If I am concerned about pores and sebum on my nose and cheeks, what kind of skincare should I consult first?
The attached photo shows the skin on my nose and the adjacent cheek. My pores appear large, and the skin tends to be oily due to excess sebum, so I am writing to inquire about what kind of treatment I should receive.
In this case, I am wondering whether it is better to first clear pores and sebum with a skincare program, or to consult about lasers or skin boosters as well. I would also like to know the order in which you assess my skin condition during the consultation, and whether treatments are possible even for skin with excessive sebum production.
Could you please let me know if I can receive treatment on the philtrum and near the cheeks where I usually shave, and when I can resume shaving after the treatment? I would also like to inquire about how to wash my face and moisturize on the day of the procedure.
I would also like to ask if one session is sufficient, or how many sessions are typically received at intervals of a few weeks. I would also appreciate it if you could let me know if there is any inconvenience in returning to work during the recovery period.

- 02CommentsDuring the change of seasons, temperature fluctuations cause dead skin cells to clog pores, disrupting the oil-moisture balance and easily leading to the breakout of small bumps. Since your pores are open on the day of extraction, I recommend washing your face gently with lukewarm water; it is best to wait until the following day to apply makeup to help prevent inflammation. You can usually feel your sebum production gradually stabilizing after receiving the extraction and soothing care 3 to 5 times at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks. If your skin tends to be sensitive and dry, Gold PTT or LDM hydration and soothing treatments will be much more comfortable than Agnes, as they are less irritating and selectively destroy sebaceous glands. The Cica moisturizer you are currently using is an excellent home care product, so please take a break from peeling agents or exfoliation for the time being and focus on moisturizing!170026.11.05
- 03CommentsI found that getting a procedure to clear nose blackheads is much more effective than squeezing them out at home. After getting an Aqua Peel, I noticed significantly less sebum coming to the surface around my nose. Since peeling treatments like Lara Peel are also said to help control sebum, I recommend showing them the condition of your nose during your consultation and trying it out. The results the next day vary depending on the intensity of the treatment; I received a light session, and there was almost no redness when I went to work the next day. Because your cheeks are dry, I suggest limiting the peeling area to just your nose, and receiving moisturizing or soothing care along with it will help you worry less about irritation!250026.11.04
