While pore size cannot be permanently changed, it can be significantly minimized. Regular HydraFacial keeps them clear; laser and RF treatments tighten the surrounding skin so pores appear refined and smaller.
What causes it
Pore size is largely genetic, but excess sebum production, loss of skin elasticity, sun damage, and acne can all make pores appear larger. Pores don't truly "open and close" — but their appearance changes significantly based on the skin's elasticity and the amount of debris inside them.
Best approaches
HydraFacial removes congestion that makes pores appear larger. Laser Genesis tightens skin around pores, reducing their visibility. RF Microneedling rebuilds collagen and elastin for longer-lasting pore refinement. Monthly maintenance is key — pores reappear as skin congests again.
Pore size has a genetic ceiling. However, keeping them clean (HydraFacial) and improving surrounding skin elasticity (laser, RF) dramatically reduces their visible size. Results require maintenance.
