THE SCIENCE OF YOUR SKIN: UNDERSTANDING PORES

What are pores? 

Pores, which every individual has, are the small openings in the skin which release oils and sweat. Our pores, which are connected to our hair follicles, can be affected by a range of factors. Each fact can affect how large our pores appear to be. Acne, oily skin (from increased sebum production), sun damage, and noncomedogenic makeup can make pores appear larger. 

Pore dimensions cannot be changed, but their appearance can be visibly reduced through an appropriate skincare routine and innovative, non-invasive treatments.

How can large pores be treated? 

Each and every person is unique, which means that there is no one size fits all treatment to minimizing a person’s pores. However, depending on their skin type there is a solution for them. 

Oily skin, which results from excess sebum being produced from the sebaceous glands, can lead to pores appearing larger and in some cases blocked, which in turn results in whiteheads and blackheads.  Skin care products formulated for oily skin, such as SkinCeuticals “Simply Clean: Our Best Cleanser for Oily Skin” is a pore-refining gel which can be used at home to cleanse, exfoliate and soothe the skin. 

For both acne and oily skin, a clay mask can help remove oil, dirt and dead skin within your pores and subsequently make them appear smaller. SkinCeuticals “Clarifying Clay Masque” does exactly that without drying out the skin. Skin is left exfoliated, soothed and radiant.  

The Carbon Facial 

At Figura Skin Clinic, we understand that some people want to ensure their skin is the very best it can be. The Carbon Laser treatment, one of the very latest, innovative, non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments for all skin types,  drastically clears and tightens open pores, clears blackheads and whiteheads, rids you of spots and blemishes and reduces fine lines and lightens pigmentation along the way.

Suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, the Carbon Laser Treatment, also known as ‘Carbon Peel’, ‘Black Doll Facial’ and ‘Hollywood Peel’, is incredibly effective in improving the overall appearance of your skin. During this unique, 5 Star, medical grade treatment the skin is exfoliated leaving you radiant. With the added benefits of Collagen stimulation and elastin boost, it means a brighter, tighter, lifted skin is achieved.
