Fractional Laser for Large Pores on Nose?

Fractional co2 laser and chemical peels may help with pores on the nose.  A combination regimen with retinoids may help improve the visibility of pores. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Reduced pore sizes is one of the results commonly seen with CO2 laser treatment. Skin preparation and maintenance with a good skin care regime involving retinol is important.Much depends on the age and quality of the skin of the patient. I have seen very good results for enlarged pores on the nose after a single treatment. Equally, some patients require a series of treatments.

I would first of all get on a good skin care regimen. This is probably the most important thing to limit further problems. The fractional CO2 is certainly something to consider. Unlike the lasers you experienced in years past the recovery should be shorter with less redness and flaking.

Yes, we see amazing results with CO2 laser and pore reduction. The heat associated with laser resurfacing tends to shrink pores and give a better cosmetic look post healing.
