Treatment of Enlarged Pores
Pores, which allow our skin to breathe and expel oil and sweat, can be larger and more prominent in some individuals due to structural factors or oily skin.
Prominent pores can make the skin appear rough, which many people find aesthetically displeasing. Additionally, the accumulation of dirt and oil in enlarged pores can lead to the formation of blackheads, known as comedones, and potentially infected pimples. Consequently, many patients seek treatment for enlarged pores.
Fractional Laser Treatment for Pores: One of the most effective treatments for reducing pore size is Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser treatment. Using the Cool Peel dose to reduce pores not only comfortably minimizes them but also makes the skin surface brighter and smoother.
Like other laser treatments, the Cool Peel procedure is performed in the winter months. Post-treatment redness and peeling are significantly less compared to standard fractional laser treatments, and the mild peeling resolves within about a week, revealing rejuvenated skin underneath. Approximately three sessions can substantially reduce pore size, and additional benefits include the correction of skin tone unevenness, pigmentation, and fine lines. Sessions are typically spaced one month apart.
Microneedling with Gold Needle: Another frequently used method for reducing pore size is microneedling with radiofrequency, also known as Gold Needle treatment.
The Gold Needle or fractional microneedling radiofrequency treatment is used to address sagging and fine wrinkles caused by aging or environmental factors, making the skin appear more vibrant, bright, and youthful. It is also highly effective in tightening pores and treating acne scars.
During the Gold Needle treatment, 25 very fine needles simultaneously penetrate the skin to deliver heat without affecting the skin surface. The heat and controlled micro-traumas caused by the needles stimulate collagen synthesis. This process helps heal fine lines and scars, supports skin renewal, and tightens and reduces pore size. The use of gold needles ensures that energy is not dispersed, preventing damage to the skin surface and reducing energy loss.
The Gold Needle treatment can be safely performed in any season, and any redness that occurs post-treatment subsides within a few hours.
Additionally, mineral fillers and various mesotherapy treatments that stimulate collagen synthesis can help reduce pore size by tightening the skin.
