About this concern

Enlarged pores and excess oil are among the most frustrating skin concerns — and the most misunderstood. Our physician-directed protocols go beyond surface control to address the underlying causes, achieving lasting refinement.

Our approach

Pore size is largely genetic, but with the right combination of sebaceous gland modulation, collagen stimulation, and targeted resurfacing, we can dramatically reduce their appearance and give skin a refined, porcelain finish.

True pore refinement isn't about concealment — it's about structural improvement at the cellular level. We build better skin.

Treatment options

  • Laser Toning

    Laser Toning (low-fluence Q-switched Nd:YAG) is the most targeted treatment for enlarged pores and oily skin — selectively reducing sebaceous gland activity and triggering perilesional collagen production that physically tightens pore walls.

  • Microneedling

    Microneedling stimulates new collagen production around pore walls — physically thickening and tightening the dermal scaffold that determines pore size. Over a series of treatments, pores become visibly smaller and skin feels denser.

  • Chemical Peel

    Chemical peels — especially LHA-based formulations like the Chemical Peel — penetrate the follicular opening to dissolve the sebum plugs and dead cells that stretch pores to their maximum diameter. Regular peeling keeps pores cleared and visibly minimized.

  • Facials

    Regular professional facials with thorough extractions and sebum-dissolving treatments are the most effective way to maintain clear, minimized pores between more intensive in-office treatments.

  • Medical-Grade Skincare

    The right home products keep pores from re-clogging and maintain the refined appearance achieved through in-office treatments.
