I'm 22 and have always suffered from large pores and oliy skin. Now after a course of cryotheraphy. Several times I also did myself microneedling at home. If I pass a course of PRP therapy can I suppose to have a smoother and pored-free face
Answer: Treatment to reduce pore size Thank you for you question. Microneedling with PRP therapy is very effective in reducing the size of pores and giving the skin better texture and clarity. I think you will find that the microneedling treatment offered by a board certified plastic surgeon to be more effective than any at-home treatment.

Answer: Recommend doing a combination of a resurfacing lacer such as LaseMD and a Melapeel to help tighten the pores. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Large pores treatment with Microneedling and PRP at home? At home Microneedling rollers have limitations primarily due to the depth of penetration. PRP is a specialized procedure involving multiple steps, performed by a trained medical professional under sterile conditions. Please do not try Medical Microneedling and PRP at home.

Answer: Microneedling with PRP for Pore Size Thank you for your message! Microneedling is a great option to help with skin texture, fine lines, and poor size. It helps to induce collagen production. When coupled with PRP, the effects are boosted and healing times tend to be reduced! Multiple treatments are typically needed, about 6-8 weeks apart. While at home skin care is very important, we typically recommend going to a medical professional for more in depth treatments!

Answer: Both in Office Treatments and At Home are Necessary Yes – it will help, but our philosophy as doctors and medical aestheticians is that your skin is as good as your homecare. If you don’t take care of your skin at home with good products, then the treatment results will not be optimal. With microneedling and PRP, you are making a commitment to your skin and that commitment includes what you are doing at home. Pore size depends on how you clean your skin. If your skin is not being cleaned regularly, you are allowing make-up from the day and other elements to embed into your pores. Regular, but not daily exfoliation will often help, and there are now products such as Defanage which truly diminish the appearance of pores.
