Who Can Benefit
Pores look larger when the skin around them loses collagen or holds excess oil. PicoWay sends picosecond pulses beneath the surface, which triggers collagen remodelling and gradually tightens the skin around each pore.
- Enlarged pores on the cheeks, nose or forehead
- Rough or uneven texture, often after years of acne or oily skin
- Patients who also want brighter tone or fewer brown spots, which PicoWay treats in the same session
- Patients who cannot take several days of downtime
Very oily skin may need oil control alongside, such as a medical facial or prescription skincare. For deeper texture we may suggest Matrix RF microneedling or Fotona instead.
We postpone treatment with a fresh tan, active skin infection, or during pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pores be closed permanently?
No treatment closes pores for good. PicoWay makes them look smaller and smoother; ageing, oil and sun can enlarge them again over time.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Skin often looks smoother after the first session. Pore refinement builds over 3 to 5 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart.
How long do results last?
Typically 6 to 9 months, depending on skin type and aftercare. Many patients have a maintenance session once or twice a year.
Is there downtime?
Mild redness for a few hours. A soothing mask is applied after treatment, and you can return to work the same day.
Which is better for pores, PicoWay or Matrix RF Microneedling?
PicoWay suits mild to moderate pores with uneven tone. Matrix RF microneedling reaches deeper and suits pores with scarring or laxity. We recommend one after examining your skin.
PicoWay also treats pigmentation, tattoos and other concerns. See the full overview on our PicoWay Laser page.
