Who Can Benefit
Pores look larger when the skin around them loses collagen and firmness. Collagen-building boosters, especially Juvelook (HA + PDLLA), strengthen and tighten the surrounding skin, so pores look smaller and texture becomes smoother. Profhilo helps where the skin is also lax, and Plinest where it is sensitive.
- Enlarged pores on the cheeks, often with rough texture
- Pores that look larger with age or loss of firmness
- Pores alongside shallow acne scars
- Patients who want a gradual improvement with little downtime
When oil is the main cause, oil control such as a medical facial or prescription skincare matters more. PicoWay and Matrix RF microneedling also refine pores, and we may combine them with boosters.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with active acne or infection in the treatment area, or with a known allergy to any ingredient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can skin boosters shrink pores permanently?
No treatment closes pores for good. Boosters make them look smaller by firming the skin around them, and maintenance keeps the result.
Which is better for pores: boosters, PicoWay or Matrix RF Microneedling?
Boosters suit pores linked to thinning or lax skin. PicoWay suits mild pores with uneven tone. Matrix RF microneedling reaches deepest for pores with scarring. We recommend one, or a combination, after examining your skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 to 5, spaced about 4 weeks apart.
When will I see results?
Skin feels smoother within a week or two. Pore refinement builds over 1 to 3 months as collagen forms.
How long do results last?
Typically 9 to 12 months, depending on the booster used and your skin.
Is there downtime?
Small bumps at the injection points usually settle within 24 to 48 hours.
Skin boosters also treat other skin concerns. See the full overview on our Skin Boosters page.
