Pore Reduction

Get to know

What Are Enlarged Pores?

Enlarged pores are visibly dilated openings on the skin’s surface. They result from factors like excess oil production, decreased skin elasticity, and accumulation of debris. While pore size is largely determined by genetics, lifestyle factors such as aging, sun exposure, and improper skincare can make them appear more prominent. Although pores cannot be completely eliminated, their appearance can be refined with targeted pores treatments and consistent skin care. At our clinic, we offer enlarged pores treatment options designed to refine skin texture and enhance overall skin health.

Why Do Pores Appear Larger?

Several factors contribute to the enlargement of pores:
Overactive oil glands produce more sebum, causing pores—especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin)—to stretch.
A reduction in collagen and elastin leads to less firm skin, causing pores to sag and look more noticeable.
Ultraviolet (UV) exposure thickens and damages the skin’s surface, which can widen pores.
Dead skin cells, oil, and debris can build up, enlarging pores and increasing the risk of blackheads and acne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enlarged pores are commonly caused by:

  • Excess oil production (often due to oily skin)
  • Genetics – some individuals naturally have larger pores
  • Ageing – as skin loses collagen and elasticity, pores appear larger
  • Sun damage – which thickens the skin and stretches pore openings
  • Acne and clogged pores – can stretch and damage pore walls over time

Pores are most noticeable on the nose, cheeks, and forehead, especially in individuals with oily or combination skin types.

Effective enlarged pores treatments in Singapore include:
