Enlarged pores are a common skin concern for many people. While they are not harmful, they can make the skin appear uneven and become a source of frustration. Let’s explore what causes enlarged pores and how to address this issue.
Causes of Enlarged Pores
- Hair Shaft
Large hair shafts can lead to visibly enlarged pores. - Sebaceous Glands
Overactive or large sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum, causing pores to expand. - Collagen
Deteriorated collagen results in reduced firmness around the pores, leading to sagging and wider pores.
Solutions for Enlarged Pores
- Addressing the Hair Shaft
- Laser treatments such as Photothermal Picosecond Laser, ND-Yag, or Diode Laser.
- Topical applications like Retinoic Acid or other peeling agents.
- Reducing Sebaceous Gland Activity
- Use of topical or oral Retinoids.
- New-generation topical treatments with antiandrogenic effects.
- Laser treatments, such as Picolaser.
- Stimulating Collagen Production
- Topical Retinoic Acid applications.
- Injectable collagen stimulators like PN, PDRN, or PCL.
- Devices such as Picolaser, Fractional CO2, or Radiofrequency.
Importance of Continuous Analysis and Treatment
Accurate skin analysis and ongoing treatments are crucial, as addressing enlarged pores typically requires multiple sessions.
