Can You Really Shrink Pores?

Ever heard of the dreaded strawberry nose or orange peel cheek? These happen when large pores stand in the way of satiny smooth and even textured skin. Many factors can cause large pores, but the three main culprits are:

1. Excess sebum production: Sebum is a substance created by sebaceous glands to naturally hydrate our skin. Excessive output, however, can cause big pores, oily skin, and acne.

2. Hormones: This is the reason why pores in certain areas (the nose, forehead, cheeks) can appear larger. Men are more likely to have large pores due to their genetic makeup and higher testosterone levels.

3. Ageing: Age causes us to gradually lose elasticity in the surrounding skin that supports pores, causing pores to appear bigger than they are.

CAN YOU SHRINK PORES?

Yes, you can! While it’s not possible to be poreless, these treatments will help to make pores smaller and less visible.

FOR SMALLER PORES, & SMOOTHER, MATTIFIED SKIN

Combine with an ultrasonic deep clean for comprehensive exfoliation and deep cleaning of clogged pores.
Long Pulsed Laser

+ A skin rejuvenation laser with no downtime

+ Bypasses the skin’s surface to target deep structures such as oil glands and blood vessels

+ Stimulates collagen regeneration

 

How it works
Pore sizes are related to the size of the sebaceous gland and hair follicle. This laser shrinks large pores by first targeting overactive oil glands to reduce sebum output, and also by permanently removing the hair follicle.

 

FOR SMALLER PORES, BRIGHTER SKIN, & IMPROVED TONE & TEXTURE

Combine with Picolaser, Broadband light or Profractional laser to address effects of sun damage such as wrinkles and pigmentation.
Microlaser Peel

+ A scanning Erbium YAG laser that precisely removes the topmost layers of damaged skin

+ Refreshes tired skin

 

How it works
With each treatment, this laser removes a preset thickness of old and damaged skin. During this process, pores are also shaved down at the top, leaving behind a smaller, visible opening.

 

FOR FIRMER, SMOOTHER, MORE EVENLY TEXTURED SKIN. ALSO FADES SCARS, WRINKLES, LINES WITH EACH TREATMENT 

Combine with Microlaser Peel for synergising pore minimising effects.
Profractional Laser

+ An exceptional skin resurfacing treatment

+ Creates tiny microchannels in the skin to boost collagen

+ Delivers supple, youthful looking tone and texture

 

How it works
Each pore opening is held in a closed position by a band of tissue near its opening. This opening becomes increasingly lax as our skin loses collagen during ageing. This laser intensely stimulates collagen production around each band, restoring a firm grip around pore openings.
