About your concern
Understanding enlarged pores
Pores are natural openings in the skin. They become more noticeable when their size, surrounding texture or the material within them makes them stand out, particularly across the nose, cheeks and forehead.
Genetics, oil production and congestion can influence their appearance. Changes in skin firmness and sun exposure may also make pores look more prominent over time.
Pores are a normal part of healthy skin and cannot be permanently closed. The focus is on reducing their visibility and improving the surrounding skin texture.
Recommendations
Recommended treatments for enlarged pores
Microneedling
Microneedling may improve the appearance of visible pores by supporting changes in skin texture and collagen. It can be considered where pores are part of a wider concern about uneven-looking skin.
Carbon Laser Peel
A Carbon Laser Peel uses a carbon preparation and laser treatment as part of a professional skin-cleansing and resurfacing approach. It may suit certain skins where oiliness and congestion contribute to visible pores. A patch test is required.
Dermalogica Pro60 Facial
A Dermalogica Pro60 Facial can be tailored around cleansing, exfoliation and hydration. It is an option when managing the condition of the skin’s surface is the main priority.
Your questions
Enlarged pores FAQs
Can pores be permanently closed?
No. Pores have a normal function and remain part of your skin. Treatment and skincare may make them less noticeable, but claims of permanently closing or removing them are unrealistic.
Why are my pores more noticeable on my nose?
The nose is an area where oil production can be more noticeable. Oil and material within the pores can make them stand out, even when you cleanse regularly.
Are enlarged pores a sign that my skin is dirty?
No. Genetics and skin type play a significant role. Scrubbing harder does not change those factors and can irritate your skin.
Can pores look larger as I get older?
They can become more noticeable as the surrounding skin loses firmness. If that is part of your concern, we may consider skin quality alongside early signs of ageing.
