The little gaps on our skin known as open pores allow the skin to breathe and retain moisture. Additionally, they aid in the removal of pollutants from our systems. But occasionally, blockage and dilatation may cause these pores to enlarge. When they do, they pose an issue. People with oily skin are more likely to experience them.
These open pores can be highly unsightly to the eye, especially when they appear on the face, yet they are mostly painless and harmless. Genetics, age, heavy perspiration, unclean habits, bad cosmetics, or blackheads can all contribute to open pores.
When is this recommended?
- Extra sebum (oil) production.
- Thick hair follicles.
- Overexposure to sun.
- Reduction of collagen production.
- Genetically.
- Reduced elasticity around pores.
What is the Procedure?
- A pen-like device called a dermaroller is used to insert tiny stainless-steel needles into the skin to cause microinjuries or punctures, which is what microneedling involves.
- The treatment will take between 10 and 20 minutes, though you’ll need to factor in more time if you’re receiving topical anaesthesia.
- The skin will likely be numbed before treatment to eliminate or at least decrease pain and discomfort.
