Can laser treatment reduce the size of enlarged pores?
Yes. It is a non-invasive laser that penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate the formation of new collagen, which plumps the skin and in turn tightens and reduces pore size. A session takes 15 to 30 minutes and is relatively painless — you feel a gentle warming of the skin. Skin begins tightening after the first treatment, an average of five treatments is recommended for optimal results, and improvement continues for up to six months after the first session.
What is the cause?
Pore size is often attributed to genetics and can affect the type of skin we have. Pores are enlarged when dirt, oil, and/or debris becomes trapped within. Both acne and sun damage are also culprits in causing pores to appear larger and more noticeable. However, through appropriate laser treatment, pore tightening can be a quick, painless, and highly effective procedure.
What is laser pore reduction?
It is a non-invasive laser technology that treats large pores, uneven texture, fine wrinkles, acne scarring, excessive redness and rosacea conditions. The most common treated areas include, but are not limited to the face, neck, and chest.
How does it work?
The laser works by penetrating deep into the skin to stimulate the formation of new collagen. This will cause your skin to plump-up, so to speak, and in turn will tighten and reduce pore size.
What can I expect?
This short procedure can take between 15-30 minutes and is relatively painless. You’ll experience a gentle warming of the skin as pores are minimized, imperfections diminished and redness reduced. Your skin will begin tightening after the first treatment, but a customized treatment cycle will provide optimal results. On average, 5 treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results, although every patient’s condition and need varies. Improvement will continue up to 6 months after your first treatment. You will experience no downtime and can even apply make-up immediately after the procedure.
