Do you think nature is unfair to you? For some reason, she gave you these terrible craters on her face?
In fact, even catwalk queens with perfect figures have less than perfect skin. And they also wonder how to get rid of enlarged pores.
The most famous example is top model Cindy Crawford. At the beginning of her career, she was scared to death of close-ups: wide pores in a split second could put an end to her glossy future.
Cindy began to fight this scourge (those Jesuit methods no longer exist in modern cosmetology). Like a snake, she literally had to change her skin.
In order to quickly and completely cope with the problem of enlarged pores, we at Platinental offer you modern and safe
methods tested by leading clinics in Europe and the USA.

Where do wide pores on the face come from?
A pore on the face is the hole from which hair grows. On a woman's face, hair is almost invisible because it is thin and light. But they exist. The ducts of the sebaceous gland exit into the same opening.
Therefore, it is time to fill with sebum, or sebum. This is a real elixir of youth: sebum keeps the skin moisturized, makes it elastic, protects against hypothermia and overheating, and protects (oddly enough) from inflammation and viruses.
Large pores on the face can be caused by many factors:
- hormonal changes, such as increased sebum production during puberty,
- oily skin type,
- improper facial care,
- unhealthy diet,
- using inappropriate or simply low-quality cosmetics,
- stress,
- hereditary predisposition,
- and after 30 years – dehydration and loss of skin tone.
Unfortunately, recent research shows that today a ninth factor has been added to these 8 factors, which strengthens them all. It turns out that under the influence of free radicals (the unhealthy atmosphere of cities and the hot air of sunny beaches are rich in them), sebum changes its properties and begins to cause serious problems to the skin.
Word from the expert:
“The first six factors are associated with either increased sebum production or clogged pores. As a result, sebum accumulates in the pores, forming peculiar sebaceous plugs called comedones. The larger the comedones, the more the pores stretch.
It is hardly possible to overcome the problem forever. But regular care guarantees getting rid of the problem: clean and healthy pores shrink on their own. Therefore, the main remedy against enlarged pores in this case is regular salon cleanings and care treatments from a cosmetologist in combination with proper home care. Regular droppers with Glutathione will also help to significantly enhance the effect.”

The drug is used both in monotherapy and in complex treatment for inflammatory, infectious and other lesions of the skin. The product is inexpensive, the price at the pharmacy will not make you empty your wallet, but at the same time the ointment really helps get rid of various problems.

A week after laser resurfacing, the result is strengthened with the help of 5-6 mesotherapy procedures with the Japanese drug SAKURA. The cocktail is compiled individually by a cosmetologist - in a special proportion to improve blood flow and narrow pores.

Action and properties of the ointment
Salicylic acid (in other words, phenolic acid) was discovered in willow bark several centuries ago. It was she who became the predecessor of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which is still actively used in medicine to treat a wide range of diseases.
By using salicylic ointment, you can speed up the healing of wounds, boils, pimples, blackheads, and soften growths and calluses on the skin.
Due to the pronounced keratolytic effect of the ointment, skin regeneration increases. Its antiseptic effect is widely used in the treatment of wounds and skin diseases accompanied by a violation of the integrity of the skin.
Scheme 2. Ultraceuticals - the best remedy for enlarged pores!
In other cases, an excellent result can be obtained by using a course of five to seven BHA peels of the latest generation Ultraceuticals based on 20% salicylic acid. The mechanism is the same: we remove fat plugs - we get a narrowing of enlarged pores. As a bonus, this modern drug reduces sebum production and gives the face an amazingly even tone.
You can receive 2 peelings as a gift when completing a course of 5 procedures!

Salicylic ointment has a drying effect, which increases as the percentage of the product increases. People with dry and sensitive skin should use the ointment with caution, as additional discomfort may occur.
To remove calluses and keratinized skin, the course of treatment with 10% salicylic ointment is no more than 3 weeks: usually this time is enough to achieve results.
Before applying the ointment to the affected areas of the skin, they should be pre-treated.
In a gentle way, it is necessary to remove dead skin areas, burn blisters must be carefully opened and treated with an antiseptic.
Then a thin layer of ointment is applied, and this area of skin is covered with a clean napkin (preferably sterile if we are talking about burns). It is recommended to change the napkin daily.
In surgery , salicylic ointment is sometimes still used when it is necessary to clean the wound of purulent-necrotic masses. Apply ointment to the affected area and cover with a napkin, leaving it for 1-2 days.
