Enlarged Pores Treatment

 Especially in the summertime, many patients come to the SPA complaining of small holes in the skin, which are in evidence when they use makeup. These holes are the dilated pores. They are usually hereditary and also appear on oily skin (a common condition on hotter days), which can cause the appearance of pimples.

What causes enlarged pores?

The enlarged pore is a characteristic of oily skins. They are caused by the accumulation of oil and dead cells around the pores, causing them to increase in size. The problem is most common in areas that produce the most sebum, such as the so-called T-zone, which covers the forehead, nose, and chin.

Aging can also cause the pores to become dilated, which is when the skin loses its elasticity. Inadequate cleaning affects pores dilation, as makeup residues, sunscreen, and impurities, such as pollution,  accumulate in the pores, making them larger. 

There are still people who have enlarged pores due to genetic predisposition.

  • > Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation is a procedure that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which is a great ally in the fight against pore dilation. IPL not only reduces the diameter of the pores that are already visible but also helps to reduce the sebaceous glands. This treatment stimulates collagen production, reducing signs of aging, such as wrinkles and expression marks, and flaccidity.

  • > Chemical Peeling

Chemical Peeling is a procedure used to remove the outer layers of skin that are damaged.

It is worth remembering that no procedure is able to eliminate the dilated pores once and for all, but a daily care routine and follow-up with your beautician reduces the problem and makes it less visible.
