I'm 31& have orange peel skin & open pores even stretched looking pores on my nose, makeup only makes it look worse so i'm really depressed. I've tried using retin-A for 8 months but my pores became more visible & my skin became more creep looking, i've had microdermabrasions, chemical peels. Is laser a good idea as i've read it can do more damage however Phillips have a non surgical ReAura laser skin rejuvenation which you use at home its £800 for is it worth is? Thanks

Answer: Enlarged pores: start with oil control + improve skin elasticity The enlarged pores are often associated with excess oiliness of the skin. I'd suggest a review of your skin care to begin with.In theory, any treatment which heats the skin (which I assume it's what the Phillips device does) and triggers some degree of inflammatory response can stimulate collagen production and remodeling which will improve the elasticity of the skin.At the present state of the arts, I think your money may be better spent on treatments carried out by professionals or at least supervised by professionals.I have seen good results with problems like yours with the CO2 laser.

Answer: Orange Peel Skin and Large Pore Treatment
Hi LG,
I am not familiar with the ReAura. We have seen some improvement in large pores with intr-dermal injection of Botox and with the use of Ulthera, micro-focused ultra-sound therapy. With true Fraxel repair laser skin resurfacing there has also been improvement in most patients. Good luck and be well.
