Pores are a reflection of several environmental, physiologic, and genetic factors.  Contrary to the beauty industry, there is no single product or treatment that will universally improve pores.  The pores enlarge because of hormonal influences, rosacea, the environment and region of the country you live in, the indoor atmosphere (humid or cool), the oiliness of your skin, presence of hyperhidrosis, and of course, genetics.

Our office employs an aggresive exfoliative treatment protocol including Pore Clarifying Pads used on a daily basis.  This allows the external causes of pores to subside and induces gradual improvement in skin pore quality and size.
