly pulls out hardened sebum, causes a vicious cycle where pores gradually widen and sebum accumulates again, severely irritating the skin.
#ExcessiveSebum? #Aging? What is the cause of my enlarged pores?
The first step to shrinking pores! You must properly identify your skin problems to see a difference.

Using continuous light source LEDs for more objective and accurate skin measurements
With four light sources, all implemented using LEDs, the effects before and after the procedure can be verified through images showing evenly distributed light.
By using a total of four light sources—UV light, polarized light, normal light, and gloss light—it is possible to integrate data captured from these four sources to accurately analyze various skin problems objectively.
Is it possible to reduce enlarged pores?
The condition of pores varies depending on individual skin type and sebum secretion levels, and shrinking enlarged pores is a delicate procedure. However, if diagnosed by a dermatologist knowledgeable about the skin and treated according to the volume, depth, and size of your pores, the effects will be long-lasting, allowing you to experience satisfactory pore improvement.
PHD Dermatology Pore Reduction Points Recommended by a Dermatologist
If treatment is not performed to completely remove sebum from the pores and induce collagen synthesis, there is a possibility that sebum and dead skin cells will accumulate again in the spaces where sebum was removed, potentially clogging the pores. Conversely, if treatment is performed solely to narrow the pores through collagen synthesis without simultaneously removing and suppressing sebum, the effectiveness will inevitably be limited. Therefore, if you have excessive sebum secretion, recurrence can be prevented by combining pore reduction with sebum secretion suppression treatment.
01
Reduction of excessive sebaceous gland activity | Acne treatment + Pore treatment + Sebum secretion control treatment
02
Increased collagen formation in the dermis around pores | Combined treatment with anti-aging procedures (laser + skin booster, etc.)
03
Strengthening a compromised skin barrier | A procedure that supplies nutrients to the skin to keep it young and healthy.
We provide customized solutions using lasers and treatment methods tailored to pore shape, utilizing lasers that are excellent for improving and maintaining pore depth.
Enlarged pores do not improve over time; in fact, as collagen decreases with skin aging, they can become more prominent. Therefore, to induce a regenerative response and plump up pores that cannot recover naturally, physical stimulation exceeding a certain threshold is required. Since this stimulation can be controlled with a laser, appropriate laser treatment is necessary.
principles of laser treatment
01. Enlarged pores
Pores become enlarged and sagging due to decreased pore elasticity caused by aging
02. Stimulation of the collagen layer
Remodeling the collagen layer (dermis) that has been deformed due to enlarged pores through laser treatment
03. Pore reduction and elasticity improvement
As the old collagen in the stimulated collagen layer (dermis) contracts and regenerates, pore elasticity improves, and enlarged pores are reduced.
04. Maintain improved condition
Maintains a semi-permanently improved state through continuous collagen production over 3 months

