Primary factor
Excess Oil Production
Overactive sebaceous glands can stretch pores as oil and debris accumulate within them.
Enlarged Pores & Open Pores
Refine Texture and Minimise the Appearance of Large Pores
What is Enlarged Pores & Open Pores Treatment?
Enlarged pores treatment, also referred to as large pores or open pores treatment, covers a range of in-clinic procedures designed to visibly minimise pore appearance and improve overall skin texture. Pores appear larger when they become stretched by excess oil, trapped debris, or when the surrounding skin loses elasticity with age, most commonly affecting the nose, cheeks and forehead. While pore size itself is largely determined by genetics and can't be permanently changed, big pores can be made significantly less visible through treatments that manage oil production, improve skin texture and support surrounding skin firmness.
What Causes Enlarged Pores or Open Pore?
Reduced Skin Elasticity
As collagen production declines with age, the skin around pores loses some of its ability to stay taut, making pores appear larger.
Sun Damage
Cumulative UV exposure can thicken the skin unevenly and worsen the visible appearance of pores.
Genetics
Naturally oilier skin and larger pore size are strongly influenced by family history and skin type.
Comedogenic Products
Heavy, pore-clogging skincare or makeup products can stretch and enlarge the visible appearance of pores over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Queries & Answers
There is no single treatment that suits everyone. Depending on the cause, chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments or a Hydrafacial may be recommended to visibly minimise open pores.
Pore size itself is largely fixed by genetics and can't be permanently reduced, but treatments can significantly improve how visible pores appear by refining texture and managing oil production.
The nose has a higher concentration of oil glands than other facial areas, which is why pores often appear larger and more visible there compared to the rest of the face.
A well-suited skincare routine can improve the appearance of open pores to some degree, but for more noticeable enlargement, combining skincare with in-clinic treatment tends to give better results.
Yes, pores often appear more enlarged with age as the skin around them loses elasticity and firmness, making them look more stretched even without a change in actual pore size.
The cost depends on the treatment selected and the number of sessions required. A consultation allows our specialists to assess your skin and recommend an accurate, personalised plan.
Consider a consultation if enlarged pores are affecting your confidence, if at-home skincare hasn't improved their appearance, or if you'd like a professional assessment of the most suitable treatment for your skin.
