What causes large pores, and how to permanently get rid of them? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Thanks for sharing your pictures. Your pores appear enlarged and visible from underlying congestion. This can clog up and enlarge the surface opening.

Proper skincare can cause the pores to shrink. BHAs can penetrate pores and unclog them. Medical skincare like retinoids can also unclog pores, decrease oil secretion and stimulate collagen.

Various energy based devices like lasers and Radiofrequency can also enhance their appearance. They can improve visibly but may be difficult to completely eradicate. It is important to use skincare well while doing medical procedures.

I would advise a personal consult to properly assess your problem. Your skin type also matters in deciding the suitable skincare or treatment routine.

Hope this helps!
