Large or Open Pores

Treating enlarged pores creates smoother, more refined skin texture that looks and feels better. When we address pore size effectively, your entire complexion appears more polished and even, with that coveted ‘glass skin’ clarity.

You’ll notice makeup applies more smoothly and stays put better throughout the day. Many people find they need less primer and foundation when their skin texture is refined. More importantly, you’ll feel confident going makeup-free when you want to.

The treatments that improve pore appearance also boost overall skin health, creating better tone, clarity, and that natural glow that comes from healthy skin cell turnover.

Large pores appear much more visible than normal-sized pores, creating an uneven skin texture that can make your complexion look dull or tired. They’re particularly noticeable in photos and certain lighting conditions.

Some skin types are naturally more prone to enlarged pores — typically oilier skin types or those with thicker skin. However, pore size also increases with age as our skin loses elasticity and firmness, causing existing pores to appear larger and more noticeable.

Sun damage, clogged pores, and loss of collagen all contribute to pore enlargement over time. The good news is that while you can’t completely eliminate pores (they’re essential for healthy skin function), you can definitely minimize their appearance.

Effective pore reduction requires treatments that address both the immediate appearance and the underlying causes like oil production and skin texture.

Professional treatments:

• Microneedling to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin around pores
• Medical-grade chemical peels that unclog pores and smooth skin texture
• Advanced treatments that refine skin surface and improve overall clarity

Medical-grade skincare:

• Customized routines with proven pore-refining ingredients like retinol and salicylic acid
• Products that regulate oil production without over-drying your skin
• Ongoing maintenance to keep pores clear and minimize their appearance

The key is consistent treatment over time — pore refinement happens gradually as your skin texture improves and collagen production increases.

If your pores seem to look much more prominent in photos or certain lighting, you’re not imagining it. Harsh lighting, camera flash, and certain angles can make pores appear much more obvious than they do in normal, diffused lighting.

This is often made worse when pores are clogged with oil, dead skin cells, or makeup, which creates shadows and makes them appear even larger. Regular professional treatments help keep pores clear and refined so they’re less noticeable in all lighting conditions.

The treatments that improve pore appearance also help your skin reflect light more evenly, creating that smooth, luminous look that photographs beautifully from any angle.
