No product can close a pore. The right treatment can significantly reduce its appearance.
Enlarged pores are a structural issue, not a cleansing issue. They become visible when the surrounding collagen weakens, when excess oil stretches the opening over time, or when sun damage thins the skin around each follicle.
Pore-minimizing products absorb surface oil or fill the opening cosmetically. Neither changes the actual size of the pore or addresses the structural cause.
Pore size is largely genetic, but its visible appearance is strongly influenced by collagen density and oil activity.
Excess oil production stretches the pore repeatedly and is the factor most strongly linked to pore size. Collagen loss around the pore loosens the surrounding support. Accumulated debris can temporarily widen the visible opening. UV damage thickens the outer skin while degrading the collagen beneath it. Over time, pores can elongate from round to teardrop-shaped. Hormonal changes can also affect pore appearance.
Stimulates collagen remodeling around each pore to tighten the visible opening and improve skin firmness. Also boosts hyaluronic acid (the skin's natural moisture molecule) production, improving hydration and texture surrounding the pore.

Learn moreA no-downtime laser facial that improves clarity, reduces excess oil, and refines pore appearance over a series of sessions. Comfortable and safe for all skin types, including oily and combination skin.
Learn moreTargeted surface refinement for localized areas of enlarged pores, particularly concentrated areas such as the nose and inner cheeks.
Learn moreA superficial neurotoxin treatment that may help reduce pore appearance by decreasing oil production. The rationale is supported by the role of excess oil in pore enlargement, though high-quality evidence for this specific indication is limited.
Learn morePores cannot be eliminated. They are functional structures the skin needs. The goal is to restore support so they return to a less visible size. Most treatments require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. Improvement is gradual, with continued refinement over several months as collagen remodels.
Visible pores result from weakened collagen support, not poor cleansing. The most effective approach combines collagen rebuilding (EXION, HELIX) with surface refinement (MOTUS GLO, PLEXR) and oil control (Mesotox) to address multiple contributing factors.
Treatment works by rebuilding the structural support around each pore rather than removing surface debris. Your clinician will assess which factors are most prominent in your skin and recommend accordingly.
No. Pores are functional structures. The goal is to reduce their visible size by rebuilding collagen support around them.
They provide temporary cosmetic improvement by removing surface debris, but they do not change the structural size of the pore.
Yes. A consistent routine helps maintain results between treatments. Gentle daily cleansing, a salicylic acid exfoliant to keep pores clear, retinol to support collagen around the pore, and daily SPF 30 or higher to prevent further UV damage. Avoid heavy scrubbing, which can irritate the skin and make pores more visible. Your clinician can recommend specific products suited to your skin type.
Collagen loss loosens the support around each pore. Gravity and ongoing oil production can elongate them from round to teardrop-shaped.
