Best Laser Treatment for Scars and Large Pores?

Shrinking your pores can
take several treatments. Chemical peels, prescription retin-a creams, and
lasers such as the Ematrix and Fraxel can all help with improving pore
size. There is also another in-office treatment called photodynamic light
therapy. This not only helps improve poor size but can target up to 75%
of your precancer skin cells, thus decreasing your risk for squamous cell
carcinoma.

While virtually every laser company likes to think that their specific laser reduces pore size, there is NO laser that actually does so. Pore size is best reduced by proper cleansing with a salicylic acid cleanser and a Clarisonic skin brush. This cleansing regimen will reduce pore size by removing its contents.

Instead of a laser, the Intense Pulsed Light from Lumenis has been demonstrated in multiple clinical studies to further reduce pore size. This effect is secondary to destroying or minimizing the size of a hair. Remember that a “pore” always contains a hair so the smaller the hair and the less “stuff” that is in the pore, the smaller it appears.
