Large Pores Treatments – Sydney & Canberra

Have Large Pores? Cosmos Clinic can help to reduce your pore size

Large Pores or enlarged pores on the face are a very frustrating problem for many people. Large pores are prone to forming blackheads and acne. Large pores also often stand out and are more noticeable when makeup is applied. Treatment of large pores in the past has been mainly directed towards drying agents to reduce oil production in the skin. These treatments do help, but they are a short term solution and don’t change the skins structure in a way to reduce enlarged pores and pore size permanently.

What causes large pores?

Large pores are generally caused by 2 primary factors.

• Excess Skin Oil Production- People with oily skin have more oil producing cells in their sebaceous glands. The more sebum that’s produced the larger the pores become
• Aging of the Skin- As our face skin ages many very significant changes occur. The most striking aging change is loss of collagen. Collagen is a very important supporting structure in the skin. When collagen is lost with aging, the oil glands and pores loose support and become lax and the pores become enlarged.

Large Pores Treatment

Treating large pores is done by improving the overall quality of the skin. Removing the upper layers of dead skin and stimulating new collagen production is the objective. Once this has been achieved, maintaining the results through the use of a good quality sunscreen and a potent form of topical vitamin A is recommended.

• PDT (for removing upper dead layers of skin and overall facial rejuvenation)
• Fractionated lasers (for stimulating new collagen)
• Daily skincare
