We have three main treatments at Rejuvenating Solution for treating enlarged pores. The tried and tested traditional microneedling (also known as skin-needling), the technologically advanced Endymed, and the combination of Hydrafacial and Endymed; HydraTite.
As with most things, having more choices for enlarged pores equals more chance of success in combatting this common skin complaint.
What Are Enlarged Pores?
Enlarged pores are tiny openings on the surface of your skin that can appear bigger due to various factors. They’re often more noticeable on the face, particularly on the nose, forehead, and cheeks.
Although pores are essential for skin health, acting as channels for oil and sweat, their enlarged appearance can be a cosmetic concern for many.
While you can thank your family for your eye colour and your sense of humour, they might also be the reason behind your enlarged pores. Pore size is often hereditary, passed down from generation to generation. If your family members have been dealing with larger pores, the likelihood of you experiencing the same issue increases.
Ageing is a natural process that brings wisdom, experience, and, unfortunately, larger pores. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity due to decreased collagen production. This results in a slackening of the skin around the pores, making them appear larger than they are. As the skin thickens with age, tiny cells collect around the edge of the pores and make them look bigger.
An overproduction of sebum or oil by the skin’s sebaceous glands can also lead to enlarged pores. Excessive sebum production can cause the pores to stretch and expand to accommodate the oil flow. This is especially problematic for those with oily or combination skin types, as the enlarged pores can become clogged with oil, leading to acne and blackheads, further exacerbating the issue.
Your surroundings play a substantial role in the health of your skin. Living in areas with high levels of pollutants or humidity can cause your pores to become clogged with grime and sweat. Additionally, prolonged exposure to the sun can damage the skin’s collagen, causing it to lose its ability to bounce back, leading to—you guessed it—enlarged pores.

Each treatment typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the chosen procedure and the area being treated. HydraTite is more like 90 minutes.
While side effects are generally minimal, some redness and swelling are common but subside within a few hours to a few days.
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs and the specific treatment chosen. Also, the extent of the issue at hand.
Results can be noticeable after the first session, but optimal results can require multiple sessions. It depends on the extent of the problem, really.
