Pore Reduction

 

Causes

Your genes are the greatest determining factor in your pore size. However, as we grow older, the skin loses its elasticity, causing the skin to stretch and sag, making the pores appear larger. Sun damage also contributes to the appearance of large pores as the damage thickens the skin – leading to larger pores.

  • Treatment: Exion RF Microneedling combines the power of traditional microneedling with radio-frequency (RF) energy. The microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and improve overall texture and tone.
  • Method: Microneedling with radio-frequency (RF)
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild redness or swelling may last for a few hours to a day
  • Frequency: 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results

Profhilo Structura

Unlike traditional HA fillers, Profhilo Structura stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, providing a long-lasting, natural lifting effect. Its unique composition helps support the skin’s structure by boosting hydration while gradually improving the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
  • Method: Injectable stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA) with a focus on structural skin rejuvenation
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild redness or swelling at injection sites may occur, typically resolving within a few hours
  • Frequency: 2-3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results

Sculptra

  • Targets: Volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin elasticity
  • Treatment: Sculptra is an injectable treatment that uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra gradually restores lost volume by encouraging the body’s natural collagen production over time, providing a more youthful, refreshed appearance. The treatment is ideal for addressing facial volume loss, improving skin texture, and restoring a natural, subtle lift.
  • Method: Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable treatment for collagen stimulation
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild swelling or redness at injection sites may occur, typically resolving within a few hours to a day

Microneedling

  • Targets: Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and skin laxity

When combined with a topical solution of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), AnteAge, and/or Exosomes, the treatment delivers powerful rejuvenating benefits. HA hydrates and plumps the skin, AnteAge promotes cellular repair, and Exosomes enhance tissue regeneration and healing. This combination provides a comprehensive approach to improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
  • Method: Microneedling with topical solution (HA, AnteAge, and/or Exosomes)
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild redness and swelling may last a few hours to a day

This injectable treatment provides immediate volume correction while also promoting long-term collagen regeneration for smoother, firmer skin. Radiesse is ideal for treating deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and areas of volume loss in the face, such as the cheeks and jawline.
  • Method: Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) injectable filler for volume restoration and collagen stimulation
  • Downtime: Minimal; mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection site, typically resolving within a few days
  • Frequency: Results can last up to 12-18 months, with maintenance sessions as needed

Thermage®
