Enlarged Pores

IN CARLSBAD, CA

What Are Enlarged Pores?

Enlarged pores are visible openings on the skin’s surface, often found on the nose, cheeks, and forehead. They can give the skin a rough texture and may be more prone to clogging and acne. Enlarged pores can affect the overall appearance and smoothness of the skin. Treatments focus on reducing pore size and improving skin texture.

What Are the Causes of Enlarged Pores?

Genetics

Your genetic makeup can determine your pore size, making some people naturally more prone to larger pores.

Oily Skin

Excess oil production can cause pores to expand to accommodate the increased oil flow.

Aging

Our skin loses elasticity and collagen as we age, causing pores to appear more prominent.

Sun Damage

UV exposure can weaken the collagen around pores, making them look bigger.

Improper Skincare

Inadequate cleansing can lead to dirt and oil buildup, stretching the pores and making them more noticeable.
