What causes enlarged pores and how are they treated?
Pores look larger when they are stretched by oil and debris, when the skin around them loses collagen and firmness with age, or after sun damage and acne. Genetics also play a part, so pores are often most visible on the nose, cheeks and forehead.
Pores cannot be closed, but they can be made to look smaller. Treatments work by stimulating collagen around the pore, resurfacing the skin and controlling oil. Options listed at Egg Clinic include Potenza RF microneedling, Joule MLP micro-laser peel, Er:YAG fractional laser, DoubleTite and Mirajet needle-free boosters. The doctor chooses based on your skin type and other concerns. See also our pore tightening page.
Who is pore treatment for?
- Visible pores on the nose, cheeks or forehead
- Oily skin with rough or uneven texture
- Pores that look larger with age and loss of firmness
- Mild acne scars alongside enlarged pores
- People wanting smoother skin under makeup
Treatment should usually wait if you have active, inflamed acne, a skin infection, a recent sunburn or tan, or are pregnant. If you use isotretinoin or strong retinoids, tell the doctor, as some procedures need a gap. Very active acne is often treated first before focusing on pores.

What results can you expect?
Improvement is gradual. After each session the skin may look slightly red or feel warm for a few hours to a few days depending on the treatment, and texture usually becomes smoother over the following weeks as collagen builds. A course of three to five sessions spaced several weeks apart is common. Good daily care with sunscreen and oil control helps maintain the result. Results vary with skin type, age and the cause of the enlarged pores.
