The Laser Enlarged Pore Treatment is a non-invasive treatment that reduces/treats pores for aged or photodamaged skin where the pores start to appear larger and more noticeable, usually patients are between 30-60 years old. People with large pores resulting from acne may see some improvement as well.

There are two main factors that contribute to large pores: genetics and age. People who have skin that is naturally thick and oily tend to have larger pores. As people get older, too, sun damage and decreased skin elasticity can cause pores to dilate. The skin thickens, causing tiny cells to collect around the edge of the pores, making them look larger. Blackheads are also a big contributor to large pores. When the pore becomes clogged with dirt and bacteria, oil within the pore begins to accumulate, causing the pore’s diameter to expand.

Do I see results immediately?

After the initial first treatment, you may feel the skin on your face is a bit tighter. Noticeable differences are not usually visible until after several sessions. It takes up to weeks for new collagen to develop, so in that time you will continue to see improvements in your complexion and reduction in pore size after treatment. A series of 3-8 treatments to start with are recommended.

Is there anything special I need to do to take care of my skin after this procedure?

We recommended that you wear sunblock after any laser procedure. Sun protection is vital in the prevention of any additional damage to your skin.

Supplementation with a multivitamin or a hair, skin, and nails vitamin can help to nourish your and promote healthy skin. After the procedure, you may be able to use facial creams and serums to help your skin repair itself.
