About Large Pores
Pores are a natural part of our skin and serve as tiny openings for sweat, oil, and hair follicles. However, when pores become clogged with excess sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells, they can appear enlarged and contribute to an uneven or dull complexion. By targeting the underlying causes of pore enlargement, in-office treatments can help to reduce the appearance of visible pores and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
Non-invasive cosmetic skincare procedures have been developed to address a range of skin concerns, including pore size reduction. These treatments work by stimulating collagen and elastin production, promoting cell turnover, and removing impurities from the surface of the skin. Removing dead skin cells and promoting healthy skin rejuvenation can lead to a visible reduction in pore size and an overall improvement in skin quality.
Why Do People Get Enlarged Pores?
Although actual pore size is genetic, there are several reasons why pores become enlarged. These include the following. (1)
- High sebum excretion
- Decreased skin elasticity around pores
- Increased hair follicle volume
- Chronic recurrent acne
- Sex hormones
- Skin care regimen
Large pores can be a frustrating and persistent problem for many people. While they are a common occurrence, they can be difficult to treat with over-the-counter products or at-home remedies. Luckily, there are several professional treatments available that can help reduce their appearance.
Laser & Light Treatments
Laser and light-based devices are hugely popular minimally-invasive and non-invasive ways to achieve skin rejuvenation. Patients can choose from a wide selection of treatment modalities to ensure their skin looks its radiant best.
MiXto CO2 Laser
The MiXto SX CO2 laser is a powerful tool for reducing pore size and improving skin texture. It’s a micro fractional treatment that provides rejuvenating results for patients of all skin types. This treatment works by removing the outer layer of the skin, stimulating collagen production, and tightening the underlying tissue. The result is smoother, tighter skin with smaller pores.
What Else Does CO2 Laser Resurfacing Treat?
- Acne
- Sun Damage
- Hyperpigmentation
- Birthmarks
- Pigmented Lesions
- Skin Laxity
- Fine Lines
- Wrinkles
Carbon dioxide lasers have been used cosmetically and medically for many years to treat a wide range of skin conditions. The technology is so effective because the laser emits energy at a wavelength that is absorbed by intracellular water, which is heated and vaporized. This causes a controlled injury in the tissue that remodels the skin and promotes new collagen production and collagen fibril tightening. (2)
IPL PhotoFacial
IPL PhotoFacial treatment is a non-invasive way to achieve smoother, more radiant skin. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an effective treatment for large pores, using broad-spectrum light to target pigmented and vascular lesions, as well as stimulate collagen production. This leads to a reduction in pore size and an overall improvement in skin texture. IPL may also be used to treat aging skin and photodamage without the need for extensive downtime.
Other Benefits of IPL
- Light energy tackles the root cause of acne as well as the symptoms
- Treats a large surface area, speeding up treatment
- Permanently prevents hair growth in the follicle
- Effective treatment for rosacea and facial redness
- Resurfaces skin by targeting cells deep in the dermis
Hollywood Laser Peel
The Spectra Hollywood Laser Peel is a gentle yet effective treatment that can improve skin tone, texture, and pore size. This treatment uses a unique laser wavelength to gently heat the skin and stimulate collagen production. It also targets melanin in the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation and sun damage.
3-Steps to Skin Heaven
- Application of Spectra black carbon cream to prepare for the laser treatment
- Heating of the skin with laser energy disrupts pigmentation issues and promotes new collagen production
- Application of nanosecond laser pulses that exfoliate and resurface the skin
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive treatment that uses heat energy to gently induce skin remodeling. Because there’s no tissue damage, recovery is simple and comfortable. What’s more, there’s zero downtime!
Why Choose Laser Genesis?
- Evens out skin texture and reduces pore size
- Reduces skin redness and targets hyperpigmented areas
- Improves acne and blemish-prone skin
- Promotes skin cell regeneration

Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are another effective way to rejuvenate the skin and reduce pore size. These treatments use a combination of acids and enzymes to remove dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. They can also help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
- Improvement in skin texture and tone
- Reduction in the size of pores
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhanced overall skin radiance and brightness
- Improved skin hydration and moisture retention
- Safe and effective treatment with minimal downtime

We offer a range of pore-refining chemical peels at Skin Perfect, so please inquire at your personal consultation to find the right one for your needs.
Hydrafacial
The HydraFacial is a non-invasive, multi-step treatment that delivers immediate and long-lasting results for all skin types. It works by utilizing a patented Vortex Fusion technology that delivers a powerful stream of water, along with specialized serums, onto the skin. This process not only cleanses and exfoliates the skin but also infuses it with hydrating and nourishing ingredients. The result is smoother, more even skin tone, reduced pore appearance, and a glowing complexion.
What Can I Expect from a HydraFacial?
- Deep cleansing and exfoliation
- Hydration and nourishment
- Fine line and wrinkle reduction
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Minimized pores
- A fast, convenient procedure
Microneedling
Microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling are minimally invasive treatments that use small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and can help reduce the appearance of large pores. As well as this, microneedling can help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while simultaneously smoothing and tightening the skin.
Microneedling Options at Skin Perfect
- Skinpen
- VirtueRF
- Vivace
- Sylfirm X
Autologous Conditioned Plasma
Autologous conditioned (ACP) therapy is another treatment that can help reduce pore size and improve skin texture. It relies on the healing attributes of growth factors, molecules that regulate cell growth and proliferation. This treatment involves collecting a sample of the patient’s own blood, processing it to isolate growth factors, and then injecting them back into the skin. This stimulates collagen production and promotes cell regeneration.
Cosmeceuticals
Medical-grade cosmetic products are a great way to improve skin quality, used alone or in conjunction with an in-office treatment. Choose the most effective products from our wide selection of cosmeceutical.