PHD Dermatology Pore Reduction Laser Program
We provide customized treatment using various laser medical devices tailored to each patient's skin condition.
Microneedles penetrate the skin and effectively deliver RF energy to the deep skin layers.
Promotes the regeneration of elastic fibers deep within the skin, Potenza RF
The Potenza laser is a procedure that improves skin texture by inserting micro-needles into the dermis and delivering RF (radio frequency) energy to form coagulation zones in cellular tissue while minimizing damage to the epidermis, thereby promoting the regeneration of new collagen. With various micro-needle tips, customized treatments for conditions such as enlarged pores, scars, acne, rosacea, and redness are possible, and additionally, improvements in fine lines and skin elasticity can be expected.
Potenza's pumping tip adheres to the skin to create a vacuum, allowing micro-needles to penetrate the skin and deliver high-frequency energy to the target layer. It then operates on the principle that the skin booster penetrates the space left by the needles using the force of air (positive pressure).
Promotes the regeneration of collagen fibers deep within the skin
Remodel your skin for a healthy look! Genesis
Genesis Lifting is a procedure that utilizes a 1064nm wavelength laser beam to penetrate the skin surface and stimulate fibroblasts in the dermis to promote collagen production. It is effective for pore reduction, wrinkle improvement, and skin elasticity, as well as providing overall skin improvement. Additionally, it features a built-in gas cooling system that protects the skin surface, significantly reducing the heat sensation and pain experienced by the patient during the procedure.
A procedure that reduces the discomfort associated with conventional Fraxel treatments, such as redness, scabbing, and hyperpigmentation.
Say goodbye to conventional Fraxel! The new trend in pore treatment, PicoFraxel
Piccolo Premium is equipped with a special MLA fractional handpiece to implement PicoFraxel. PicoFraxel using the MLA fractional handpiece forms fine bubbles deep within the dermis without damaging the skin surface, inducing skin regeneration in the dermal layer. Subsequently, the skin rapidly stimulates collagen formation to repair damage; during this process, enlarged pores narrow, and overall skin issues such as acne scars, fine lines, and skin elasticity are improved.
Reduces sebum secretion and promotes collagen production in the dermis.
Microneedle insertion into the dermis layer of the skin, Silfirm X
SYLFIRM X utilizes RF to deliver high-frequency heat to desired areas deep within the skin, helping to regulate unnecessary sebum production and reduce breakouts. With a thinner procedure reaching a depth of 300 micrometers, it reaches not only the shallow surface but also the deeper layers of the skin, aiding in the improvement of the ECM (structural proteins such as collagen and elastin, as well as growth factors) environment from the papillary dermis to the epidermis. Furthermore, as a 300-micron procedure that does not require anesthesia, it causes minimal irritation to the skin, resulting in rapid recovery and allowing for a quick return to daily life after treatment.
The Ultra-fine Needle Thread Firm X Cell Mode induces the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermis layer of the skin, providing lifting, pore reduction, tightening, and skin texture improvement effects.
Reaches deep into the skin to the sebaceous glands and reduces their size.
Overall sebum control toning mode, NeoBeam
NeoBeam, utilizing 1450nm wavelength energy, is the first laser in Korea equipped with a 10mm lens that allows for wider and deeper penetration to target sebaceous glands. By irradiating the laser directly into the sebaceous glands, it reduces the primary causes of acne. Additionally, it instantly cools the skin surface to protect it from burns or pain and helps the energy reach the precise target point.
By applying the DCD cooling system, it alleviates pain during the procedure, protects the skin surface, and delivers energy to the target area, the sebaceous glands. Since the temperature is only warm enough to be felt, unlike other laser treatments, the procedure can be performed without local anesthesia.
Skin care that is even better when combined with pore laser treatment!
A skin booster for pore reduction that restores the regenerative capacity of collagen elastic cells within the dermis.
Since enlarged pores are caused by a combination of factors, including weakened pore wall elasticity, reduced dermal volume components, decreased regenerative capacity, and impaired oil-water balance, it stimulates fibroblasts and growth factors to improve the elasticity of sagging pore walls and enhances skin-boosting capabilities.
Rejuran, improving damaged skin with ingredients extracted from salmon
Rejuran Healer helps regenerate the skin by improving complexion and forming lost skin collagen, which is the main cause of aging. It regulates the oil-water balance to activate the skin's regenerative ability, improves the deep skin environment, and restores the skin structure, making the skin elastic and healthy, and restores skin damaged by aging, UV rays, and irritation to normal.

Juve Look, delivering natural skin elasticity and volume over time.
Juvelook, whose safety has been proven through approval by the U.S. FDA and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KFDA), is a self-tissue regeneration collagen booster that combines high-molecular-weight PLA with HA (hyaluronic acid), a component found in human skin tissue. Unlike other fillers that produce immediate volume effects after injection, it stimulates the production of self-collagen to create natural volume and is also effective in improving skin elasticity, fine lines, and skin texture.

1:1 Custom Skin Solution
Meticulous care, highly accurate diagnosis, thorough follow-up care
Our medical team, with over 20 years of experience and know-how, understands the skin better than anyone else and handles lasers expertly to provide premium medical services in a private space.
Not all pore treatments are the same. At PHD Dermatology, we offer customized solutions based on your pore type.
Pore reduction procedures require delicate techniques, and laser wavelengths or energy levels must be adjusted according to the individual's skin condition. At PHD Dermatology, we provide customized treatments tailored to each individual's skin, from diagnosis to laser procedures, through dedicated care by a Ph.D. in Medicine from Seoul National University and a board-certified dermatologist from Seoul National University Hospital.
We combine various treatments tailored to the characteristics of your skin's pores to induce optimal results.
Since the treatment method for enlarged pores varies depending on their various causes and forms, a precise diagnosis is essential. For pores resulting from accumulated issues, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with a single treatment or laser. At PHD Dermatology, we treat pores by performing lasers, procedures, and skincare for more effective results, ultimately focusing on the most crucial aspect: regeneration.
Stimulating pores is not the answer. They must be handled delicately.
Pore care involves tightening enlarged pores and removing dead skin cells and impurities to help skin cells regenerate. It is important to choose a regeneration program that suits you, as it stimulates reduced skin elasticity to revitalize dull skin tone and aging skin texture.
Receive care in a private space without worrying about COVID-19.
Receive personalized treatment consultation in a clean and private treatment space equipped with regular disinfection.
Precautions after pore treatment
We provide guidance on precautions to observe before and after the procedure for effective treatment and satisfactory results.
For one week after the procedure, you should avoid hot and stimulating places such as public baths and saunas.
You must not touch the scabbed area, and you must apply the ointment properly.
Please apply moisturizing and regenerating products frequently, and apply sunscreen thoroughly when going out.
Do not intentionally remove the scabs that form after the procedure until they fall off naturally. If the scabs fall off prematurely, redness or hyperpigmentation may occur.
Redness, peeling, etc. may occur after the procedure, and the severity may vary depending on the individual.
