Tighten pores Treatment in Chiangmai
My pores appear very large, and putting on foundation only makes them more noticeable. Is there a way to shrink them?
A lot of skincare products today claim that they can help close the pores. While pores might enlarge or shrink momentarily – cool water can shrink them, and warm water might loosen them up a bit – it’s important to understand that pores do not have muscles around their opening, and therefore do not open or close.As we age, the skin around a pore loses its firmness. As a result, the pore may appear larger because of the lack of support from the surrounding tissue and the decrease of collagen. The size of our pores is also largely determined by genetics, but poor hygiene can also result in the pores becoming clogged with dirt, oil and dead skin cells, making them look bigger.The pores are seen in the epidermis but they actually start in the dermis, the skin layer composed of matrix components such as collagen and elastin. As the ageing process causes loss of collagen and degeneration in the elastic fibre network, the dermis becomes weaker, thinner and less elastic. The pores, as a result, appear enlarged.Masking your enlarged pores with make-up can make the problem worse. Since the pores are big, they can trap make-up residue and become clogged, making them appear even larger. One way to help make the pores less noticeable is to keep the skin as clean as possible. Do not try to remove blackheads by squeezing or using pore strips as they can worsen the situation. It is better to leave the extraction to a professional.To treat this problem, we have to look at the root cause – the weakened dermis. Technologies that tighten the skin can help make the pores less visible. One good example is the Ulthera System, which is a non-surgical skin treatment designed to lift, rejuvenate, and tone the skin. Ulthera is the only non-invasive treatment that has received FDA clearance for lifting of skin on the neck, brow and under the chin. It works by incorporating innovative ultrasound technology, which penetrates deep into the lower layers of the skin to promote healthy and youthful skin.Ulthera uses highly focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen about 3 to 4 millimetres under the skin. The skin’s response to the energy is to contract slightly right away, and the energy also stimulates the growth of new collagen over time.To bring those descriptions into a perspective, let’s look at some interesting findings. In a recent research study, a group of 19 women and three men between the ages of 22 and 51 received Ulthera treatment to treat their enlarged pores. The depth to which the energy was delivered differed on each side of the cheeks – 1.5 mm on one side and 3 mm on the other. After six weeks, the results showed that the pores on both sides appeared tightened, and the collagen was at a healthier range. The results were more visible on the side treated with Ulthera at 3 mm deep.How long the result lasts depends on each person, but in general, it remains for a year or two. With good hygiene and regular skin treatments, your youthful look can stay with you longer.
