Large pores can be made visibly smaller with the right skincare and treatment at the practice.
Many people want smooth, even skin, and visibly large pores on the forehead, nose and cheeks can get in the way.
With the right skincare and treatment at the practice, though, they can be made visibly smaller.
Why do pores get large?
Pore size is mostly genetic, but some things can make them look bigger:
- excess sebum, common with oily or combination skin
- hormonal changes
- clogged pores, when dead skin cells block the openings
- sun damage, because UV rays break down collagen and the skin loses firmness
- ageing, as the skin loosens and pores look wider
- not cleansing enough, since leftover make-up and dirt can widen pores over time
What you can do at home
Before thinking about treatment, it's worth looking at your skincare:
- cleanse gently but thoroughly, morning and evening
- use a BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliant to dissolve excess oil in the pores
- use niacinamide to regulate oil and strengthen the skin barrier
- use retinol to stimulate collagen
- wear SPF 50 or higher every day
If you like, we can analyse your skin and put together a skincare routine that suits you.
Treatments at our practice in Vienna
If you want a clearer result, aesthetic treatments can help. We offer:
1. Microneedling
Tiny channels in the skin stimulate collagen and elastin. The skin gets smoother and pores look smaller. We recommend 3 to 5 sessions, 4 weeks apart.
2. Fractional laser
The laser makes tiny targeted injuries that trigger renewal and tighten the skin. It also helps with acne scars.
3. Chemical peels
Medium-depth chemical peels or deeper peels with trichloroacetic acid remove dead skin cells and speed up renewal.
4. Radiofrequency microneedling
Adds radiofrequency heat to microneedling, which firms the skin more. We recommend four sessions.
How long do the results last?
One treatment usually isn't enough forever. Good skincare and the occasional top-up help the result last. Sun protection matters most.
