Enlarged Pores

Enlarged Pores

 

The pores in our skin are small “openings” on the surface, providing a pathway for sweat and sebum to exit the skin. They have an important role as they aid the body in eliminating oils and toxins.

There are three known determining factors that affect pore size:

  1. Genetics.
  2. Oily Skin – People who have naturally oily skin have larger pores since more oil comes through the pores.
  3. Age and sun damage – as skin ages, sebaceous gland, cell renewal activity, and collagen and elastin production decreases, thereby increasing the appearance of visible pores.

However, Viora’s proprietary technologies can reduce pore size and sebum production.

Viora Enlarged Pore Contraction treatment is clinically proven, safe, and comfortable, with no downtime. Viora’s V-ST handpiece with CORE™ Technology provides an excellent source for fibroblast stimulation leading to the production of new collagen and elastane.

Frequently Asked Questions

What treatments reduce enlarged pores?

Sanctuaire MD offers microneedling, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing to minimize pore size.

What are tips to reduce or avoid enlarged pores?
  • Gently exfoliate your skin (such as Viora Pristine™) – it further activates cells, cleaning deeply into the pores and preventing large pores from being noticeable to the eye.
  • Dehydrated skin must be moisturized (such as Viora Intensive Hydration™ ampoule) – moisturizing skin is essential to nourishing skin by creating a barrier between large pores and unwanted oils and debris.
  • Remove cosmetics thoroughly each night. • Cleanse skin — keep pores tight by using a gentle cleanser appropriate for your skin type. • Use “professional” anti-aging skincare regimes, including masks and peels – it will help minimize pore size. • Protect your skin from sun damage – use high factor SPF cream.
  • Don’t use heavy make-up – makeup can cause pores to appear enlarged, especially when it’s not properly washed off. It can also settle in and around pores to highlighting them instead of hiding them.
How does microneedling help with enlarged pores?

Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which tightens skin and reduces pore visibility.

Are chemical peels effective for enlarged pores?

Yes, they exfoliate the skin and remove debris, reducing the appearance of pores.

Can skincare products help with enlarged pores?

Using non-comedogenic and pore-refining products can complement in-office treatments. Sanctuaire MD offers skincare products that could protect your skin.
