Large pores can be a concern for those aiming for a smooth, even complexion. These enlarged skin openings often appear in people with oily skin, where active sebaceous (oil) glands contribute to their prominence. Ageing can further increase pore visibility as skin naturally loses elasticity. Thankfully, we offer a range of treatments specifically designed to minimise large pores, targeting the unique factors that contribute to their appearance. Here’s a look at each treatment and its benefits.
Medical-grade skincare products can play a key role in pore refinement. Formulated to regulate oil production, exfoliate dead skin cells, and improve skin texture, these products contain active ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, and niacinamide. They work to keep pores clear, refined, and less visible. Consistent use of medical-grade skincare delivers lasting results, especially when combined with in-office treatments. We recommend premium ranges like Obagi, ZO Medical, and Mesoestetic, and we offer prescription retinoids if indicated. For best results, daily, ongoing use is typically advised.
Microneedling involves creating tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. This process can help reduce pore size by enhancing the firmness and resilience of the skin. Typically performed in a series of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, microneedling is popular for those seeking gradual, natural improvements in skin texture. For added benefits, we often combine microneedling with exosome therapy to further support skin repair and rejuvenation, amplifying the results.
Intracel is an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy for intensive pore refinement. The RF energy penetrates deeper into the skin, stimulating collagen at a profound level. This combination not only minimises pore size but also tightens the skin, making it ideal for those seeking more visible improvements in texture. Generally, two to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, are recommended to achieve optimal results.
Halo is a hybrid fractional laser considered the gold standard for pore reduction. Combining both ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths, it targets the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action technology effectively refines skin texture, minimises pores, and stimulates collagen production. Halo usually requires one to two treatments, and results continue to improve over several months, leading to a smoother, more even skin texture with significantly reduced pores.
