Laser hair removal will cause any subsequent hair growth to be finer and lighter in color, giving way to smoother skin with less visible blemishes.
Laser treatments not only remove unwanted hair, but they can also reduce sun damage and discoloration to give your complexion an aged-down appearance. In addition, laser treatment may unclog large pores while encouraging collagen production for more even textures and skin tones.
Q-switched and micro-pulsed lasers
Q-switched lasers are widely used for hair removal, as well as pore reduction. This type of laser emits short bursts of intense light energy to target pigment and hair follicles without harming nearby cells – producing smoother, less textured skin with increased youthfulness.
Due to the energy released by this laser, its energy can stimulate collagen production while simultaneously tightening skin to reduce pores. Furthermore, this procedure is suitable for all skin types – even those with darker hues – making this treatment often known as porcelain doll laser facial or China Doll Facial safe and suitable. A layer of fine carbon particles are applied before Q-switched laser is used on them; heated by this heat beam they expand and implode, clearing away sebum from pores while exfoliating and exfoliating skin cells along the way.
Studies published in 2011 in Laser Therapy magazine investigated how Q-switched and micro-pulsed lasers could be used to treat enlarged pores, with results showing their use was effective at visibly decreasing their appearance, particularly when combined with photo-activated topical solutions. Researchers discovered that lower energy lasers proved superior as they caused less skin damage during use.
Although there is no universally effective solution for minimizing pore appearance, effective skin care can play an essential role. Scrubs, chemical exfoliants and salicylic acid facial cleansers all can help minimize oil production while diminishing large pores’ appearance. At-home laser devices may also prove helpful – just ensure it has a small spot size for optimal results.
Fraxel dual laser
Fraxel laser treatments are non-ablative laser therapies that utilize microscopic columns of laser energy to penetrate deep into your skin, accelerate its own healing process, and minimize pore size. Fraxel is an ideal treatment option for acne scars, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation issues and enlarged pores; its wavelengths work perfectly for all skin types and tones.

This treatment is suitable for all skin colors and types, without causing pain or burning sensations during treatment; however, a topical anesthetic will be applied beforehand in order to minimize discomfort during the session.
Follow your doctor’s prescribed treatment schedule in order to achieve your desired results. This may take three or five treatments spaced out every few weeks; you should see improvement within months and your results will remain permanent.
Retinoids
A pore is an opening at the base of a hair follicle that allows body hair and oil to pass through, but when they become blocked with dead skin cells, excess oil production, or debris they become larger and more noticeable. Retinoids – a type of vitamin A – may help reduce pore size by encouraging cell turnover and preventing buildup; additionally they may decrease excess production while helping prevent blackhead formation.
While your pore size may be genetically determined, there are ways you can make them appear smaller and less visible. Gentle cleansing with gentle products and wearing sunscreen are great starting points. A clay and charcoal mask is another effective solution – using one once weekly is best.
If you want a more dramatic solution, consulting a dermatologist could offer more effective pore-minimizing treatments. “These treatments create microinjuries to the skin which stimulate new collagen and elastin production resulting in smaller pore sizes over time,” according to Dr. Akhavan.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one such solution. This technique involves applying a prescription medication directly onto the skin and then lighting it under an ultraviolet light source; the medication saturates into oil glands to shrink them while also dissolving precancerous or cancerous lesions, improving tone and texture, as well as helping precancerous or cancerous lesions be destroyed and tone and texture enhanced. A doctor may suggest photodynamic therapy if you suffer from large pores, uneven pigmentation or acne scarring history.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels can dramatically transform and smooth out the texture of your skin, including pores. A peel works by using a chemical solution to gently exfoliate away outermost layers of damaged skin to improve color and texture while stimulating new cell growth for scarring healing, fine lines and wrinkles reduction, scar revision or skin rejuvenation. Peels are typically performed on facial skin but other parts can also be treated; which type you select will depend on both skin type and intensity of treatment.
A light (“lunchtime”) peel removes only the outermost layers of skin and may be suitable for those experiencing fine wrinkling, uneven skin coloring or sun-damaged dry skin. A medium peel uses stronger chemicals and might be suitable for those experiencing wrinkles, freckles or melasma. A deep peel typically utilizes strong chemicals like phenol and is done under anesthesia or local anesthetic injections for maximum effectiveness.
After your procedure, you may experience some stinging and mild discomfort as your skin heals. Ice packs and OTC pain relief medications like Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) could help minimize discomfort. A medium peel should take approximately seven days for recovery before unveiling new skin beneath its crust or brown spots; deep peels could take months and could leave lasting redness behind.
Microneedling offers another approach for pore minimization that may prove helpful. This procedure uses a needle-like tool to puncture tiny punctures into your skin, which stimulates its natural healing response and collagen production for healthier, younger-looking skin with reduced pores.
Microdermabrasion
There are numerous products on the market claiming to reduce pore size, but many contain acids which may be too harsh on your skin. Instead, it would be best to switch up your skincare regimen with natural cleanser and moisturizer twice daily, which will keep pores clear while helping reduce fine lines. You could also try using masks with clay or charcoal for drawing out excess oil; but always consult a dermatologist first if you decide to try any product that claims to shrink pores.
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin treatment using a tool with crushed crystals to exfoliate dead cells from your face and neck. It’s quick, painless, and performed by trained professionals – often as preparation for laser treatments or chemical peels, it can improve scars, blackheads, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
Abrasion may sound painful; however, it usually isn’t too uncomfortable. At first it may feel slightly irritating as your technician works on your skin but this should subside within minutes; if necessary you can always ask them to adjust the suction pressure accordingly.
Microdermabrasion can be administered in either a spa or salon; however, for optimal results it’s advisable to visit a dermatologist prior to starting the process as it requires expert knowledge of skin. Seven days before your scheduled appointment you should refrain from using exfoliative products like glycolic and salicylic acids and physical scrubs that exfoliate, as well as sunscreen during this timeframe.
