Enlarged pores
Enlarged pores are most noticeable on the nose, cheeks and forehead, especially in oily or combination skin. Pores look bigger when they are clogged with oil and debris, and as skin loses firmness with age or sun damage.
Pore size is partly genetic, so they cannot be closed permanently — but their appearance can be reduced noticeably with the right combination of cleansing, resurfacing and collagen-building treatments.
Why pores look larger
- Excess oil and congestion
- Loss of firmness around the pore
- Sun damage and thicker surface skin
- Genetics and skin type
How we refine pores
- Carbon laser to control oil and refresh the surface
- Dermapen / microneedling to tighten skin around pores
- Deep cleansing facials to clear congestion
- Chemical peels to refine texture
Home care that helps
Gentle cleansing twice a day, a light non-comedogenic moisturiser, daily sunscreen and products recommended by your specialist help maintain results between sessions.
