Minimize Pores & Achieve a Smoother Complexion With Targeted Skin Treatments
Enlarged pores are a common cosmetic concern that appear as visible openings on the skin’s surface, often on the nose, cheeks, forehead, and chin. Pores are natural openings that allow oil (sebum) and sweat to reach the skin’s surface. When excess oil, dead skin cells, or debris accumulate, pores can stretch and appear larger.
Several factors contribute to enlarged pores, including genetics, oily skin, sun damage, and aging. Over time, as collagen and elasticity decline, the skin loses firmness around the pore openings, making them appear more prominent. Though enlarged pores are not medically harmful, they can affect skin texture and overall appearance.
Professional treatments focus on refining skin structure, regulating oil production, and stimulating collagen to minimize pore visibility. Advanced procedures such as Agnes RF®, chemical peels, facials, NOUVADerm™, and Scarlet RF® target the underlying causes and improve overall skin health.

Treatments for Enlarged Pores
Agnes RF®
Agnes RF® is a precision radiofrequency microneedling treatment that targets the causes of enlarged pores by shrinking overactive sebaceous glands and stimulating collagen production. Using insulated microneedles, RF energy is delivered deep into the skin to remodel tissue, improve elasticity, and reduce pore size.
This treatment is particularly effective for individuals with oily skin or chronic pore enlargement and requires little downtime. Over several sessions, pores become less visible, and the skin’s texture appears smoother and more refined.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help refine the skin’s surface and minimize enlarged pores by exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells. Peels formulated with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or lactic acid penetrate the skin to clear clogged pores, balance oil, and stimulate new cell growth.
Consistent peel treatments can enhance smoothness, even skin tone, and visibly reduce the appearance of large pores. Depending on peel strength, mild redness or flaking may occur temporarily.
Facials
Professional facials provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration to maintain clear, balanced skin. Specialized facials for oily or combination skin help remove impurities, regulate sebum, and prevent further pore dilation.
Regular maintenance facials complement advanced procedures, supporting long-term skin clarity and improving the effectiveness of other treatments.
NOUVADerm™
NOUVADerm™ is a fractional thulium laser treatment that helps improve overall skin texture, reduce congestion, and refine enlarged pores. The laser energy targets the upper layers of the skin to encourage controlled resurfacing and collagen renewal without damaging surrounding tissue.
NOUVADerm™ treatments promote smoother skin and tighter pore openings while supporting natural hydration and barrier health. Sessions are comfortable, brief, and involve minimal recovery time.
Scarlet RF®
Scarlet RF® uses microneedling combined with fractional radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and improve pore structure. By stimulating deep collagen remodeling, the treatment strengthens the tissue surrounding pores, reducing their size and improving overall firmness.
Over time, Scarlet RF® enhances both pore appearance and skin tone, making it an excellent option for patients with visible pores due to aging or skin laxity.
FAQs
Are enlarged pores permanent?
Pores are a natural part of the skin and cannot disappear completely, but their size and appearance can be minimized with consistent care and professional treatments.
What causes enlarged pores to get worse over time?
Collagen loss, sun exposure, and buildup of oil or debris can cause pores to stretch. Using harsh products or neglecting skincare can also make them appear larger.
Can enlarged pores lead to other skin issues?
When pores become clogged, they can lead to blackheads, acne, or uneven skin tone. Keeping them clean and balanced helps prevent these issues.
How often should I get treatments for enlarged pores?
Frequency depends on the treatment type and your skin’s condition. For example, chemical peels may be performed monthly, while RF microneedling sessions like Agnes RF® or Scarlet RF® are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Are at-home pore strips or masks effective?
They can provide temporary results by removing surface debris, but they don’t address underlying causes like collagen loss or overactive oil glands. Professional treatments offer longer-lasting improvements.
Is it safe to treat enlarged pores if I have sensitive skin?
Most professional treatments can be adjusted for sensitive skin. Your provider will customize techniques and product choices to ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
