Pores are small openings in your skin.
Your pores bring sweat and oil to the surface of the skin. When pores become enlarged, they’re more likely to trap dirt and oil, leaving you with inflammation and acne. Enlarged pores can also be unsightly and make it harder to apply skin products and makeup.
Many people don’t realize that pores are actually hair follicles, and the size and depth depend largely on genetics.
In addition, outside factors such as aging, oil production, and dry skin can affect the appearance of your pores.

Recommended Treatments
Our facial peels shed away the top layer of your skin to remove pore-blocking impurities and reduce the appearance of scarring. Once your skin finishes peeling, you’ll have fresh, smooth, and soft skin.
The HydraFacial system uses innovative Vortex-Fusion technology to exfoliate and extract dirt and other debris from the skin. This non-invasive treatment is perfect for people suffering from oily, acne-prone skin.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) treats hyperpigmentation from enlarged pore-induced acne scarring by targeting melanin (pigment-producing cells) in the skin. When those cells absorb light, that energy transforms into heat and destroys hyperactive melanin, giving you a more evenly toned complexion.
Fractora is a fractional resurfacing treatment that fights against unwanted pigmentation and reduces the appearance of large pores. By using radiofrequency (RF) energy, Fractora penetrates deep layers of tissue to rejuvenate the skin.
The SkinPen is an FDA-cleared microneedling device used to treat enlarged pores and promote cellular turnover. Combined with your body's own platelet-rich plasma, growth factors continue building the skin for long-term results.
