Pore Size

Pore Size
  • Description

    Pore size refers to the diameter of the small openings on the skin's surface through which oil (sebum) and sweat reach the surface. Factors like genetics, oil production, skin type, aging, and environmental influences can affect pore size. Enlarged pores are often associated with excess oil production, accumulation of debris, and reduced skin elasticity, leading to a more visible appearance.

  • Cause

    Pore size is primarily determined by genetics, with factors such as oil production, skin type, and aging influencing their appearance. Excessive oil production and the accumulation of dead skin cells can contribute to enlarged pores, while collagen loss and decreased skin elasticity with age can also make pores appear larger. Additionally, sun damage and environmental factors can exacerbate pore enlargement by weakening the skin's structure.

  • Treatment

    Microneedling + PRP:Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, does so by creating microtrauma to the skin. This produces a long-term decrease in pore size, wrinkles, and fine lines. Platelet-rich plasma is used to further induce collagen formation.

    Microneedling RF laser:Microneedling with radiofrequency allows for a controlled skin injury with the use of heat and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen induction.
