Large Pores

Large pores are a common skincare concern that can affect individuals of all ages and skin types. While they are a natural part of the skin's anatomy, various factors can cause them to appear more prominent, leading to concerns. At Verve Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of treatments, including chemical peels, microneedling, and advanced skincare advice, to help minimise the appearance of large pores and improve overall skin texture.

Causes of Large Pores

  • Genetics: One of the primary factors influencing pore size is genetics. If your parents have large pores, you are more likely to have them as well.
  • Excess Sebum Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can produce excess oil, which can accumulate in the pores and make them appear larger.
  • Ageing: As we age, skin loses its elasticity and collagen, leading to the sagging of skin around the pores, making them appear larger.
  • Sun Damage: Prolonged sun exposure can damage collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, causing the pores to stretch and appear bigger.
  • Clogged Pores: Accumulation of dead skin cells, oil, and dirt can clog the pores, stretching them out and making them more noticeable.

Signs of large pores

  • Visible Pores: Pores that are clearly visible to the naked eye, often appearing on the nose, cheeks, and forehead.
  • Oily Skin: Large pores are often associated with oily skin, as excess oil can make pores more prominent.
  • Rough Skin Texture: Skin may feel uneven or bumpy due to enlarged pores.
  • Blackheads: Pores filled with debris can lead to blackheads, further highlighting the appearance of large pores.

large pores treatment options

At Verve Medical Aesthetics, we offer several effective treatments to reduce the appearance of large pores and improve skin health:

  1. Chemical Peels Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers and promotes the growth of new, healthier skin. This process can help to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and reduce oil production, ultimately making pores appear smaller. Depending on your skin type and condition, our specialists will recommend the appropriate strength and type of peel.

  2. Microneedling Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother skin with reduced pore size. At Verve Medical Aesthetics, we utilise advanced microneedling devices to ensure precise and effective treatment tailored to your skin's needs.

  3. Skincare A consistent and tailored skincare routine is essential for managing large pores. At Verve Medical Aesthetics, our skincare experts will assess your skin and recommend products that can help to control oil production, exfoliate dead skin cells, and promote healthy skin turnover. Key components of an effective skincare routine may include:

    • Cleansers: Gentle, non-comedogenic cleansers to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin.
    • Exfoliants: Products containing ingredients like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to keep pores clear.
    • Retinoids: Topical retinoids can help to increase cell turnover and reduce the appearance of large pores.
    • Moisturisers: Non-comedogenic moisturisers to keep the skin hydrated without clogging pores.
    • Sunscreen: Broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from UV damage, which can exacerbate large pores.
