Enlarged pores
Enlarged pores are common with oily or ageing skin. Microneedling can strengthen the skin around the pores and make them look less prominent.
- → Visible, widened pores (usually nose, cheeks, forehead)
- → Uneven skin texture
- → Pores that show more in oily or tired skin
- → Oily skin and high sebum production
- → Reduced skin resilience with age
- → Sun and environmental damage
- → Genetics
- → Microneedling (strengthens skin around the pores)
- → PRP for skin
- → A regular series
- → A good skincare routine
Large, visible pores are one of the most common skin concerns and usually result from a combination of oily skin, genetics and the skin losing resilience with age. When the supporting tissue around a pore weakens, the pore looks larger. Pores cannot be "closed" permanently, but they can be made considerably less prominent.
Microneedling is an effective treatment for exactly this. By stimulating collagen production in the skin around the pores, the tissue is strengthened and tightened, which makes the pores look smaller and the surface more even. PRP can be combined to enhance the effect and improve skin quality in general. Many also find the skin becomes more matte and even in tone.
As with all collagen-stimulating treatment, the result builds over a series of treatments, and a good daily skincare routine (cleansing, possibly retinoids on advice) helps maintain it. A realistic goal is visibly smaller pores and more even skin, not pore-less skin, which no treatment can promise.

Questions about enlarged pores
Can you get rid of large pores?
Pores cannot be closed permanently, but they can be made considerably less prominent. Microneedling strengthens the skin around the pores with new collagen, which evens out the surface.
Which treatment is best for large pores?
Microneedling is often the first choice, ideally combined with PRP for better skin quality. The result builds over a series of treatments and is supported by a good skincare routine.
How quickly will I see results?
The skin can feel smoother within a week, but the clearer effect comes once new collagen has matured over the following months and several treatments.
