Understanding enlarged pores
Pores are a normal part of your skin. Some are simply easier to see than others, especially in oilier areas or when makeup settles around them.
They can look a little like acne scars in certain lighting, but they’re different concerns. If you’ve noticed lasting dips after old breakouts, our acne scarring page may be more useful. If it’s a mix of pores, bumps and roughness, take a look at uneven skin texture. We’ll help you work out what’s going on.
What causes enlarged pores?
Your natural skin type and oil production play a big part. A build-up of oil and dead skin cells can also make pores look more obvious.
Pores can also become more noticeable as skin loses firmness with age or sun damage. We’ll look at whether congestion, oiliness or skin quality is the main factor before suggesting a treatment.
Recommended treatments for enlarged pores
Pen Microneedling
Encourages collagen renewal to improve the surrounding texture and gradually make visible pores less noticeable.
RF Microneedling
May suit visible pores alongside reduced firmness or more established texture changes, combining needling with radiofrequency energy.
BioRePeel
Refreshes the surface and helps improve congestion when build-up is making pores and uneven texture more noticeable.

Common questions
Can you permanently close enlarged pores?
No, and your skin needs its pores. Treatment is about making them less noticeable by improving congestion or the skin around them. We’ll aim for a smoother-looking surface, not an unrealistic pore-free finish.
Is microneedling or a chemical peel better for pores?
A chemical peel may suit congestion and surface build-up, while pen microneedling may help more with the surrounding texture and support. We’ll explain which fits your skin rather than leave you choosing between treatment names.
Why do my pores look bigger as I get older?
As skin loses some firmness, pores can look more obvious. Oiliness and sun exposure can contribute too. If you’ve also noticed looseness, our skin laxity page explains that concern.
What can I do at home for enlarged pores?
Gentle cleansing, non-comedogenic products and daily sun protection are a good start. Suitable exfoliation may help with congestion, while harsh scrubs can irritate the skin.
