Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores can make your skin appear rough, uneven, or aged, often drawing attention away from your natural beauty. At Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Rifai offers expert solutions to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores while improving overall skin tone, texture, and clarity. Whether caused by aging, acne, sun damage, or genetics, enlarged pores can be treated safely and effectively through advanced, minimally invasive procedures.

What Are Enlarged Pores?

Enlarged pores are a common skin concern that can make the complexion appear rough or uneven. Pores may appear more noticeable due to excess oil production, sagging skin, acne scars, sun damage, aging, or genetics. Although pores are a natural part of the skin’s structure, certain factors can cause them to expand, such as:

• Clogged debris
• Decreased collagen
• Prolonged sun exposure

While pores can’t be eliminated completely, there are effective ways to reduce their appearance and restore smooth, healthy, treated skin.

How Can We Treat Enlarged Pores?

Dr. Rifai offers a variety of minimally invasive procedures designed to address enlarged pores and other common skin conditions such as uneven skin tone, acne scars, wrinkles, and sun damaged skin. Treatments are customized to suit each patient’s medical history, skin color, and desired results:

Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This helps tighten sagging skin and reduces the look of enlarged pores, wrinkles, deep scars, and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution, such as salicylic acid, to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. Different strengths are available depending on the severity of skin concerns:

1. Light Chemical Peel: Often used for mild acne, dullness, or slight discoloration.
2. Medium Chemical Peel: This peel treats wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.
3. Deep Chemical Peel: An intensive treatment reaches the deeper layers of skin to treat deep scars, age spots, and precancerous growths.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is used to remove the outer layer of damaged skin and stimulate the growth of new skin. Laser resurfacing is highly effective for enlarged pores, sun damage, deep wrinkles, and scarring.

Medical Grade Skincare

To maintain results and protect treated skin, Dr. Rifai may recommend medical-grade skincare products. These often include bleaching agents for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, retinoids, or acids like salicylic and glycolic acid to prevent clogged pores and promote cell turnover.
