What are Pores and How to Minimize Appearance of Enlarged Pores – LA LUER
Minimize, Refine, Smooth
While the size of your pores are primarily genetic, there are ways to minimize the appearance of your pores!
To find a solution for enlarged pores, we must first understand what pores are, their purpose, and root causes of enlarged pores.
A pore is the opening of a hair follicle and serve two purposes: secreting oil and releasing sweat. There are two types of pores:
•	Oil pores: Connected to a sebaceous gland, oil pores cover the entire surface of skin. Sebaceous gland within each hair follicle secretes sebum or oil through the pores. Sebum production is important for skin health because it protects and moisturizes the skin.
•	Sweat pores: Cover your entire skin, but unlike oil pores, they’re microscopic and typically can't be seen with the naked eye.
What Causes Pores to Look Enlarged?
The most common causes for large pores are:
•	Excess sebum secretion
•	Decreased skin elasticity
1. Excess Sebum Secretion Accounts For to Visibly Enlarged Pores On Face
Increased levels of oiliness in skin contributes to pores appearing larger. Additionally, oil combined with dirt, dead skin skin cells, pollutants can cause clogging which leads to breakouts and blackheads.
Pores are more prominent by the nose, cheek, and chin area, as a result of having more sebaceous glands beneath the skin. When your glands secrete too much oil pores get even larger.
2. Decreased Skin Elasticity Leads to Enlarged Pores with Age
With age, our skin loses it elasticity due to decreased collagen and elastin production. Collagen production starts to decline by ~1% a year in our late 20's. This causes skin to stretch and sag, giving pores an enlarged appearance.
3. Dry Skin Prompt Sebaceous Glands to Produce More Oil, Leading to Enlarged and Clogged Pores
When our skin is dry, it produces extra sebum to lubricate and compensate for the lack of moisture. As your pore expands with oil and other debris, you get the larger appearance of pores.
How To “Shrink” Large Pores?
✔️ DECREASE EXCESS OIL / SEBUM PRODUCTION
✔️ STIMULATE COLLAGEN AND ELASTIN PRODUCTION
✔️ HYDRATE AND RESTORE SKIN BARRIER
How La Luer Helps to Minimize Pores
Detox and Tone modes with Blue LED light technology, Ultrasound, & EMS decreases excess oil production in the skin:
Blue LED light therapy decreases excess oil production and kills acne causing bacteria. Having less oil trapped in pores gives pores a minimized appearance. Ultrasonic waves & EMS reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by softening and tightening skin while also increasing circulation & controlling excess sebum production.
Lift mode with Red LED light technology, RF, & EMS helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production, tighten skin, as well as decrease inflammation and redness in skin.
Radio Frequency stimulates collagen and elastin production via molecular friction/heat. Collagen fibers contract, resulting in an immediate skin-tightening effect. It also prompts the synthesis of more collagen for instant and cumulative results.
Microcurrents and EMS firms & tightens skin, re-educates muscles, and increases ATP production for tighter, smoother skin.RED LED Light Therapy decreases inflammation, increases collagen and elastin production, and reduces inflammation and damage caused by oxidative stress.
Infuse mode utilizes ultrasonic and galvanic currents to deeply moisturize skin and help rebuild your skins natural barrier! In a more balanced state, your skin won't produce as much sebum, thereby minimizing the appearance of pores and giving you a natural healthy glow!
Galvanic Currents via Iontophoresis & Ultrasound boosts hydration levels, increases moisture retention, and stimulates blood circulation to the face. Negative ions bind to the Hyaluronic Acid in our conductive gel, pushing the molecules deep into the epidermal layers.Green LED Light Therapy has a calming effect on the skin. With anti-inflammatory properties, Green LED soothes the surface of the skin. It also to lightens hyper-pigmentation from acne scaring, revealing a brighter complexion.
