Why Are Your Pores Enlarged — and Why Skincare Alone Won’t Fix It
Enlarged pores are typically caused by three overlapping factors: excess sebum production (overactive sebaceous glands), keratinous buildup (dead skin cells blocking pore openings), and loss of dermal support (collagen degradation weakening the pore walls). Topical products like toners and minimizing serums can temporarily reduce the appearance of pores — but they cannot influence sebaceous gland activity or rebuild collagen at the dermal level.
Rappoel Dermatology Clinic in Seoul offers professional laser pore treatments that address the root causes: targeted thermal energy remodels collagen around pores and suppresses overactive sebum production, producing results that topicals simply cannot achieve.
What Laser Pore Treatment Can Improve
- Nose pores (strawberry nose): Most common request — reduces sebum and visually shrinks nasal pores
- Cheek pores: T-zone extension across cheeks; overall skin texture improvement
- Uneven skin tone: Laser simultaneously addresses pigmentation, brightening overall complexion
- Shallow acne scarring: Fractional laser options can concurrently improve superficial pock marks
Laser Options at Rappoel
- Non-ablative laser: Minimal downtime; suitable for first-timers or busy schedules; requires multiple sessions
- Fractional laser: More significant results; addresses both pores and shallow scars; 3–5 days of mild redness post-treatment
- Picosecond / Q-switched laser: Simultaneously treats pigmentation and pores — ideal for patients with combined concerns
Rappoel physicians recommend the most suitable laser combination based on your skin type, goals, and acceptable downtime.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Guidelines
- Stop retinoid (vitamin A) products 2 weeks before treatment
- Strict sun protection (SPF 50+) after treatment; avoid direct sun exposure
- After fractional laser: mild crusting sensation for 3–5 days is normal — do not pick or peel
- Recommended course: 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart
