Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores and blackheads are among the most common skin concerns. Structurally, pores tend to be larger in oily skin types and individuals with acne issues. Additionally, genetic predisposition, intense sun exposure, and aging can also make pores more prominent.
With enlarged pores, oil, dead skin cells, and dirt accumulation can lead to the formation of blackheads. Poor diet, hormonal imbalances, and stress can also cause excessive oil production by the sebaceous glands and the formation of blackheads. Blackheads are not only aesthetically displeasing but also increase the risk of acne formation. Therefore, topical treatments applied to reduce blackheads accumulated in the pores and periodic skincare routines also help reduce acne formation.
Treatments for Enlarged Pores
1. Cool Peel Application with Fractional CO2 Laser:
Cool peel application is a type of skin rejuvenation and peeling procedure performed with a very superficial laser. Rough appearance and spots on the skin are eliminated. Since it also stimulates collagen synthesis, along with skin renewal and radiance, pores also begin to shrink. It is a powerful application to reduce pores. It can be applied 2 or 3 times a month. Redness and slight peeling naturally diminish within a few days. The individual can easily continue with their daily activities without interruption.
2. Microneedle Radiofrequency Treatment (Gold Needle):
The very fine needles in the gold needle head provide heat energy to the skin with radiofrequency as they enter the skin at a certain depth. Since both the entry of the needles into the skin and the heat energy stimulate collagen production, both acne scars and enlarged pores gradually fill and decrease. Tightening and radiance in the skin are also felt with collagen stimulation. Since topical anesthesia is applied before the procedure, the pain felt is minimal, and redness that occurs after the procedure recedes within a few hours. The actual effects of gold needle application are more pronounced after the third session. Sessions are performed once a month, and treatment continues until the desired results are achieved.
3. Dermapen Treatment:
The aim of dermapen treatment is to stimulate collagen by penetrating the skin with the fine needles of the dermapen head. The skin's wound healing mechanism is triggered by micro traumas to the skin, resulting in increased collagen synthesis. As collagen synthesis increases, both acne indentations begin to fill and enlarged pores shrink, renewing the skin.
Every skin is unique to the individual. Therefore, it is crucial to provide health solutions and medical support tailored to the individual with a personalized treatment approach.
