Pore treatment

How it works

A pore cannot be removed. What can be done is to make tiny wounds in the dermis around it — with fine needles or a laser — so that collagen fills in during healing and the opening looks tighter. That is why improvement comes in steps over several sessions rather than at once.

Used for

• Widened pores on the nose and cheeks
• Pores enlarged by heavy oil production
• Pores accompanied by shallow acne marks

Cautions

• No treatment removes pores permanently
• They widen again unless oil production itself is addressed
• Expect redness and flaking for a few days afterwards

Aftercare

• Let the flaking of days three to five come off on its own
• Be strict with sunscreen
• Pause irritating skincare while the skin recovers
