Thank you for your question. Punch excision is a surgical treatment used to cut out benign moles or may be used for cosmetic purposes such as acne scars. I would not recommend excision for large pores. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest and best treatment option. I hope this helps.
A punch excision isakin to a cookie cutter that we use every day in dermatology. With it, we can remove skin lesions orconcerns of various sizes, from 1 mm to many millimeters, depending on the sizeof the lesion we are dealing with. Pores, though can be tricky, and sometimes using this method can end upleaving small scars that may not look as good as the pores were before havingsomething like this done. We are allborn with pores and pore size, for the most part, is genetic. We cannot shrinkpores but with various treatments, including peels and fractional lasers, aswell as the microneedling RF devices (EndyMed Intensif), we can improve theappearance of one’s pores, with minimal risks of scarring, which we want toavoid at all costs. I would recommend making an appointment with a boardcertified dermatologist to see what the best options are for you.
