Laser & skin creams can help improve your pores
Some creams are designed to fill in the pores temporarily and make them less obvious. Some, not all, patients notice smaller pores after they are treated with non surgical laser and thermal energy devices such as Fraxel Restore, Fraxel Repair as well as Portrait Plasma.
