Will Chemical Peels Treat Large Pores?

Chemical peels  are definitely good for patients with large pores. They safely remove or exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, allowing new, more youthful, healthy skin to show through. While the skin typically sheds old, dull dead skin cells every 28 days, this process slows down with prolonged sun exposure and aging. Chemical peels cause this natural cell turnover process to speed up, helping to stimulate the growth of new collagen—the skin-firming protein that acts like a scaffold for the skin. The speed or depth of cell turnover is determined by the concentration of the peel and the amount of time it’s left on skin.

There are many patients who benefit from chemical peels to rejuvenate the skin but peels usually  do not shrink the pores.  However, Clear and Brilliant has had better success with treating pores than other modalities.  Best, Dr. Green
