When summer sebum and pores stand out: What should be checked before Potenza consultation?

Hello, I am Dr. Kim Yeon-jin, Chief Physician at UHCELL Clinic Gangnam.

In summer, sweat and sebum can make pores look more noticeable and the skin texture feel rougher. Before choosing a device name first, it is important to check whether the skin is sensitive, and whether sebum and heat are present together.

Sebum and pores may look like one issue, but the checkpoints differ

Visible oiliness does not mean every skin condition should be managed in the same way. Surface shine, keratin around the pores, redness, and inner dryness should be reviewed together.

In summer, UV exposure, air-conditioning, and frequent cleansing can affect the skin barrier balance. If stimulation is added too quickly in this condition, redness or dryness may linger, so the current skin condition should be checked first.

For Potenza, skin thickness and recovery schedule come before energy settings

During Potenza consultation, we review where the pores are visible, skin thickness, oiliness, heat, and recent laser or skin booster history. Even with the same pore concern, the cheek, nose area, and jawline can require different considerations.

If you have an upcoming schedule, recovery time should also be discussed. Redness and dryness vary by individual, so it is better to review your current skin condition and schedule together.

Summer pore care starts with gentle cleansing and steady moisturizing

When sebum increases, repeatedly using harsh cleansing can make the skin feel drier. If your skin feels tight or hot after washing, check whether your cleanser is too harsh or the water temperature is too high.

Moisturizing is not about layering as much as possible. Choose products your skin tolerates comfortably and keep the routine simple around what already works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can pores suddenly look larger in summer?

Sweat, sebum, heat, and dryness can make shadows around the pores look more noticeable. The actual pore condition and skin texture should be reviewed together.

What should I avoid before Potenza consultation?

Strong exfoliation, excessive cleansing, and adding several new products at once may make the skin more sensitive. Keep your usual routine stable before consultation.
