I'm 37 years old and have always had large pores, but feel as if the have become more noticible with age and I'm really unhappy with the texture of my skin in general. With all of the skin treatments out there, can you please tell me which one you feel would work best for my skin? Thanks so much in advance!
Answer: Morpheus8 can help improve appearance of skin texture and shrink large pores Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Fraxel is a great laser for textural improvement of the skin. I really favor Fraxel fractionated non-invasive laser resurfacing for improvement in texture, pore size and pigment. The treatment intensity can be adjusted for the individual needs of the patient. Downtime is manageable (2 to 5 days of redness, swelling depending on intensity of treatment). Repeat treatments can be done that increases results. If you want to start with a milder treatment then I recommend Clear + Brilliant. C+B has no downtime and is often done in a series of 6 treatments, several weeks apart.

Answer: Fractional CO2 or microneedling will improve your texture Pore size is genetically determined and while there are not many thing that we can do to change the size of the pores we do have some tools that help minimize pore appearance. The better health the skin is in the smaller the pores will appear. I would recommend either a CO2 fractional laser or a series of microneedling treatments in order to stimulate collagen and skin turnover. Both of these treatments will help with texture issues. In our practice we combine these treatments with PRP. I would follow up with a maintenance protocol of a treatment facial or chemical peel once per month. Thank you for your question and good luck with your pursuit! Anne Bode

Answer: HALO To Improve Pore Size and Texture I would highly recommend HALO hybrid laser. It's a unique fractionated resurfacing laser that creates thermal channels in the skin. This results in a full field effect on the surface of the skin to generate increased collagen, improve texture tightening enlarged pores and evening out the pigment in the treatment area. Down time is minimal with this laser treatment with no need for an occlusive topical like Vaseline or Aquaphor. It only takes five days to reveal bright smooth even skin and the next few months you see the improvements for fine lines and skin firmness as collagen continues to increase in the deeper layers of the skin. This treatment can be used for most skin types, across many areas of the body with minor adjustments for darker skin tones. Our patients love the result!
