Enlarged Pores
Treatments
Enlarged pores refer to expanded skin openings that are more noticeable, typically occurring on the face, particularly in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin), due to various factors such as genetics, excess oil production, sun damage, and aging.
​
There are several types of enlarged pores:
​
-
Genetic Pores: Some individuals naturally have larger pores due to genetic predisposition, which may run in families.
-
Oily Skin Pores: Excess sebum production can lead to clogged pores and the appearance of larger pores, especially in areas where oil glands are more active, such as the nose and forehead.
-
Sun-Damaged Pores: Prolonged sun exposure can weaken the skin's collagen and elastin fibers, leading to loss of skin elasticity and enlarged pores.
-
Age-Related Pores: As skin ages, it naturally loses collagen and elastin, causing the skin to become less firm and elastic, which can result in enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores primarily occur in the epidermis (outer layer) of the skin, where they are openings of hair follicles and oil glands.
At YJC MED Spa, we offer various treatments to address enlarged pores and improve skin texture:
​
-
Chemical Peels: Exfoliating chemical peels help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, leading to a smoother complexion.
-
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments target the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture, which can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
-
Topical Treatments: Medical-grade skincare products containing ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, and niacinamide can help regulate oil production and minimize the appearance of pores over time.
Our experienced professionals at YJC MED Spa provide personalized consultations to assess each individual's skin concerns and recommend the most suitable treatment options for addressing enlarged pores and achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
