Best Treatments For Pore Enlargements

Enlarged pores are a common cosmetic concern that make the skin appear uneven, oily, or aged. Often caused by excess oil production, loss of skin elasticity, clogged pores, or genetics, they’re most noticeable on the cheeks, nose, and forehead—where texture irregularities can affect overall skin clarity and smoothness.

Refine Pores and Smooth Skin Texture

We combine treatments like RF microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and pore-tightening topicals to shrink enlarged pores. These methods work by boosting collagen, exfoliating dead skin cells, and reducing oil buildup—giving skin a clearer, more refined appearance.
