I have huge pores, and as a result, tons of blackheads. What would you recommend to use for that, Fraxel and Microneedling? Thank you!
Answer: Microneedling combined with prp can help reduce pore size and even outshine texture Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Fraxel Fraxel is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that treats signs of skin aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, sun damage/age spots, brown spots, laxity, crepiness, pore size. It creates focal zones of thermal injury which causes intense collagen stimulation and growth of new cells. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Answer: Pores size and treatment options I choose a particular laser based upon the size of the pore, skin type of the patient, and expectations. I find that the most reliable method is with INFINI RF, micro needling using energy. This beats all my Fraxel lasers and chemical peel techniques. Very little downtime, and it is ideal for small to medium size pores. Fraxel 1927 comes in a close second in the high density setting.

Answer: Large pores and blackheads The combination of hydrafacial and microneedling are a great start for your problem. Once the skin is clean and free of blackheads, I would continue treatment of the large pores with a Clear and Brilliant laser that has been proven to shrink and decrease pores.
