Enlarged pores

Do you feel unhappy when looking at your enlarged pores in a magnifying mirror? You're not alone. The fact is that some pores appear larger than others—even on the same face, let alone from person to person—and you've heard the claim that enlarged pores can't be eliminated. True, but there are treatments that can significantly reduce their appearance to the point where they become almost invisible.

What are enlarged pores?

Pores are tiny hair follicles that contain sebaceous glands and are present all over the body. Their purpose is to allow the oil produced by the sebaceous gland to reach the skin's surface and protect it. This natural oil is called sebum and it keeps the skin healthy and hydrated.
Several factors influence the size and visibility of pores, such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. People with fair and dry skin have less visible pores compared to those with darker skin and oily or combination skin.

Many people notice their pores becoming larger with age due to the loss of collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to lose firmness. It's also true that they appear enlarged when they are constantly clogged. While we can't do much about the pores we were born with, we can do a lot about how they look.

What can diminish the appearance of enlarged pores?

• Proper skin care

• Laser treatment

• Chemical peels

• Microneedling

Chemical peels

Chemical peel treatments at a dermatologist's office can drastically reduce the appearance of pores. They shrink enlarged pores and improve the skin's appearance and texture. Depending on your skin type and condition, the experts at the Lasàm Clinic will determine the type and strength of the chemical peel that will give you the best results.

Laser Treatment for Enlarged Pores

The therapeutic and stimulating effects of lasers make them one of the most effective ways to address the problem of enlarged pores. Lasers improve skin texture, tighten, and rejuvenate it, thus visually reducing the appearance of pores. Particularly notable is the use of carbon peel with Q-Switch laser (Hollywood Peel), which effectively and quickly addresses the problem of enlarged pores without any downtime.

Microneedling

Microneedling involves controlled micro-needling that injures the skin and stimulates its natural regeneration mechanisms and collagen production. Microneedling can be combined with other methods such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment) and various mesotherapy cocktails depending on the skin issue.
