Topic Image

Open pores are basically openings of hair follicle and sebaceous (oil) glands on the skin. Open pores become more large & prominent because of the following causes
* oily skin with large amounts of sebum production
* reduced elasticity and collagen around pores due to aging
* thick hair follicles
* hereditary
* picking and squeezing blackheads & whiteheads 
* sun-damage

Some of the treatments done are 

  • microneedling radiofrequency
  • laser toning
  • dermaroller
  • chemical peels
  • mesotherapy
  • microdermabrasion

This lovely lady had a lot of redness and open pores with sagging of the face making it look much aged. We combined laser toning with vivace microneedling radiofrequency with prescription medications. No surgery. The results after one month speak for themselves
