The skin on the face is a barrier that protects us from external aggressions, but for this defensive organ to fully play its role, it must be strong and healthy, regardless of age.

We often speak of ” beautiful skin ” in appearance, but beautiful skin is above all healthy skin, where each component has a precise function. The skin’s pores play an essential role in its quality. Pores are small openings of the sebaceous glands where hairs grow. They allow the skin to breathe. They excrete sebum and perspiration

If the pores of the skin are open or dilated, they will let impurities settle in and cause pimples or acne all over the face.

The skin will become oily and lose its uniformity. The face will look duller, which will result in an ” orange peel ” appearance.

The dilated pores of the skin will become very visible and will let sebum through. This phenomenon happens to everyone, regardless of age or gender. But in aesthetic medicine, there are several solutions. This phenomenon occurs in both men and women and regardless of age. But in aesthetic medicine, there are several solutions or treatments that can provide results.

WHY DO SKIN PORES DILATE?

Pores are micro-depressions created by the openings of the pilosebaceous ducts, from which sebum flows.

When there is an excess production of sebum (hormonal changes, puberty…), the pores dilate and become visible.

This is often seen in the T-zone: the nose, the area between the eyebrows, the chin and in the central areas of the face.

The main causes of dilated pores are :

  • Oily skin or on the contrary very dry skin
  • During a hormonal peak, often in puberty, menopause or during pregnancy,
  • Very dehydrated skin due to a lack of hyaluronic acid,
  • A lifestyle disturbed by an excessively fatty diet,
  • Too much tobacco or alcohol consumption,
  • Too much exposure to the sun

The treatment must be done rapidly as soon as the first signs appear. As always, the sooner the diagnosis is made, the more effectively the proposed treatment will act and prevent the skin’s appearance from deteriorating.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED TO TIGHTEN ENLARGED PORES?

To treat enlarged pores and regain a more radiant face, it is necessary to thoroughly moisturize and clean the skin. There are several treatments at varying levels of intensity that can be employed. They will be recommended by our experts according to your particular case.

  • The HydraFacial Elite ® technology allows for a dermabrasion of the skin. It will intervene in depth to drain impurities and sebum, exfoliate the skin, and nourish the dermis with active ingredients. This technique results in a tightened skin texture that can be seen from the very first session.
  • The microneedling treatment, performed with a serum containing vitamin A, gingko biloba, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin B, will provide all the nutrients necessary for the reconstruction of the skin and will allow the dilated pores to function normally again and therefore to tighten.
  • Glycolic acid-based peeling sessions of varying strength will help eliminate impurities, remove blackheads, and smooth out irregularities. In just a few sessions, your dilated pores will be tightened, and your complexion will be brighter.

  • Restylane Skinboosters based on non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid can significantly improve the skin’s texture. This treatment can complement a series of peels or be used alone. Its purpose is to make the pores of the skin less visible.
  • Medical mesotherapy is based on the principle of micro-injections that provide the skin with a cocktail of minerals, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. This treatment is painless and does not leave a mark. To do this, Skincare Agency has equipped itself with a state-of-the-art, high-performance injector gun.
  • A resurfacing of the skin that combines the radio frequency Accent Prime and laser Harmony. The thermal effect of the laser waves will stimulate the fibroblasts (cells that synthesize the dermis) and improve the quality of the skin by working on the dilated pores.
  • The photostimulation by the blue light of the medical LED will calm the inflammation of the inflamed pores and will bring a soothing effect on the skin. These LED sessions are also recommended after laser, radiofrequency injection, peeling or microneedling sessions.
