Enlarged Pores

Refined & more even skin texture

For smoother skin and a more radiant complexion.

Though commonly used, the term “pore” actually refers to the opening of sweat glands. What is commonly called an “enlarged pore” more accurately corresponds to an enlarged follicular ostium—the opening of the hair follicle through which hair and sebum emerge. Enlarged pores are generally linked to excess sebum production, loss of skin elasticity, or the buildup of impurities and dead skin cells on the surface. Over time, they can become more visible and give the complexion an uneven or less uniform appearance.

Our personalized medical aesthetic solutions aim to regulate sebum production, stimulate cell renewal, and improve the skin’s structure. By refining texture and evening out the surface, they reduce the appearance of pores and enhance the skin’s natural radiance.

Chemical peel

A chemical peel exfoliates the surface of the skin with an acid-based solution to remove dead skin cells and accumulated impurities. By stimulating cell renewal, it refines texture, regulates sebum production, and revitalizes the skin for a smoother, more even appearance.

Microneedling + radiofrequency

These two complementary technologies stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration. One creates controlled micro-perforations, while the other activates collagen and elastin production. Together, they firm the tissues, improve texture, and visibly reduce the appearance of pores for a smoother, more refined skin surface.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion mechanically exfoliates the skin’s surface to unclog pores and smooth texture. It promotes better oxygenation and more active cell renewal, leaving the skin soft, clear, and visibly refined.

Frequently asked questions

01. Are enlarged pores linked to acne?

While they aren’t the cause, they can be associated with acne when the skin produces excess sebum. Pores can become clogged and form blackheads or breakouts. Proper sebum control and appropriate skincare helps prevent this.

02. Can sun exposure make pores appear larger?

Yes. Prolonged sun exposure damages collagen and skin elasticity, making pores more visible. Using sunscreen is essential to preserve the skin’s firmness and overall quality.

03. Can pores actually be closed?

No, and this isn’t something you’d want, as they serve an essential function. Pore size is partly determined by genetics, but their appearance can be visibly reduced through medical aesthetic solutions and appropriate care.

04. Why do my pores appear more visible with age?

Over time, collagen and elastin production decreases, reducing skin firmness and density. Also, the epidermis tends to produce more keratin. Its structure becomes thicker and more lax, making pores noticeable.

05. Are treatments for enlarged pores suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Most technologies can be adapted based on skin tolerance. An assessment allows for adjustments in treatment intensity to ensure both comfort and safety.
