Enlarged pores
Treating enlarged pores
Just like skin types differ, your pores are as unique as you are! They come in all shapes and sizes – large, small, clogged, clear… Especially if you have enlarged pores, you may want to “get rid of them.” In reality, you can’t get rid of pores – and honestly, you wouldn’t want to. They serve an important purpose. But with our treatment for enlarged pores, you can make them appear smaller!
The function of a pore
A pore is a tiny opening in the skin connected to a sebaceous or sweat gland. The function of pores is to allow hair to grow and provide a safe channel for sebum to reach the skin’s surface. Sebum is essential for keeping your skin healthy, supple, and hydrated.
What causes enlarged pores?
There are several reasons why you might have enlarged pores. Aside from genetics, pores can become more visible due to:
- Aging: with the right products and treatments, you can keep pores clean and free of debris or bacteria, which helps your skin look clear and fresh – whether you’re 18 or 80.
- Sun damage: excessive exposure to the sun can cause pores to appear larger.
- Comedogenic (pore-clogging) makeup & incorrect skincare: pores clogged with dirt, oil, and dead skin cells can stretch and appear larger.
Treating enlarged pores
Do you have large, visible pores on your face, for example on the nose or cheeks? While enlarged pores are harmless, they can be persistent and difficult to treat. Incorrect treatment may worsen the condition or only offer temporary results.

During a consultation, we will assess which treatment is best suited to your needs. We also offer a range of products that help minimize pores and refine the skin. Feel free to ask us for advice!
