Pore-Refining Aesthetic Treatments: Causes of Enlarged Pores and How to Improve Them

Enlarged pores have three main causes: skin ageing (loss of collagen and moisture, with laxity making pores more obvious), excess sebum (too much oil stretching the pores), and imbalanced cleansing (inadequate cleansing allowing dirt to accumulate in pores, while over-cleansing damages the skin barrier).

Four directions for daily care

• Keep regular hours, get enough sleep, and reduce stimulating foods
• Choose a gentle cleanser according to skin type, cleanse before bed, and regularly clean make-up tools
• Exfoliate gently on a regular basis to unclog pores
• Strengthen hydration to reinforce the epidermal barrier

Medical aesthetic treatment: regenerative injectables for pores

For enlarged pores and rough skin, regenerative injectable treatments may be considered. Taking a formula combining poly-D,L-lactic acid (PDLLA) with hyaluronic acid (HA) as an example, the design direction includes stimulating the collagen repair process and supporting structural stability of the skin, and is suitable for treatments related to improving skin quality.

In addition, energy-based treatments such as M22 photorejuvenation and fractional laser, by stimulating collagen production and controlling oil, also help refine pores and improve rough texture.

Precautions

• Regenerative injectables are injection treatments, with risks and individual variation; precautions should be understood first
• Actual results vary with individual skin quality, age and lifestyle
• Before any treatment, it is advisable to have a face-to-face assessment by a doctor of the cause of the enlarged pores
