I have extremely large open pores and I’m only 34. I use SPF everyday and use a retinol. What is the best in-office treatment?

I’m looking at PRP microneedling or laser. Which is more effective? I am not currently pregnant but will start trying for a baby soon, what products / treatments can I continue when pregnant? Are there any new revolutionary treatments in the pipeline to help permanently shrink pores?
