Light Lift--A Good Pore Minimizing Treatment

A pore is an opening on the surface of the skin where a hair follicle exists. Below the pore, there are sebaceous oil glands surrounding the hair follicle. The pore performs an important part in skin physiology. If there were not a pore in the skin, the hair would not grow up and the skin oil wouldn’t reach the surface of the skin to protect the skin from environmental dehydration. When we are aging or our skin produces less oil, the size of a pore is enlarged. To be specific, the opening around the hair follicle is much larger than normal. As the enlarged pores often appear around the nose, chin and forehead, the beauty of our face is affected significantly, resulting in depression we may experience.

With the development of technology, a good pore minimizing treatment called Light Lift has appeared in the cosmetic area. Light Lift uses GentleYAG technology, which is FDA-approved and recognized as the fastest and most powerful laser on the market, to minimize the size of enlarged pores.

In this Pore Minimizing treatment, the GentleYAG laser penetrates the skin surface into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate a collagen overhaul and skin repair, as well as regulating overactive oil glands. Before the laser beam is delivered, a short burst of cooling cryogen that protects the skin from overheating is sprayed onto the treated skin areas, offering maximum benefits.

As a numbing cream is applied to skin in the initial stage of the Enlarged Pores treatment, Light Lift is a comfortable procedure. After the coolant gas is emitted, you may experience a mild rubber band snap. And you will feel gradually increasing warmth after the laser beam is delivered. The time of each session varies from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated. After treatment, patients may experience mild flushing of the skin, which can be concealed easily with makeup and disappear in a few hours.

This pore minimizing treatment is a fast and comfortable procedure requiring no downtime and minimal aftercare. You can resume your normal activities right after the procedure. For these men and women who are seeking for a remedy to minimize the size of pores, it is really a perfect way which also helps patients achieve clear, oil-balanced skin radiating a healthy glow.

For the best outcomes, patients are always recommended to receive about five light lift treatments at three to four weeks intervals. To maintain the results, intermittent follow-up treatments are a must. If you have suffered enlarged pores and want to receive this pore minimizing treatment, it is best for you to check with the doctor as he would give you the best suggestions.
