About the condition
WHAT ARE ENLARGED PORES?
Enlarged pores are a common skin concern where pores on the skin become more noticeable. They can be caused by genetics, age, and increased sebum production. Often more apparent in areas with higher oil gland activity, such as the nose and forehead, enlarged pores can contribute to an uneven skin texture. While not a health risk, they are often a cosmetic concern and understanding their causes is important for effective treatment and maintenance.

Common Questions
What Causes Enlarged Pores?
Enlarged pores can result from increased sebum production, age, genetics, and skin type. Factors like sun damage and non-comedogenic makeup can also contribute.
Can Enlarged Pores Be Reduced?
While you can’t permanently shrink pores, their appearance can be minimized. Consistent skin care, using products that control oil and promote exfoliation, can help.
Causes of Enlarged Pores
The causes of enlarged pores are often linked to factors like genetics, which determine skin type and pore size, and age, as skin loses elasticity over time, making pores appear larger. Increased oil production can also stretch out pores. Environmental factors like sun exposure can contribute to the appearance of enlarged pores by thickening the skin and reducing its elasticity. Regular skincare and protection from sun damage are key in managing their appearance.
Treatment of Enlarged Pores
For treating enlarged pores, DermDox offers several effective methods. The Virtue RF treatment uses radiofrequency technology to tighten the skin and reduce pore size. The Cool Peel treatment gently resurfaces the skin, helping to minimize the appearance of pores. Additionally, chemical peels are effective in exfoliating the skin and clearing out pores, which can make them appear smaller. The treatment choice depends on the individual’s skin type and their specific concerns regarding their pores. Regular follow-up is important to assess the effectiveness of these treatments.
Preventing Enlarged Pores
Preventing enlarged pores involves maintaining a healthy skincare routine and protecting the skin from environmental damage. Regular cleansing, especially for oily skin types, helps to keep pores clear. Using non-comedogenic skin care products can prevent pore blockage. Sun protection is also crucial, as sun damage can reduce skin elasticity, making pores appear larger. Additionally, incorporating exfoliation into your skincare routine can help to keep pores clean and less visible. Maintaining a consistent and appropriate skincare routine is key in managing the appearance of pores.
