Enlarged pores, also known as open pores, are a common problem that affects nearly everyone to a degree. They’re more common in people with oily skin, however, and in areas of greater sebum production such as the T-zone. While not a medical problem, enlarged pores can make your skin look dull, textured and unhealthy.

What Causes Enlarged Pores?
When the skin produces too much oil (i.e., sebum), pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells and debris, causing them to stretch and enlarge. Reduced skin elasticity with age can further contribute to this problem. While nearly everyone can develop enlarged pores, they’re more common in men, those with oily skin, and anyone with recurrent acne.

Treating Enlarged Pores With the HALO Laser
Enlarged pores rarely disappear on their own. To shrink pore size, you need a specialized treatment that improves your skin’s elasticity and rebalances sebum production.
At The Center for Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we utilize the HALO laser for this very purpose. Thanks to its unique technology that combines ablative and non-ablative skin resurfacing, the HALO laser can gently penetrate deeper layers of the skin to boost its elasticity and reduce oil production.
