What treatments would you recommend? I was considering IPL and microneedling. I was diagnosed with rosacea 3 years ago and have struggled with accepting my appearance ever since. I suffer with redness and extreme blushing - but my biggest hate is the texture of my skin..my pores are so defined and there seems to be nothing I can do, not even makeup will improve it.
Hello, What is the best way to shrink big pores like mine ?Ive had bad acne maybe 2 years ago and i was using erytromycin lotion to cure it, since then, my skin is UGLY My face is EXTREMELY OILY, RED,SWOLLED,ROUGH,FULL OF BIG PORES. Ive tried everything. ive been taking zinc, vitamin a,c supplements,im taking vit B5 right now and its helping me with oily skin. I would like to ask you what would you suggest me to do. Im thinking about IPL laser, is it good for pores,rough skin and redness ? Thnks
First IPL photofacial yesterday. Confused by what I was told at derms office compared to research.No redness after treatment, ,a few dark spots popped up.No pain, swelling, or bruising. I read that this can be used for brown spots, enlarged pores, rosacea, spider veins & wrinkles. Aesthetician said it wouldnt help pores or wrinkles. She said we were doing whole face, but did not. Did I get the wrong procedure, an incomplete procedure, or was I expecting more than an IPL can provide? Thank you
My pores are very large and are always clogged. I have bad discoloration on my chin and cheeks from acne scars. I'm 21 and have noticed since 16 that my skin just keeps getting worse and the pores on my cheeks have significantly enlarged. I've never gotten a professional treatment done and was considering IPL but was not sure if that's the correct route to go. I've tried many prescribed medication such as doxycycline pills, retinol cream, tretinoin cream and tretinoin gel.
I had a Fotofacial 12 years ago and the laser was also radio frequency. I had amazing results but notice many laser services don't seem to include radio frequency. Why is that and what type of laser should I inquire about. I have moderate sun damage , I am 57 years old, light complexion, and would like to target my large pores, fine lines, overall skin tone, broken capillaries, with a bit of firming if possible.
I had IPL done 6 months ago strictly for broken capillaries. I've noticed my skin either looks like there's tiny holes all over it or my pores have enlarged. Can IPL cause pores to look larger?? I've seen some posts on here where people were complaining about the same thing. I wanted to hear a doctors opinion on this. I'm now extremely hesitant to do another session even though it helped with my broken capillaries. Skin background- extremely oily, fair, and 29 years old.
