Treat Enlarged Pores in Saltcoats & Kilmarnock
Enlarged pores are a common skin concern that can affect individuals of all ages. Pores are small openings on the skin’s surface that release sweat and sebum, a natural oil that helps keep the skin lubricated. When these pores become enlarged, they can appear more noticeable and may contribute to an uneven skin texture. Enlarged pores are often a result of excess oil production, aging, sun damage, or genetic factors.
Whether you feel like you look older, tired or just in need of a bit of a glow up to get a spring back in your step then we are the clinic for you.
We prioritise your safety, using expert knowledge, premium products and over a decade of experience to deliver you unrivalled results.
CAUSES OF ENLARGED PORES
Excess Oil Production
Overactive sebaceous glands can lead to an accumulation of oil and dead skin cells within the pores, causing them to stretch and appear larger.
Aging
As we age, skin loses its elasticity, and collagen production decreases, leading to the expansion of pores.
Sun Damage
Prolonged sun exposure can weaken the skin's collagen and elastin, causing pores to enlarge.
Genetics
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having larger pores.
Treatments for Enlarged Pores
At Clinic 22, we offer a variety of advanced treatments designed to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and enhance your skin’s overall texture and tone. Our experienced nurse practitioners will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Hydrafacial
HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. It uses a unique vortex technology to remove impurities and infuse the skin with nourishing serums, resulting in a smoother, more refined complexion.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment helps to tighten and refine the skin, reducing the appearance of enlarged pores.
Laser Facial Treatment
Laser facials are effective in targeting pigmentation issues by breaking down melanin clusters and promoting an even skin tone. This treatment also stimulates collagen production, enhancing overall skin health.
Skincare Tips for Managing Enlarged Pores
In addition to professional treatments, incorporating a consistent skincare routine can help manage enlarged pores. Consider the following tips:
Cleanse Regularly: Use a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities from the skin.
Exfoliate: Regular exfoliation helps to prevent the buildup of dead skin cells that can clog pores.
Moisturise: Hydrating the skin can prevent overproduction of oil, which can contribute to enlarged pores.
Sun Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the skin from sun damage.
