Enlarged pores

Enlarged pores are a common skin concern where the pores appear larger than normal, often leading to an uneven skin texture. This condition can make the skin look rough and less refined, and is often associated with oily or combination skin types.

Causes​ of enlarged pores
  • Excess oil production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, stretching pores and making them appear larger.
  • Sun damage: UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, reducing skin support and causing pores to look more visible.
  • Improper skincare routine: Inadequate cleansing or using pore-clogging products can lead to buildup, blockages, and enlarged pores.
  • Ageing: As skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, pores naturally appear bigger.
  • Genetics: Pore size is also influenced by heredity, making some people more prone to enlarged pores.
Enlarged pores and skin

Understanding both the visible signs and what you may feel helps guide the right skincare routine and professional treatments to refine pores and improve overall skin texture.

  • Open pores that are easily noticeable
  • Uneven skin texture and roughness
  • Oily or shiny skin throughout the day
  • Congested pores, including blackheads or buildup
  • Makeup that doesn’t sit smoothly on the skin
Tips​ to improve enlarged pores
  • Cleanse thoroughly: Gently cleanse twice daily to remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities.
  • Exfoliate regularly: Chemical exfoliants like AHAs help prevent clogged pores and improve skin texture.
  • Hydrate and moisturise: Use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers to balance hydration without blocking pores.
  • Protect from the sun: Daily SPF preserves collagen and elastin, preventing pores from becoming more visible.
  • Professional treatments: Treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or HydraFacial refine pores and enhance overall skin texture.

Best Treatments for Enlarged Pores in Melbourne

At Medix Skincare & Laser Clinic we offer customised solutions to refine pores, improve skin texture, and deliver long-lasting results.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser therapy targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This treatment effectively reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and enhances skin texture.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels minimise pore size by exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging pores, promoting cell turnover and refining the skin’s surface to reveal smoother, clearer skin.

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and hydrates the skin. It helps to unclog and tighten pores, giving the skin a smoother texture and refined appearance.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

Radiofrequency microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This tightening effect smooths the skin, reduces pore size, and enhances overall texture.

Yes, Laser Skin Rejuvenation targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This effectively reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and enhances skin texture.

The frequency of treatments depends on your skin type and response to the treatment. Typically, treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks. 

Combining treatments like HydraFacial, microneedling, and chemical peels can significantly enhance results. We will design a personalised plan that integrates the most effective treatments for your skin.

Our treatments for enlarged pores, including HydraFacial, chemical peels, and RF microneedling, are customised to your skin for safe, effective results that refine pores and improve texture.

A consistent routine of gentle cleansing and regular exfoliation prevents buildup that can stretch pores, while using non-comedogenic skincare and makeup reduces blockages. Avoiding smoking and excess alcohol helps maintain collagen strength, and managing stress with good sleep keeps oil production balanced.

Results vary depending on your skin type, the treatment chosen, and your homecare routine. Many clients notice improved texture and refined pores within 1–2 sessions of professional treatments like HydraFacial, RF microneedling, or chemical peels. Continued treatments and proper skincare at home help maintain and enhance these results over time.

Side effects are generally minimal but can include temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your skin.
