I am a 34 year old Asian female. The pores around my nose are very large, much line the skin of an orange..yuck! I clean my pores, but they just appear more visible when "unclogged." Additionally, I'm EXTRA oil after I've unclogged my pores. I've been using tretinoids for years, but doesn't reduce the size of my pores. Please help! What is the most effective and longest lasting procedure for pore reduction, Botox, Fraxel Restore, Juvederm, other lasers, obagi nu-derm, anything?? THANKS!!!
Answer: Fraxel restore works best to reduce pore size In my experience, utilizing non-ablative Fraxel restore, ablative Fraxel repair, IPL, SmoothBeam, GentleYag, among other laser and light-based devices in my office, non-ablative Fraxel restore and ablative Fraxel repair work the best. Botox and fillers will not affect your pores at all. Skin care products containing retinoids and glycolic acids may temporarily reduce the appearance of pores.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Fraxel Can Tighten Pores on Nose Depending on how dark your skin is, I would either choose Fraxel Re:Pair – an ablative CO2 laser – or the gentler Fraxel Re:Store or Dual to help you improve the quality of skin on your nose. Re:Pair is the best laser for skin tightening and works with just one session. Yearly updates are recommended. Darker skin may do better with Re:Store, which is gentler but takes more than one session. Botox, Juvederm, and other fillers cannot help reduce the look of your pores. Please note that while laser resurfacing will improve your skin and tighten the pores, you will never have fine-grained skin; that's a matter of genetics. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to be evaluated for Fraxel.

Answer: Pore size and treatment
Unfortunately, the size of your pores is determined at conception. The pore is a physical opening with a specific diameter in the epidermis overlying a hair follicle's opening. If there is sebum and dead skin cells that pile up in this opening, it can make an appearance of a black head (open comedone) but at least the "hole" is plugged and the skin surface even. Once the pore is cleaned out, which some people try to do to minimize the prevalence of acne, the opening will be more apparent. Dermabrasion which is a sanding procedure, takes off layers of skin but can uncover a wider diameter of the follicle below the skin making the pore look bigger! I have found that Fraxel Restore is the only treatment that has helped make some patients' pores look less noticable but unfortuantely, this is not universal, nor guaranteed. Some patients do not get improvement and some can get worse.

Answer: Botox for Pores
The combination of both Botox Cosmetic via microinjections, laser treatment and retanoid treatments will give you the best result. While none will completely remove the pores, they may improve the appearance.
Good Luck.

Answer: Fotofacial and other non-ablative light based services are probably best.
Ablative services including Fraxel, CO2, chemical peeling are at best neutral on pore size. However, the non-ablative services like fotofacial (IPL) appear to stimulate collagen around the pore and subjective make pores look less large. One issue of concern is Asian skin which can be burned by these treatments when the amount of skin melanin is underestimated. Generally, 5 to 6 fotofacials are needed to obtain maximal pore improvement and these are done at 3 week intervals. The treatment will not make the pores disappear but subjectively the treatment is helpful.
