Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores, more commonly referred to as open pores, occur as visible depressions that appear on the skin’s surface. Common areas where enlarged pores arise on the face include the nose and cheeks. These pores are typically the openings where sweat glands and hair follicles reach the skin’s surface. At The White Room Clinic, our team take a holistic approach to dealing with enlarged pores and offer a range of specialised treatments which are tailored to suit your skin type. These can include injectables and microneedling which stimulate collagen production and reduce pore size.

UNDERSTANDING ENLARGED PORES

Pore enlargement occurs when the openings become more prominent. Several factors can cause enlarged pores:

  • Genetics: Individuals can be genetically predisposed to having bigger, open pores. Inherited skin structure, overall elasticity, and oil production are top genetic factors.
  • Sun exposure: UV damage from sun exposure can cause the skin to thicken and reduce collagen, leading to larger pores.
  • Skin type: Oily skin tends to have more visible pores due to increased sebum production.
  • Excess sebum: An increase in oil (sebum) production can overstretch pores.
  • Clogged pores: Oil, dirt, or dead skin cells can clog pores up which causes them to stretch and appear enlarged.
  • Age: Skin loses elasticity as it ages, causing pores to appear larger.

SKIN RESURFACING

Our Skin Resurfacing treatment uses Venus Viva™ technology to deliver precise radiofrequency energy through tiny pins, creating controlled microdermal wounds while leaving the surrounding skin intact. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process and supports collagen production, which can help smooth the skin and improve overall tone and texture.

HYDRAFACIAL

The HydraFacial is a non-invasive treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using advanced technology. This three-step process involves cleansing to reveal a fresh layer of skin, extracting impurities with gentle suction, and hydrating with nourishing serums. The treatment can be customised with potent boosters to address specific skin concerns, resulting in a refreshed and radiant complexion without downtime.

Using polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA, this treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes skin regeneration, making it ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. Suitable for those looking to refresh their complexion and enhance skin hydration, Rejuran Classic offers a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime. Perfect for addressing the signs of aging and dull skin.
