Pores and Enlarged Pores - Yokohama Yamate Clinic

Pore Troubles

Pores become more noticeable due to aging-related sagging, autonomic nervous system imbalances caused by stress, irregular lifestyles or lack of sleep, and dietary imbalances. Daily care with thorough cleansing and skincare alone may not be enough to resolve enlarged pores or blackheads, leading to persistent concerns.

If you are have these concerns
  • Forehead and eye wrinkles have become more prominent
  • Deepening of expression lines is noticed
  • Feeling of aging recently
  • Makeup tends to smear easily

Our Clinic’s Treatments and Features

Pores

Comprehensive Improvement of Pores from the Foundation

At our clinic, we aim to improve not only the appearance of pores but also the overall health of the skin through fundamental treatment. We offer a variety of treatments tailored to each patient’s lifestyle, including “Peeling,” “Fractional needle RF,” “Electrical pulses,” “Derma pen,” and “Injection Treatment.” All treatments are designed to be performed on an ongoing basis to help achieve healthy, trouble-free skin.

Causes of Enlarged Pores and Blackheads

Enlarged pores are caused by excessive sebum secretion, residual dirt, irregular turnover, and aging, making pores more noticeable. Areas with more sebum, such as the nose and cheeks, are particularly prone to enlarged pores.

Blackheads occur when sebum accumulates in pores, mixes with old keratin, and oxidizes, resulting in blackened pores.

Treatment Methods

Retinol Peel

Leaving old keratin on the skin surface can lead to various skin problems. Peeling promotes skin turnover, not only treating current fine wrinkles but also refining the skin to prevent future fine wrinkles. We offer two types of peeling, “Retinol Peel” and “Professional Peel,” tailored to the patient’s preferences.

Retinol Peel

Professional Peel

The Professional Peel is a popular peeling treatment in France, known for its minimal downtime. It effectively stimulates collagen production and activates skin metabolism (turnover) by targeting three different layers with lactic acid, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid. It’s even called the “Party Peel” because it’s possible to undergo treatment the day before a party. While you can feel the glow after a single treatment, repeated treatments improve fine wrinkles, dullness, and pores, creating healthy skin.

Professional Peel

Fractional Needle RF

Fractional Needle RF is a treatment that improves fine wrinkles by inserting medical micro-needles into the skin and irradiating it with RF (radiofrequency). By creating small point-like wounds with micro-needles, it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, smoothing the skin surface. It then generates collagen and elastin to lift the skin from the inside, creating firm and youthful skin. Our clinic offers “Sylfirm X” Fractional Needle RF.

Fractional Needle RF

Electric Pulse

This technology involves applying high-speed electrical pulses to the skin’s surface, temporarily opening the skin’s cell membranes, and allowing beauty ingredients to penetrate deep into the tissue. It allows effective ingredients for beautiful skin to be introduced into the skin safely and painlessly, which was previously only possible using injections. We have prepared electroporation, which has 20 times the introduction effect of conventional ion introduction. It is highly safe and does not damage the skin surface or cells, so there is almost no pain or downtime.

Electric Pulse

Microneedle Derma Pen

The skin is stimulated using fine needles, and the natural healing process is accelerated to achieve a beautiful skin effect. Using advanced microneedling technology, extremely fine needles are used to make minute holes vertically into the skin. It has 16 extremely fine needles, and can make about 1920 minute holes per second with high-speed vibration. The needle depth can be adjusted from 0.25 to 2.5 mm.

Microneedle

Injection Treatment

This is an anti-aging injection featuring a unique blend of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and six amino acids. Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid treatments that focus on adding volume, this treatment promotes skin regeneration from the foundation, resulting in a natural, rejuvenated appearance. The injection is administered by a physician who carefully selects each injection point and injects the solution manually, allowing for a customized treatment tailored to the specific condition of each area.
