Would micro needling help with enlarged pores on my nose?

Question

Would micro needling help with enlarged pores on my nose? The skin on my nose is already quite thick and what i don't want is for this procedure to make my skin on my nose thicker.

Hello and thank you for your question. Microneedling works very well for shrinking pores, reducing scars, and blending sunspots.

Hi @LGlazeuk.  Microneedling is a great treatment to reduce enlarged pores. I recommend seeking treatments from experienced processionals for optimal results. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

I recommend a combination approach for enlarged pores with lasers, microneedling and skin care. I always add prp to microneedling to enhance results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Microneedling does help improve the appearance of pores. There isn't anything that actually reduces the pore size, but procedures that increase collagen around the pores will make them look smaller. Microneedling stimulates collagen production and works well for this, as well as for scars and overall skin texture improvement. There are stronger microneedling options that include radiofrequency with the needles, so if you don't see the desired effect with microneedles alone, you could boost the strength of your procedure.

Thank you for your question! Microneedling is great at addressing any skin texture concern which includes reduction of pore size. It can also help improve fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

This is a very important question! I recommend Microneedling with PRP as an effective way to treat acne scars, uneven complexion, fine lines and wrinkles, larger pores and more. Be sure to consult a certified practitioner before moving forward with the treatment.

Microneedling is a great treatment to help smooth and diminish large pores. It is best to consult with your provider to determine if you are a good candidate and to discuss a treatment plan. Best to you, Dr Faraz

Microneedling is an excellent option for pores on the nose. It will stimulate the buildup of collagen which can smooth scars and fine lines over time. If human growth factors are used for the procedure, then the results are even better. Texture, pores, evenness, pigment, scars, fine lines, acne and inflammation are all targeted by this concentrated combo treatment. It's a personal favorite for my own skin for redness and dry patches this time of year. Pores typically shrink in size and become less prominent after only 1 or 2 treatments. Best of luck.

Hi LGlazeuk,
Microneedling would definitely improve the size of your pores and the general texture of your skin. However, don't expect it to work overnight. You may need a few session to see your desired results and maintenance every six months.
Avoid unprotected sun exposure and use the right skincare, preferably with retinols.
All the best, 
Justin Harper, M.D.
