I’m a 20 year old woman. How can I permanently minimise pores on my face? (Photo)

Hi @cocosims! Microneedling is a great treatment to reduce enlarged pores, but microneedling is not recommended on active acne. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thanks for your question.  Part of your pore size is genetic and can't be changed.  More than likely, you can get significant improvement by taking better care of your skin.  Develop a good skin care regime with quality products.  Take your makeup off every night and wash your face morning and night.  If that is not satisfactory, start getting a gentle chemical peel on a regular basis.  As you get older, introduce laser treatments.  Best of luck.

Permanent pore reduction is not possible as it is genetic. If you have large pits, sure, TCA CROSS can help, but general pore sizing can be reduced with Fraxel lasers, Clear and Brilliant, as well as energy based microneedling RF with PRP. Some patients need 3-4 sessions for best outcomes. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
