Laser for Open Pores

Open pores, especially on the face, can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals. At Skin CliniQ, Dr. Mahima Wadhwa offers advanced laser treatments to help minimize the appearance of open pores and improve skin texture.

What are Open Pores?

Open pores are enlarged pores that can be more noticeable due to factors such as genetics, oily skin, aging, and sun damage. They can give the skin a rough texture and make it more prone to acne and other issues.

How Laser Treatment for Open Pores Works

1. Laser Technology: Various laser technologies can be used to treat open pores, including fractional CO2 lasers, erbium lasers, and non-ablative lasers like Ndor fractional lasers.
2. Mechanism: The laser works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This process promotes collagen production, which tightens the skin and reduces the size of pores.
3. Surface and Deep Treatment: Lasers can target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin to provide comprehensive improvement in skin texture and pore size.
