Medical Microneedling to Reduce Pore Size

Are you constantly trying to minimise the appearance of large pores with makeup or topical products, only to find the results less than satisfying? You're not alone. Enlarged pores are a common skin concern amongst our patients, especially those who have struggled with acne or blackheads. If you’re looking for an effective treatment, microneedling (seriously one of our favourite treatments) is worth considering.

Understanding Enlarged Pores

Pores play a vital role in skin health, allowing it to breathe and expel oils and sweat. However, factors like genetics and age can cause them to appear enlarged. Sun damage is another big factor here. Oily skin types are particularly prone to this issue, as excess sebum and debris can stretch the pore opening. Often if you’re struggling with enlarged pores, you might also feel like your skin overall is bumpy, porous, or rough.

What is Medical Microneedling?

Medical microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate the skin. By creating microscopic punctures in the skin's surface, it stimulates the body's natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. This not only improves the skin's overall texture and tone but can significantly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. Basically, as new collagen is produced and the skin tightens, so too do the pores. Medical microneedling also regulates blackheads and acne, so your results are maintained for a much longer time than just using topical products alone.

The Science Behind Microneedling and Pore Reduction

The secret to microneedling's success lies in its ability to encourage the skin to heal itself. The micro-injuries caused by the needles kickstart a process of collagen synthesis, which tightens and firms the skin, making the pores less visible.

The Treatment Process

Wondering what to expect from a microneedling session at Port Medical Aesthetics?

Pre-Treatment Consultation: We'll assess your skin and discuss your concerns to ensure microneedling is the right option for you. You’ll also be provided with topical numbing cream, to make the procedure comfortable.

The Procedure: Using the Dermapen 4, we'll gently treat the targeted areas. Our dermal therapists adjust the depth of the Dermapen depending on what concern we’d like to target. The process is quick, with minimal discomfort thanks to that trusty numbing cream.

Post-Treatment Care: We'll provide you with aftercare instructions to maximise the healing process. Downtime is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily activities promptly. Just no exercise for 24 hours ok!
