Large Pores
Large pores are a common aesthetic concern linked to excess sebum, reduced skin elasticity, and irregular keratinisation. They can make the skin appear uneven, shiny, or congested, and often contribute to texture issues or breakouts.
While pore size is genetically determined, several clinical and skincare approaches can minimise their appearance and improve overall tone.
At Haus of Ästhetik, we treat enlarged pores using evidence-based dermatological principles, balancing oil production, refining texture, and strengthening collagen support beneath the surface.
Overview
Large pores are a common aesthetic concern linked to excess sebum, reduced skin elasticity, and irregular keratinisation. They can make the skin appear uneven, shiny, or congested, and often contribute to texture issues or breakouts.
While pore size is genetically determined, several clinical and skincare approaches can minimise their appearance and improve overall tone.
At Haus of Ästhetik, we treat enlarged pores using evidence-based dermatological principles, balancing oil production, refining texture, and strengthening collagen support beneath the surface.
Large pores affect all skin types and tones but are most common in individuals with oily or combination skin. Men generally have more prominent pores due to higher sebaceous activity.
With age, pores can appear larger as collagen declines, even in drier skin types.
Visible, open follicular openings (commonly on the nose, cheeks, and forehead).
Shiny or uneven surface texture.
Coexisting blackheads, congestion, or acne.
Reduced luminosity due to uneven light reflection.
No NICE or BNF guideline covers “enlarged pores” as a discrete clinical concern. Treatment is driven by dermatological practice and skincare science rather than formal NHS guidance.
1. mesoestetic Microneedling and Professional Peels
Microneedling: stimulates collagen and elastin to strengthen follicular walls and refine texture.
mesopeel salicylic 20–30% or azelan: exfoliates, controls sebum, and prevents blockage of pores.
Results: visibly tighter, smoother skin within several sessions.
2. mesoestetic Acne / Blemiderm Range
Targets seboregulation and keratinocyte renewal.
Key actives: azelaic acid, salicylic acid, and niacinamide reduce oiliness and restore balance.
Improves both pore size and breakouts through long-term maintenance.
3. Teoxane RHA Serum and Advanced Filler
Provides hydration without clogging pores.
RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) matrix restores plumpness and elasticity, improving light reflection and reducing pore visibility.
Antioxidant complex protects against free-radical damage that exacerbates texture irregularity.
4. LED Light Therapy and Post-Treatment Skin Restoration
Blue and red light reduce bacterial activity and inflammation.
Stimulates fibroblast activity for smoother surface texture.
5. Homecare Maintenance Protocol
mesoestetic Purifying Mousse and Hydratonic Mist for gentle cleansing and pH balance.
Non-comedogenic moisturisers and mineral sunscreen to prevent further pore dilation.
A consultation determines skin type, sensitivity, and underlying causes. Treatments are suitable for most adults but avoided during pregnancy, active infection, or isotretinoin therapy.
Each treatment plan follows Haus of Ästhetik’s CQC-aligned governance and Regulation 12 standards to ensure patient safety, traceability, and informed consent.
Gradual tightening of pores and smoother skin texture over 4–8 weeks.
Reduction in oiliness and shine.
Fresher, refined appearance and improved tone.
Long-term results maintained through consistent skincare and periodic in-clinic procedures.
Avoid exfoliants or active products for 48 hours after procedures.
Use SPF 30+ daily to prevent UV-induced collagen loss.
Keep skin hydrated with light, non-comedogenic products.
Regular professional maintenance every 3–6 months for sustained refinement.
Book a skin consultation at Haus of Ästhetik for a personalised assessment. We’ll identify the primary cause of pore enlargement and develop a tailored plan that may include mesoestetic resurfacing treatments, microneedling, or advanced skincare.
All treatments are carried out under medical supervision in line with CQC Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment, ensuring effective results with uncompromised safety and transparency.
