Enlarged Pores

Visible pores are natural, but when they stretch or become clogged, they can make the skin look tired, uneven and less youthful. Pores often enlarge due to a loss of collagen (laxity), excess oil production, or sun damage. At ULANDA, we don't just treat the surface. We strengthen the collagen structure 'scaffolding' around the pore to tighten it back up, while refining the skin's tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pores actually be shrunk?

Pores cannot be erased (we need them!), but they can be significantly tightened by strengthening the collagen around them, making them look much smaller.

Will these treatments cause breakouts?

No. In fact, treatments like BioRePeel and Microneedling can help clear congestion and prevent future breakouts by keeping the pores clean.

Is there downtime?

Microneedling may cause 24–48 hours of redness, while peels like BioRePeel have zero social downtime.

Why do my pores look bigger as I age?

As we lose collagen, the skin loses elasticity and 'sags', causing the pore opening to stretch. Sun damage also degrades the collagen structure around the pore.

Can I just use a pore strip?

Pore strips only remove surface debris and often irritate the skin. They don't shrink the pore or prevent it from filling up again.

Does make-up clog pores?

Heavy, oil-based makeup can clog pores. We recommend mineral-based or non-comedogenic makeup, especially after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

For visible pore reduction, a course of 3-6 microneedling or peel sessions is widely recommended to build enough collagen to tighten the structure.

Is it suitable for oily skin?

Yes. In fact, these treatments often help to regulate oil production as well as refining texture.

Can men treat enlarged pores?

Absolutely. Many of our male clients choose microneedling and BioRePeel for clearer, smoother skin.

What skincare should I use at home?

We recommend a simple routine including a gentle cleanser, a chemical exfoliant (like Salicylic Acid or PHformula) used sparingly, and SPF daily.

Will it hurt?

Microneedling is performed with numbing cream so it is comfortable. BioRePeel tingles but is not painful.
