Recognising the Concern

Do You Notice These Changes?

Visible Pores

Pores may appear larger or more noticeable, especially around the nose, cheeks, and forehead. This can result from excess oil production, buildup of dead skin cells, or loss of skin elasticity over time.

Uneven Texture

Skin with enlarged pores can look rough or less smooth. Factors such as sun exposure, ageing, and improper cleansing can accentuate pore visibility, making the complexion appear dull or uneven.

Understanding the Concern

What Causes Large Facial Pores??

Understanding the reasons behind enlarged facial pores is essential for effectively managing and reducing their appearance. Here are the key factors that contribute to large facial pores:

  • Excess Oil Production and Clogged Pores – Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, which can clog pores and make them appear larger, especially in oily or combination skin types.
  • Genetic Predisposition – Family history plays a significant role. If large pores run in your family, you’re naturally more prone to having visible, enlarged pores.
  • Aging and Collagen Loss – As you age, decreased collagen and elastin production can lead to reduced skin firmness, causing pores to sag and appear larger over time.
  • Sun Exposure and UV Damage – Prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays breaks down collagen, diminishing skin elasticity and making pores more pronounced.
  • Environmental Pollution and Toxins – Exposure to pollutants and environmental irritants can lead to clogged pores and inflammation, further contributing to their enlarged appearance.
  • Skincare routine – Using harsh skincare products or neglecting proper exfoliation can result in the buildup of dead skin cells, which accentuates the appearance of large pores.

Treatment Options

Approaches We May Discuss

Clear complexion laser

A non-invasive, advanced treatment designed to shrink large facial pores. Utilising precise laser technology, it effectively reduces pore size while stimulating collagen production for improved skin elasticity and firmness. Achieve a smoother, clearer complexion with minimal downtime.

ReFresh Microneedling

Refresh Microneedling utilises ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process jumpstarts your skin’s natural healing, boosting collagen production and refining skin texture. As a result, large pores are minimised, revealing a smoother, more polished complexion.

Other Pore treatments

Dr. Teh also offers additional treatments under medical guidance that, in line with TGA advertising restrictions, cannot be detailed publicly on this website. Please contact the clinic directly to discuss the full range of options available to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Honest answer: no pore size is largely determined by genetics and skin type, and no treatment or product permanently changes it.
  • Anyone promising to “shrink pores forever” is overpromising.
  • What treatments genuinely can do is dramatically reduce the appearance of pores: clearing the oil and debris that stretch them, and stimulating collagen so the skin around each pore is firmer and tighter.
  • The result reads as smaller, more refined pores and it’s maintainable with ongoing care.
  • This is one of skincare’s most persistent myths pores have no muscles, so they can’t open or close. Warm water softens the oil inside pores (making cleansing more effective), and cold water temporarily tightens the surrounding skin, but the pore itself doesn’t change size.
  • What actually changes pore appearance long-term is keeping them clear and supporting the collagen around them which is what clinical treatments target.
  • The main drivers are excess oil production stretching the pore, genetics, and ageing as collagen declines, the skin around each pore loses firmness and the opening appears larger.
  • Sun damage accelerates this collagen loss significantly (a particular factor in Perth), and buildup from inadequate exfoliation or heavy products makes pores look more prominent.
  • Often neither blackheads nor “dirty” pores — many of the small grey-ish dots across the nose are sebaceous filaments: a normal structure of oil and skin cells lining every pore.
  • They return within weeks no matter how thoroughly they’re squeezed.
  • True blackheads are darker, more raised and less uniform.
  • The distinction matters because squeezing sebaceous filaments damages and stretches pores over time — professional treatments manage oil and refine texture without that trauma.
  • At Dermedica, effective options include the Clear Complexion laser, which refines texture and stimulates collagen around the pores, and ReFresh Microneedling, which triggers the skin’s repair response to firm and smooth the surface.
  • Additional medical options exist that can’t be detailed online under TGA advertising rules — these are discussed at consultation.
  • Most patients see the best results from a course of treatments combined with the right home skincare.
  • Yes — it’s one of the better-supported approaches. The controlled micro-injuries trigger collagen production in the skin surrounding each pore, firming the structure so pores appear tighter and texture smoother.
  • A course of sessions is typically recommended, with improvement building progressively as new collagen forms over the following weeks and months.
  • Good skincare genuinely helps: retinoids increase cell turnover and support collagen, niacinamide helps regulate oil, and chemical exfoliants (like salicylic acid) keep pores clear.
  • Daily sunscreen protects the collagen that keeps pores tight.
  • But skincare works at the surface and maintains, it can’t rebuild lost collagen the way clinical treatments can.
  • The strongest results come from combining both, which is exactly what’s mapped out at your consultation.
  • Pore-refining treatments are typically performed as a course, commonly 3 to 6 sessions depending on the treatment and your skin — with gradual, cumulative improvement.
  • Downtime is minimal for most options: some redness for a few hours to a day or two after microneedling or laser, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately.
  • The cost depends on the treatments recommended, the area treated and the number of sessions in your plan, so it varies between patients.
  • After your consultation and skin assessment, you’ll receive a clear, personalised quote with no obligation to proceed.
  • Dr Joanna Teh (General and Specialist Registration – General Practice – MED0001531429) assesses your skin type, oil levels, pore pattern and any related concerns (like congestion or acne), then builds a realistic plan combining in-clinic treatments and home care.
  • Consultations are held at our clinic in Scarborough, Perth, with honest expectations — including what treatment can and can’t change — and no obligation to proceed.
