I have enlarged pores

Like acne, enlarged pores are one of the most frequent skin issues. These small openings tend to become clogged, making them appear open. This causes the skin texture to look rough and uneven, and the complexion to appear dull. Dr. Aimé offers several treatment options to address this skin imperfection.

Why Do Enlarged Pores Occur ?

Pores are small skin openings connected to sebaceous glands (which produce sebum), sweat glands, and hair follicles. These tiny holes help hydrate and nourish the skin. They form a network of slight irregularities that make up the skin’s texture, which becomes less smooth when pores are enlarged.

Enlarged pores are mainly due to an imbalance in the skin, often when it is too oily. The pores become clogged by excessive sebum production. This condition is often linked to skin type and can be genetically predisposed. Hormonal factors also play a major role, especially during puberty and menopause.

Lifestyle habits can also contribute to enlarged pores. A diet rich in fats, excessive UV exposure, using skincare products that aren’t suited to your skin, or poor skin maintenance can all lead to clogged pores.

What Solutions Does Dr. Aimé Use to Treat Enlarged Pores ?

Enlarged pores are not a permanent issue. Dr. Aimé offers advanced aesthetic medicine techniques that are effective and well-tolerated, helping you treat enlarged pores and achieve a radiant complexion.

  • Fractional Laser to Tighten Pores and Smooth the Skin
    The laser technique is a highly effective aesthetic treatment for tightening pores. It works by applying a laser beam to the skin’s surface. The heat stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, more toned, and better hydrated. Skin texture improves, and pores tighten.
  • Chemical Peels to Improve Skin Quality
    Peels are an excellent option for cleansing the skin. This treatment involves applying a chemical solution based on fruit acids to the skin. These substances exfoliate, deeply cleanse, and remove the cells clogging the pores. The peel regulates sebum production, smooths the skin, and tightens enlarged pores.
  • Hydrafacial to Unclog Pores
    Hydrafacial is an innovative, patented treatment designed to unclog, cleanse, and hydrate the skin. This unique medical procedure removes excess sebum through a combination of three specific cleansing steps, gently exfoliating the skin and extracting blackheads. It’s a complete purifying and hydrating treatment.
    Effective and minimally invasive, this approach is a safe way to unclog pores.
  • Microneedling Skin Pen
    Microneedling Skin Pen uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-perforations in targeted areas of the skin. This technique stimulates collagen production, leading to dermal regeneration and tightening of the pores.
  • Zo Skin Health Dermocosmetics
    The Zo Skin Health Obagi dermocosmetic range offers high-performance skincare products. One collection specifically targets sebum control and pore tightening. This routine helps address the needs of skin with a dull complexion, and its deep action extends the effects of treatments performed in the clinic.

What Are the Results of Treatments for Enlarged Pores ?

The results are gradual, but improvement can be seen after the first session.

Depending on the treatment used, you’ll notice significant changes: enlarged pores will tighten as the skin regenerates, giving it a smoother appearance. You will also observe a clearer, more radiant complexion.

To ensure patient satisfaction, it’s essential that the proposed solution is the most suitable for your needs. For this reason, Dr. Aimé offers her full expertise and sees you for an initial consultation at her medical practice to assess your skin condition and determine the best approach for you.
