What causes it
What causes Enlarged Pores?
Genetic
Everyone has facial pores, but the size of pores can vary due to genetics. Genetic factors may cause pores to appear larger or more open.
Aging
As we age, the skin loses firmness and elasticity due to reduced collagen and elastin production. This can cause facial pores to appear larger and the skin to appear looser.
Excessive sebum production
Each pore contains a sebaceous gland that secretes sebum. When sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, the pores may appear larger to allow the sebum to exit the skin. As a result, individuals with oily skin often have more noticeable pores.
Facial pores cannot be eliminated, but their appearance can be minimized by stimulating collagen production and regulating sebum levels..
Treatment Options
The GEM Signature treatment uses a mesotherapy multi-injector to deliver doctor-formulated Signature solutions into multiple layers of the skin. This treatment helps stimulate collagen production, which may improve skin texture and make pores appear smaller by tightening the skin.
GEM HIFUPro is a non-invasive treatment whereby no needles or injections are involved. It directly delivers heat energy into three layers of the skin including the deep SMAS layer to stimulate more collagen. When new collagen is produced, it tightens the skin and reduces pores.
GEM Microlaser is the gold standard collagen stimulation laser to reset and renew problematic skin. The laser delivers heat to the skin and stimulates our body’s natural repair process to rebuild lost collagen. This encourages the growth of new skin and reduces pores.
Similar Conditions
Acne is a common skin condition where tiny openings in the skin, known as hair follicles or pores, become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. This can lead to the buildup of bacteria, causing inflammation.
Acne scars occur as a result of inflammatory acne. When acne causes swelling and damages the follicle wall, the skin attempts to repair itself by forming new collagen fibers. However, the healing process may not be smooth, leading to the formation of acne scars..
