Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores are mainly caused by our genetics. People with oily skin tend to have enlarged pores due to the overproduction of sebum that impacts the pores and makes them more visible. In addition, the loss of collagen in the skin due to the aging process and sun exposure makes pores even more pronounced.

Enlarged oil glands or sebaceous hyperplasia tend to happen to people with oily skin, fair complexion, and a history of unprotected sun exposure. Usually, oil glands are microscopic and invisible. However, when oil glands over-produce sebum and it becomes trapped inside, the glands grow and appear as shiny bumps on the skin with a depressed center.

So, what can be done to shrink pores and reduce the oil glands? Enlarged pores and oil glands best respond to combination therapy- balancing sebum secretion to reduce pore and gland impaction, boosting collagen to tighten pore openings, and keeping skin nourished, hydrated, and protected from the elements to slow down the aging process and maintaining skin optimal health.

Cataleya Aesthetics team has all the right skills, tools, and products to improve the appearance of enlarged pores and transform your skin.

  • Advanced Facials and Chemical Peels performed by our Licensed Estheticians will help your skin look its best by exfoliating dead cells and debris, controlling oil production, deeply nourishing and hydrating, and stimulating fibroblast activity and collagen production. We utilize top-of-the-line, well-established products and technologies such asHydraFacialMD, VI Peel, Celluma LED, 7E Microcurrent, O2toDerm Oxygen Therapy, and others.
  • CosmoPen Medical Grade Microneedling and Forma RF treatment improve skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin synthesis and tightening pores.
  • Lumecca IPL helps regulate oil production and boost collagen synthesis while beautifying the complexion.
  • Very large oil glands can be treated by cryotherapy (freezing) or surgical excision.
  • Our treatments can be further enhanced with Clinical Grade Skin Care at home. Epionce (USA), Sesderma (Spain), Vivant (USA), and Innoaesthetics (Spain) products can improve your skin appearance and feel, maintain the results of the procedures you undergo, and protect your skin from the elements.
