Wide pore treatment

Overview:

Wide pores are usually due to hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands in the skin causing excessive oil secretions, as well as loss of elasticity around the pores, which makes the skin less supple and the pores appear enlarged. Treatment options include peeling using chemical peels or laser resurfacing, or micro-needling/dermapen therapy to stimulate growth of new collagen fibers.
