I've tried researching but the answers seem mixed. Can you or can you not shrink enlarged pores? I have very oily skin and large pores and I'm trying to narrow down some treatments that can help with that. Laser genesis has been suggested. Is it any good? Are there better options you can suggest?

Answer: Pore size Pore size is genetic, but what makes everyone's pores become more noticeable and larger with age is the loss of superficial dermal collagen, the support around the pores. When this loss occurs, the pores literally 'open up' and become more noticeable. What can be done to keep dermal collagen healthy? Tretinoins(Retin A), microneedling, microlaser peels, chemical peels, SilkPeels, Genesis, Broad Band Light, Freactional Laser systems all play a part in encouraging collagen growth. That is why we offer a Youthfull You Package which allows you to select one of these treatments at each visit to keep that collagen healthy and supporting a healthy, small pored skin.

Answer: How to shrink pores The answer is that you cannot change your pore size but you can change the texture of the overall skin and the tone, which helps to alleviate the large pore appearance. Laser Genesis is good for this and is an effective minimal downtime treatment. You could also consider using Retin-A which helps with texture. And finally, a Clarisonic device helps cleanse the skin so much better than hands or a washcloth and you'd be surprised how good the skin looks when it's really clean and moisturized properly.
