Pores allow oil and sweat to reach the surface of your skin, which helps keep it cool and moisturized. When oil production, dead skin cells, or environmental factors clog the pores and reduce elasticity, these openings can look larger than usual. Arizona's heat and dryness may also contribute to changes in pore appearance. Adjusting your skincare habits and considering our treatments at Lazaderm in Chandler, AZ can help refine the skin’s surface. With the right approach, the texture of your skin can look smoother and more even.
Why Are My Pores So Big?
Genetics are part of what determines how large your pores look, and skin that naturally produces more oil can make them appear wider. A buildup of dead skin cells around pore openings can also highlight their size. Sun exposure, which is a major factor in Arizona, can make pores look even larger by breaking down collagen and weakening the support structure around them, causing them to stretch. Hormonal changes and aging also affect how pores look, making them seem larger in certain areas of the face.
Can Large Pores Be Made Smaller?
The actual size of your pores is determined by genetics, so you cannot physically shrink them. What you can do is improve the health and condition of your skin so that they look less noticeable. Treatments that increase collagen production, such as microneedling or laser therapy, strengthen the skin and provide more support around the pore openings. Sun protection is important because protecting your skin from UV damage prevents further breakdown of collagen that can exaggerate pore size.
How to Minimize Pores
To minimize the look of pores, start with daily habits that keep skin clear and balanced. Cleanse regularly to remove excess oil and prevent buildup that can make pores look larger. Exfoliate with safe methods to encourage cell turnover and smooth rough edges around pore openings. Always apply sunscreen to defend against UV damage. You can also combine these at-home methods with professional treatments in Chandler, AZ, such as chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or microneedling, which all help refine the skin and boost collagen support.
Our Treatments for Large Pores
BBL® HERO™
We may recommend BBL HERO as part of your plan for pore reduction in Chandler, AZ, because it addresses multiple concerns linked to skin texture and tone. BBL HERO uses broadband light energy to improve the appearance of enlarged pores by targeting uneven skin tone and stimulating collagen. The heat from the light penetrates the skin and encourages renewal, which strengthens the structure around pore openings. When the surrounding skin is firmer, pores look smaller and the surface smoother. This treatment also helps with discoloration and redness that can highlight pores.
Hydrafacial
The Hydrafacial device uses a vortex-like suction to remove debris from your pores while infusing them with nourishing and clarifying serums. Clearing out excess oil and dead skin reduces the visibility of pores and restores balance to the skin’s surface. The treatment is gentle enough for regular maintenance yet powerful enough to make skin look refreshed. Many people notice that pores look less noticeable immediately after a Hydrafacial, and consistent treatments can help maintain smoother skin.
Secret™ RF Microneedling
Secret RF microneedling uses tiny needles to perforate the skin, while radiofrequency energy immediately contracts the tissue for a tightening effect. Both combined trigger the body’s healing response, which stimulates new collagen and elastin. As collagen builds, the skin gains more support, which tightens the area around the pores and makes them look smaller.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing gently removes the outer layer of skin to promote the growth of new tissue. Laser resurfacing can treat both mild and pronounced concerns because of the versatility of the technology. We can use this treatment to tighten pores because, as the treatment boosts collagen, the skin around the pores tightens. This type of pore reduction can be used when years of sun exposure have accelerated changes in the skin that make pores appear larger.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels apply carefully formulated solutions to the skin to dissolve the buildup of dead cells and stimulate natural renewal. As the surface sheds, pores stay clearer and the openings look more refined. Peels come in varying strengths, so we can address mild pore concerns as well as more pronounced texture issues. Regular treatments help the skin appear smoother and brighter, while pairing peels with the right at-home care enhances and maintains these improvements.
MOXI Laser Treatments
MOXI is a gentle fractional laser treatment designed to improve overall skin tone and texture. It works by creating micro-coagulation zones in the skin that stimulate collagen production and renewal. As the skin repairs itself, pores appear tighter and the surface becomes more even. MOXI is well-suited for patients who want results with minimal downtime, and can be performed at different intensities based on your skin. Regular treatments can help keep pores refined while also preventing sun damage and pigmentation.
What Our Treatments Are Like
Comfort and preparation: Most treatments for enlarged pores require little to no preparation, and we explain what to expect beforehand so you feel at ease. Depending on the option chosen, we may apply a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort.
Treatment process: Each method for reducing pores works differently, but all aim to clear congestion and stimulate collagen for smoother skin. Our treatments usually take less than an hour.
Recovery and results: Downtime varies, with some treatments allowing you to return to daily activities right away and others requiring a few days of healing. As your skin renews, your pores will start to look smaller, and you can get even better results through consistent care.
