How Does Microneedling Help with Large Pores?

Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin using tiny needles, which trigger your body’s natural healing response. This results in increased collagen and elastin production—two key components that firm and tighten the skin around pores.

As collagen regenerates, the skin becomes more compact and smooth, which minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores over time.

Benefits for Pore Reduction:

• Refines skin texture by stimulating collagen

• Strengthens skin around pores, making them appear smaller

• Improves oil balance and sebum regulation

• Boosts absorption of serums and active ingredients

Is RF Microneedling Better for Pores?

Yes—RF microneedling goes deeper and uses thermal energy to tighten the skin from within. This enhances the pore-shrinking effect, especially for those with sagging skin and visible open pores around the cheeks, nose, or T-zone.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

For visible pore reduction:

• Microneedling: 3–5 sessions

• RF Microneedling: 2–4 sessions

Spacing: 4–6 weeks apart for optimal collagen production and results.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• Oily skin with large pores

• Aging skin with decreased elasticity

• Acne-prone skin with congested pores

• Skin with rough texture or dullness

Can It Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes! For best results, microneedling is often combined with:

• Chemical peels (alternate sessions)

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma)

• Polynucleotide serums

• Hydrafacial or Carbon Laser (prior to microneedling)

Results Timeline

• First improvements visible in 2–3 weeks

• Pores look tighter, skin feels firmer

• Continued improvement over 2–3 months
