Concerned about Open Pores?
Enlarged pores can detract from your skin’s smooth appearance. Discover effective treatments that can help reduce their size and improve your overall skin texture.
What causes open pores?
As we age, the loss of skin elasticity and plumpness can make pores appear larger. Sun damage exacerbates this issue by further enlarging the pores. Some individuals naturally have larger or more open pores, often due to excessive sebum production from overactive sebaceous glands. Hormonal imbalances are a primary cause of this overproduction, leading to oilier skin.
Fortunately, non-surgical cosmetic treatments can reduce the appearance of large open pores within a few weeks.

Dr Sabika and the Skin Medical team can offer treatment options that will best suited to each individual.
Professional chemical peels, while not permanently shrinking enlarged pores, help keep them clean and free of debris, resulting in clearer, smoother, and tighter skin.
Radiofrequency skin-tightening treatments are also effective. They use heat energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the treatment area, giving the skin a more youthful appearance with refined pore size.
