Does microdermabrasion shrink large pores?

Hi Angela,

In our experience, the only tried and true method for long-term pore size reduction is using laser (thermal) energy to affect changes to the size and structure of the sebaceous glands.  Because the sebaceous glands produce/hold oil, sebum, etc. - they also become heavy, so to speak.  This then pulls on the surface of the skin and enlarges the pore.  We utilize the Aramis Quantel laser which has a wavelength that specifically works upon the sebaceous glands.  These treatments usually require approximately six laser treatments and no downtime.  Because microdermabrasion does not affect changes to the sebaceous glands - it is not appropriate for the goal of pore size reduction.
