Wide Pores Treatments in Singapore – Effective Medical and Laser Solutions for Large Pores

As we age we lose precious collagen in the skin. As a result of that, skin laxity increases and with decreased tension around the pores, the pores appear larger. Therefore, enlarged pores is one of the quintessential signs of aged skin.

Overactive oil glands, due to various reasons which can be hormonal in nature, lead to excessive sebum production( or oil production). This in turn leads to enlarged glands which also gives the appearance of large pores or hair follicle size. Enlarged pores are often also associated with clogged pores that lead to comedones and acne.

Infections, such as acne, lead to damage of the collagen structure and scarring. As a result of the loss of collagen and skin elasticity, the pores appear large particularly around the acne scars in the face.

Excessive sun exposure leads to sun damage to the skin. That leads to loss of collagen and skin elasticity which leads to the appearance of wide pores.

Non-comedonal or water-based skin care products will be more appropriate for large pores. That is because oil-based products lead to excessive oil which leads to large pores. Prolonged use of astringents or products containing salicylic acid, or vitamin c, beta hydroxy acids, to dry the skin may result in a rebound production of sebum and lead to large pores again.

Various topical and oral medication such as topical or oral retinoids in dermatology and aesthetic practices help to reduce sebum activity. However, these medications come with side effects such as dryness and irritation. We typically advise patients to moisturize their skin with moisturizers that are water-based often needs to be considered along with these medications.

Mild chemical peels such as salicylic acid peels help to reduce the excess sebum on the face, clear clogged pores and have a rejuvenating effect on the skin. The effects are however temporary as the sebaceous (oil) glands are not inactivated.
