Open Pores

Open Pores: Minimizing Visibility and Refining Texture

Enlarged or “open” pores are a very common cosmetic concern, giving the skin a less refined appearance. Pores appear enlarged when they become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, or when the collagen surrounding the pore opening weakens due to aging.

Based on the advanced treatments available at the clinic (like Microneedling and MNRF), here is content focusing on addressing open pores

Excess Sebum Production

Overactive oil glands lead to more sebum flowing to the skin surface, making the pore opening appear larger. 

Reduced Collagen/Elastin

As skin ages, the collagen and elastin fibers that structurally support the pore walls weaken. 

Congestion

Accumulation of dirt, dead skin cells, and makeup traps oil inside the pore. 

Advanced Treatment Options for Open Pores

Surgical OptionsMNRF (Microneedling with RF)

The gold standard for pore reduction. RF energy penetrates deep, causing collagen to shrink and remodel around the pore lining. 

Microneedling (CIT)

Controlled micro-injuries trigger new collagen production, which builds up around the pores, making them appear smaller. 

Chemical Peels

Specific acid formulations (like Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid) are used to dissolve oil and dead cells deep within the pore. 

HydraFacial

The Vortex-Fusion technology deeply cleanses pores and removes congestion, immediately minimizing their appearance and preventing future clogs. 

Topical Therapy

Prescribed retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives) to regulate cell turnover and prevent dead skin buildup inside the pores.
