Laser Treatment for Large Pores or Open Pores
Large Pores/Open Pores are a common concern for many of us. Large pores make the skin texture appear rough and uneven. Additionally, they can pose serious problems for acne-prone skin since larger pores can get clogged and inflamed more easily. There are several causes of large pores which include genes, age, oily skin, sagging skin and lack of proper skincare.
At The Skin Clinic, we strive to give you beautiful skin that you feel confident with our pore minimizer/pore reduction treatments. Our treatments are designed to reduce the size of the pores and improve your skin texture. For pore size reduction, we offer two different treatment plans- UltraPulse CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing and Pico care treatment.
Treatment for Pore Tightening/Pore Reduction
UltraPulse CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing is a new technology in the aesthetics industry. Laser energy microbeams are used to break down the tissue of the epidermis, after which new, healthy skin grows over the treatment area. Similar to using deep chemical peels or ablative lasers, this new technology can help improve your skin without the discomfort or downtime caused by regular methods. As your skin heals naturally, the new layer will appear glowing and radiant, leaving you feeling and looking younger.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment for Large Pores
In this pore minimizer procedure, we draw blood for your body (similar to a blood test) and then place it in a machine that works to segregate the blood cells, serum and platelets. These elements, when reintroduced to the part of your body that is need of treatment and revitalization, stimulates the generation of new tissue in the skin. They help the body repair itself and your skin grows back healthier, more radiant and has a smoother texture.
Pore Size Reduction With PICOCARE450
The Skin Clinic uses the cutting-edge PICOCARE450 laser for pore size reduction treatments in Mangalore. PICOCARE450 has a photomechanical effect and a negligible photothermal effect on the skin — which means that it selectively targets the pigment and collagen in the epidermis and dermis leaving the stratum corneum (uppermost layer of the skin) intact.
FAQ's About Pore Size Reduction
Can Lasers Reduce Pore Size?
Despite what some people might have told you, pores don’t actually shrink or grow—those clogged with dirt or oil may appear bigger, and with ageing and sun damage, pores might appear larger as there’s less support from the surrounding skin. In addition to plenty of topical skin care products, at-home laser technology—which has made a successful transition from the dermatologist’s office—can help minimize these issues and make pores less noticeable.
Are Pore-Shrinking Lasers Effective?
No at-home device or in-office procedure can physically change your pore size, but a number of treatments have been proven effective at lessening their appearance. A 2011 study in the journal Laser Therapy found that Q-switched and micro-pulsed lasers visibly reduce the appearance of pores, especially when used with photo-activated topical solutions.
