What are Enlarged Pores?
Enlarged pores are visible openings on the skin's surface where hair follicles reside, and they can appear larger due to excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, or loss of skin elasticity. They're most commonly seen in areas like the nose, forehead, and cheeks. Factors such as genetics, ageing, sun damage, and clogged pores can all contribute to their appearance.
While pores are a natural part of the skin, they can become more noticeable over time—especially when the skin loses firmness or when oil and debris stretch them. With the right skincare and treatments, their appearance can be minimised for a smoother, more refined look.
What can I do at home to manage my Enlarged Pores?
Managing enlarged pores at home involves keeping your skin clean, balanced, and well-exfoliated. Start with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping your skin. Incorporate products with niacinamide, which can help tighten pores and regulate oil production, and retinol, which supports cell turnover and improves skin texture over time. Always use an SPF 50+, as sun damage can weaken skin structure and make pores appear larger.
Staying consistent with your routine and avoiding heavy or pore-clogging products will help maintain a clearer, more refined complexion.
What treatments can I do to help with my Enlarged Pores?
There are several effective in-clinic treatments that can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and improve overall skin texture.
Chemical peels exfoliate the skin deeply, unclogging pores and refining their appearance. Skin needling stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten the skin and make pores appear smaller over time. Laser treatments target deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen and improve firmness.
With a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin type and concerns, we can help you achieve a clearer, more refined complexion.
