What are dilated pores?
Micro-openings present on the surface of the skin, dilated pores are enlarged to varying degrees depending on skin texture, the presence of blackheads or sebum, particularly if the skin tends to shine throughout the day. While dilated pores can appear on young skin, they are equally common on more mature skin, which becomes increasingly less firm over time. Located on the central area of the face (forehead, nose, chin), dilated pores release sebum and sweat, which contribute to the development of blackheads.
Dilated pores can also be caused by smoking or sun exposure. Good practices are recommended to prevent and/or tighten them. It is essential to understand the nature of your skin. By properly hydrating your epidermis, you can avoid greasing your face and reduce the risk of pore dilation. This will also serve as an excellent base before makeup. Remember to cleanse your skin using micellar water or a gentle makeup remover. Consider exfoliating your skin and using masks to nourish it deeply.
Why opt for the Juliet Erbium YAG laser treatment?
The marks left by dilated pores need to be treated with varying intensities. Thus, the treatment may require multiple sessions generally spaced 1 to 2 months apart with complete sun avoidance to prevent rebound pigmentation. In almost all cases, the treatment will be painless. If the planned treatment is deeper, the doctor will prescribe a healing cream.
The Juliet Erbium YAG laser creates micro-coagulation wells by using the principle of photothermolysis, which involves rapidly heating a specific target, such as fibroblasts, while limiting the warming of the dermis. This technique will allow for deep action while limiting thermal diffusion. A phenomenon of skin cell stimulation will enable a rapid recovery of the skin, thus significantly reducing social downtime. Multiple passes will be performed on the affected area, creating multiple impacts in the dermis. In response, the skin will naturally regenerate by healing at these points and will appear more taut.
Take care of your epidermis and do not hesitate to consult a professional if the marks from dilated pores or blackheads concern you.
