“My pores are very large.”
Visible pore openings — usually most pronounced across the T-zone.
↗Concern · Face & Skin · 06
Enlarged pores refined.
Pores become visibly larger from sebum overload, ageing or acne history — the condition is cosmetic but often carries textural roughness with it. The pathway is course-based and paired with barrier-safe home care.

What it is
The opening, widened.
Enlarged pores are a skin condition in which the openings of the sebaceous glands become visibly enlarged. They are often associated with excessive sebum production, skin ageing, genetic predisposition or a history of acne.
The condition is primarily cosmetic but may also be accompanied by uneven skin texture — makeup application becomes uneven, light no longer reflects smoothly and blackheads recur.
“You cannot 'close' a pore. You can regulate the sebum, refine the surface, and change how light bounces off it.”
What patients notice.
Symptoms named in the patient's own words alongside the clinical read.
02
Uneven or pitted-looking skin
Textural irregularity from repeated congestion — reads as roughness under raking light.
↗03
More pronounced pores in the T-zone
Nose, forehead and inner cheeks — the highest density of sebaceous glands.
↗04
Increased oily shine
Overactive sebum production driving the visible pore appearance.
↗05
Rough skin texture
Surface irregularity beyond the pore openings themselves.
↗06
Frequent blackheads or comedones
Comedones repeatedly form in the same enlarged pores — a functional sign of chronic congestion.
↗Why the pores widen.
Enlarged pores arise from several drivers — the pathway depends on which is dominant.
#TypeWhat's happeningPathway
01Sebaceous overactivity.Excess sebum stretches the pore openings — the most common driver.Sebum regulation
02Age-related laxity.Loss of collagen around the pore reduces support and enlarges the opening.Collagen stimulation
03Genetic predisposition.Baseline pore size determined by family — the pathway is refinement, not reversal.Course-based
04Acne- related.History of comedones has stretched the pore permanently.Resurfacing
05Sun damage.UV-induced elastosis reduces support around the pore.Sun protection + resurfacing
Diagnostics-first
We map the pores before we treat.
Every pore pathway begins with quantitative imaging — VISIA measures density, distribution and surface texture together.

Treatment pathways
How we treat it.
In-clinic collagen stimulation combined with topical retinoids and non-comedogenic home care. Course-based, and results build over time.
Lead pathway · Resurfacing
Fractional laser & microneedling.
Fractional resurfacing and microneedling stimulate collagen in the surrounding tissue, tightening the skin around each pore opening.
Course3–5 sessions
Interval4–6 weeks
Downtime3–5 days
Morpheus InMode.
RF microneedling for deeper pore refinement and long-standing texture.
Supportive · CleansingDermaclear
Deep cleansing to reduce chronic congestion between resurfacing sessions.
Supportive · TopicalRetinoids & peels.
Salicylic and glycolic peels alongside topical retinoids to regulate sebum.
Supportive · Skin qualityBiorevitalization
Hyaluronic acid to improve overall skin quality and support the resurfacing course.
