What Causes Large Pores?
Pores can appear larger for several reasons:
- Genetics
- Excess oil production
- Loss of collagen and elasticity
- Sun damage
- Clogged pores
- Aging
When collagen around the pore weakens, the opening stretches and becomes more visible. Oily skin and congestion can further exaggerate pore size, making texture more noticeable.
As we age, declining collagen causes the skin surrounding each pore to lose support. This is why many people notice their pores becoming more visible over time, even if their skin becomes less oily with age.
How We Improve the Appearance of Large Pores
Because pore size is influenced by both oil production and collagen structure, treatment typically focuses on:
- Deep cleansing and extraction
- Oil regulation
- Collagen stimulation
- Skin resurfacing
- Long-term maintenance
Rather than relying on a single treatment, we often combine procedures that improve both skin texture and collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
Treatment Options at Posh Medical
We tailor treatment based on whether your pores are primarily caused by oil congestion, collagen loss, or texture irregularities.
Deep Cleansing & Immediate Refinement
HydraFacial
Deeply cleanses, extracts, and hydrates in one session. Removes debris from pores and delivers an instantly smoother, more refined appearance with no downtime.
DiamondGlow
Exfoliates, extracts, and infuses SkinMedica® Pro-Infusion Serums simultaneously. Helps reduce congestion while improving overall skin texture and clarity.
Collagen Stimulation & Long-Term Tightening
SkinPen Microneedling
Stimulates natural collagen production to tighten skin around pores and improve texture over time.
PRP Microneedling
Enhances microneedling results by supporting accelerated regeneration and improved skin quality.
Potenza RF Microneedling
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for more advanced collagen remodeling and tightening.
Opus Plasma
Advanced resurfacing treatment for more significant texture concerns and collagen loss.
Kimera® Exosomes
Kimera® Exosomes may be incorporated into select collagen-stimulating treatments such as SkinPen® Microneedling or OPUS™ Plasma. By supporting the skin’s natural healing response after treatment, exosomes complement collagen remodeling and overall skin rejuvenation, helping optimize improvements in texture and pore appearance.
Your provider will determine whether adding exosomes is appropriate based on your skin concerns and treatment goals.
Medical-Grade Skincare Support
Professional skincare plays an important role in maintaining results. We may recommend:
- Skinbetter®
- SkinMedica®
- Face Reality
Ingredients like retinoids, salicylic acid, and antioxidants help regulate oil production, prevent congestion, and support collagen health between treatments.
What to Expect
Some treatments like HydraFacial and DiamondGlow provide immediate refinement.
Collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling and resurfacing show progressive improvement over 4–12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
When Kimera® Exosomes are incorporated into eligible treatments, they support your skin’s natural recovery process while collagen continues to remodel over time.
Most patients achieve optimal results with a customized series of treatments.
