Enlarged pores are visible openings of hair follicles that appear wider than usual, often due to aging, oily skin, or sun exposure. They are a natural part of your skin’s structure and help release sweat and oil. However, when excess oil, debris, or reduced skin elasticity is present, pores can stretch and become more noticeable. This can lead to a rougher skin texture and make achieving a smooth, even complexion more challenging.
At Summit Plastic Surgery, treatments like RF microneedling and CO2 laser are highly effective in tightening skin and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen and controlling oil production.
While pores can’t be removed completely, they can be significantly minimized with consistent treatment and proper skin care. Our procedures target the underlying causes to deliver long-lasting results.
Factors such as aging, sun damage, genetics, and excess oil production can all lead to larger, more visible pores. Without proper care or treatment, pore size may continue to increase with time.
Yes, we tailor each procedure based on your skin type. RF microneedling and CO2 laser settings can be adjusted to ensure both effectiveness and safety for sensitive or reactive skin.
Many patients notice initial improvement within a few days, with continued refinement over several weeks as collagen remodeling occurs and skin texture improves.
