Large Pores
If you have spent money on serums, toners and skincare products that never quite delivered, the issue may be structural rather than topical. Pore appearance is shaped by factors that sit below what any cream or serum can reach. At Severn River Medspa, our physician-led team evaluates the underlying causes of your pore concerns before recommending a treatment.
Understanding Large Pores
Pores appear larger for several reasons, including:
- Loss of firmness in the surrounding skin
- Excess sebum production that stretches pores over time
- Sun damage that thickens the tissue around them
- Collagen loss with age, which loosens the skin that once held pores tight
- Genetics, particularly in oilier skin types
Pore size is largely fixed, but the visible appearance of pores is highly responsive to the right treatment.
Your Treatment Options
SkinPen microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body's natural collagen production. Over a series of treatments, patients often notice a visible reduction in pore size as the skin's foundation rebuilds from within.
Virtue RF combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to deliver heat precisely into the deeper layers of skin. The combination targets the laxity around pores that needling alone does not reach.
Chemical peels accelerate cell turnover and clear the congestion that makes pores look wider than they are. Regular peels can also improve skin tone, building on the results of other treatments over time.
Microdermabrasion refines the skin's surface and is a good option for patients who are earlier in their skincare journey or looking to maintain results between more intensive treatments.
Medical-grade skincare is part of any effective pore treatment plan. The products you use at home between appointments influence how well your results hold. We can recommend SkinCeuticals and iS Clinical products that complement your in-office treatments and help maintain your results at home.
