Enlarged Pores have truly been one of the biggest problems I’ve faced since high school. No matter how expensive the astringents I use or how frequently I apply face masks, that “strawberry nose” always stays with me. During the summer, when my skin produces excessive oil, the Pores in my T-zone are so large that you can actually count them with the naked eye—sounds exaggerated? Not at all.
I had undergone laser treatment for Pores several times in Taipei before. Each time, it did seem to work in the first three days, but after a week, everything would return to its original state. It wasn’t until I went to South Korea for an exchange semester that a local student recommended reyou Dermatology, saying that their Pores reduction treatment was different from what others offered. Thinking “it can’t cost much anyway”, I gave it a try – and this time, it really was different.

🔬 Just how serious is my Pores problem really?
📊 Reyou’s skin test results
The test report obtained at reyou Dermatology gave me a completely new understanding of my Pores issues.
tbody>
| Testing items | My numbers | Within the normal range | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pores density in the T-zone | 28 units/cm² | <15 cells/cm² | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Severe |
| Average pore diameter | 0.18mm | <0.08mm | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely serious |
| sebum secretion level | on the high side | normal | ⭐⭐⭐ Medium level |
| Types of Pores | Combination of oily skin type and aging skin type | – | It is relatively difficult to handle. |
The first thing Dean reyou said after reading the report was: “Your Pores are not only clogged due to excess oil, but also some of them are aged Pores caused by the loss of collagen. Therefore, simply controlling oil production is not enough; it is necessary to stimulate collagen regeneration at the same time.”
This is exactly why the treatments I used to perform, which were only aimed at addressing the superficial oiliness, only lasted for a few days – because I overlooked the fundamental cause, which is aging.
💆 Reyou’s Pores Shrinking Treatment Program
🎯 Phase-based treatment plan
The plan designed by Dean reyou for me is divided into three stages:
📍 Phase 1: Deep cleansing + oil control (Week 1)
- Oxygen bubble deep cleansing (removes oil and dead skin cells that clog the Pores)
- Professional needle cleansing (not the kind of self-extraction)
- Introduction of products containing AHA/salicylic acid (to regulate sebum production)
📍 Phase 2: Stimulating regeneration (Weeks 2–3)
- Gold Microneedling with radiofrequency technology → Stimulating collagen to tighten Pores
- PDRN injection → Improves skin quality from within
📍 Phase 3: Consolidation and Maintenance (Starting from Week 4)
- Monthly Pico laser treatment (to prevent recurrence)
- Home skincare guidance (the dean personally recommends suitable product lines)
💰 Project costs
| Stages | Project | Korean won | Approximately NT dollars |
|---|---|---|---|
| first phase | Cleansing + needle cleansing + infusion therapy | 80,000 to 120,000 | 2,160 to 3,240 |
| Second phase | Potenza + PDRN | 350,000 to 500,000 | 9,450 to 13,500 |
| Third Phase (Monthly Payment) | Pico + Management | 150,000 per month | 4,050 per month |
| Total cost of the complete treatment program (3 months) | Approximately 800,000 to 1.1 million | Ranging from approximately 21,600 to 29,700 |
The complete treatment course lasting three months costs approximately 21,600 to 29,700 New Taiwan dollars. If the same treatment using gold microneedling combined with PDRN is performed in Taipei, the cost would be at least 50,000 New Taiwan dollars.

📸 30-day tracking record without using any filters
🗓️ Day 1: First treatment (cleansing + needle cleansing)
To be honest, the process of needle cleansing is a bit painful (after all, needles are being used to pierce the skin), but the nurses at reyou were very gentle. After cleaning each area, they would apply ice compresses to my skin. After the treatment, the blackheads on my nose decreased significantly by about 50% – although I know this effect is only temporary (the blackheads will grow back), the feeling of finally having a clean nose was really great.
🗓️ Day 7: Before the second phase (Potenza)
This week, my skin condition has been relatively stable, and the amount of sebum produced seems to have decreased (perhaps due to the effect of the oil-control products used in the first phase). I underwent gold microneedling radiofrequency treatment – this was my first time experiencing this procedure, and I was even more nervous than on my first date.
Honest assessment of the pain: After applying the numbing cream for 40 minutes, the pain level during the procedure was approximately 5 out of 10. The T-zone experienced more discomfort due to higher oil production and thicker skin; the cheeks, on the other hand, were fine. The entire process took about 35 minutes. After the treatment, my face turned red, similar to Lord Guan’s, but the nurse said this was normal.
🗓️ Day 14: PDRN injection
The recovery period after the gold microneedling treatment is almost over (small scabs started to fall off on the fifth day, and by the seventh day, the skin had basically returned to its smooth state). I went for an PDRN injection today. Director Reyou personally performed the procedure herself – this is very important, as some clinics have nurses do it instead.
The pain associated with PDRN is much lower than that of Rejuran, approximately only 2 to 3 out of 10 on the pain scale. While administering the treatment, the director chatted with me to distract my attention, and before I knew it, the procedure was already complete. The entire process took about 25 minutes.
🗓️ Day 30: First Pico treatment and comparative evaluation
Today is a milestone: it has been exactly one month! After the Pico maintenance, the staff at reyou helped me take high-definition comparison photos. I also took some photos at home without using any filters.
The result was so exciting that I almost shouted it out in the consultation room.
- Pores density in the T-zone: decreased from 28 Pores/cm² to 16 Pores/cm² (a decrease of 43%)
- Pore diameter: decreased from 0.18 mm to 0.09 mm (↓50%)
- Sebum secretion level: returned from “high” to “upper normal range” (within a controllable range)
The most important thing is that this is not the immediate result of the treatment on that day, but rather the long-lasting effect after a month of normal daily activities, including wearing makeup, staying up late, and eating grilled meat. In the past, any treatment I underwent would revert to its original state within two weeks at most; this time, however, the results have remained stable even after a full month.

⭐ Real Reviews of Reyou Dermatology in South Korea
✅ The aspects that I think are positive
- Diagnostic science: It is not based on experience, but rather on data—quantitative indicators such as Pore density and diameter are used.
- The treatment plan is designed to progress in three stages, rather than administering multiple treatments all at once.
- Transparent pricing: A fixed-price system with no hidden fees.
- No sales pressure, only results: From beginning to end, no additional services or products were ever promoted.
- 30-day tracking data: Quantitative evidence that shows before-and-after comparisons, rather than merely claiming that “the results are good” without any supporting data.
⚠️ Areas that can be improved
- The environment is quite simple and unpretentious, not as luxurious and comfortable as some clinics.
- The waiting area can sometimes get quite noisy when there are many people.
- Chinese-language services are limited (but translation software can help to some extent).
- The recovery period after gold microneedling is slightly longer than that after regular laser treatments (it takes 5 to 7 days).
🔄 Comparison with similar clinics
- Kate Dermatology (Hongdae): Also focuses on technical approaches; it is more effective at removing freckles, but its specialization in Pores treatment is different.
- Danya Dermatology (Myeongdong): More refined aesthetic designs, but at higher prices
- S.Derma Dermatology (Myeongdong): Affordable and high-volume services, but lacks a systematic treatment plan.
If you too have long been suffering from enlarged Pores and have tried various methods that only provide temporary relief for a few days, I highly recommend that you consider visiting the Reyou Dermatology in South Korea. They don’t rely on aggressive marketing to make you spend money; instead, they earn their reputation through solid technical expertise and tangible results. In my experience, this trust is absolutely unwavering.
