ENLARGED PORES

Excessive sebum causes enlarged pores, this occurs when a person's sebaceous gland produces a lot of oil.

Age - As we age, the skin loses elasticity and its ability to retain moisture. The loss of these functions, in particular the loss of elasticity in the skin, results in the skin stretching over time, ultimately leading to enlarged pores.

Poor or absent skincare regime - Lack of skincare regime, or poor skin regime

Genetics and hormonal imbalances can also cause a change pore size.

 It is likely you will require a combination of in-clinic treatments. The treatment plan will be custom-designed to specifically focus on your issues, type of skin and condition. This will be discussed prior to your treatment. 

For optimum results, a course of 3 – 6 treatments are recommended depending on the severity of the skin condition. This will be considered upon consultation.  

Immediately after the treatment, the skin will likely be red and slightly swollen, with hot and a little bit of burning sensation which will usually settle in about 4 hours. The redness might last a couple of days up to 3 days. 3 to 5 days following the treatment  you might experience some peeling, this is completely normal and is not a cause of concern. 

Everyone's skin is different, therefore everyone will experience different timing when it comes to achieving the results they want.  Slight improvements will be noticeable in 4-6 weeks following the treatment this is the time when our patients tend to notice better skin texture and firmer skin. Optimal results will be 4 weeks after your final treatment. 

Results last for approximately 12 months or more, with the correct homecare routine results should be permanent. Homecare routine will be recommended according to your skin type. However individual factors apply and some clients get a longer or shorter duration.
