Overview
What are enlarged pores?
Pores are the small openings in the skin through which oil is released. They are not able to open or close, but they can look larger depending on skin type, texture and condition.
What causes them to look larger?
Genetics and skin type are the biggest factors, especially oilier skin. Sun damage, loss of firmness around the pore opening, past acne, build-up of oil and dead skin cells, and ageing can all make pores appear more noticeable over time.
Why people come to us
Reasons people seek consultations
Pores are often most noticeable up close, in good lighting or under makeup, which is when many people start looking for answers. A consultation helps identify what is behind it for your skin type. Common reasons include:
- Pores that look larger on the nose, cheeks or forehead
- Textured or uneven-looking skin
- Makeup that emphasises pores
- Pores that have become more noticeable with age
- Wanting a clear understanding of what is realistic for their skin type
Next steps
How should you manage enlarged pores?

Our consultations run for 45 minutes and are never rushed. During your consultation we can explain the different treatments that may be able to address enlarged pores. Our team is made up of health professionals who will help you understand what is realistic for your skin.
