Understanding Large Pores
Pores are essential openings for sebum and sweat, but their visibility can be influenced by several factors:
- Genetics: Your inherited DNA is the primary determinant of your natural pore size.
- Sebum Production: Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess oil, which can pool in the pore and expand its diameter.
- Pore Congestion: A buildup of sebum, dead skin cells (keratinocytes), and debris forms a blockage. This plug, known as a comedone, physically stretches the pore, making it appear larger.
- Loss of Elasticity: Ageing and sun damage degrade the skin’s collagen and elastin matrix. This loss of structural support causes the skin around the pore to slacken, widening its appearance.
It is a clinical fact that you cannot permanently change a pore’s genetic size. However, effective treatments focus on clearing congestion and rebuilding dermal integrity to significantly reduce their visibility.
How we at Shumaila’s can treat this
Our clinical approach begins with a detailed skin analysis to identify the primary cause of your enlarged pores. We then develop a treatment protocol using medical-grade technologies that provide structural and functional improvements to the skin, offering results that are not achievable with topical products alone.

Non Surgical
First-Line Professional Treatments
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial technology addresses clogged pores through a process of hydro-dermabrasion. Its patented vortex-fusion system uses a specialized spiral tip to create a vortex effect, which effectively dislodges and vacuums impurities from the pore wall while simultaneously infusing the skin with clarifying and hydrating serums.
Ideal for
Addressing pore congestion, removing comedones (blackheads), and improving skin clarity
Results
An immediate improvement in skin cleanliness and hydration, with visibly clearer pores
Management
A maintenance treatment every 4-6 weeks is recommended to prevent the re-accumulation of debris
RF Microneedling
This modality is highly effective for reducing the appearance of pores by improving the skin’s structural integrity. The treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the dermis with fine needles, while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual action induces a wound-healing response and thermal coagulation, stimulating significant new collagen and elastin production (collagenesis). The new dermal tissue tightens and firms the skin around the pore, effectively reducing its visible diameter.
Ideal for
Patients seeking a significant and lasting reduction in the appearance of enlarged pores due to skin laxity
Results
Visible improvement in pore size and skin texture within weeks, with cumulative results over a course of 3-4 treatments
Management
Minimal downtime, typically limited to mild erythema (redness) for 24 hours
Progressive Treatments
Advanced & Combination
Morpheus8
As a more advanced form of RF microneedling, Morpheus8 delivers energy to a greater depth, allowing for subdermal adipose remodelling. This provides a superior collagen-stimulating effect, making it exceptionally effective for tightening lax skin and minimizing the appearance of even the most stubborn large pores.
Ideal for
Significant skin laxity and enlarged pores requiring intensive resurfacing and tightening
Results
A dramatic, long-lasting improvement in skin firmness and pore appearance
Management
This intensive treatment requires a social downtime of a few days for the skin to heal
Polynucleotide Treatment
This innovative injectable treatment works on a cellular level as a bio-revitalisation agent. Polynucleotides are DNA fragments that signal the body to regenerate skin tissue. They stimulate fibroblast activity, leading to the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This process improves skin quality, elasticity, and hydration, strengthening the skin structure around the pores to help tighten and reduce their appearance.
Ideal for
Improving overall skin health, elasticity, and reducing pore appearance through cellular regeneration
Results
Healthier, firmer, and more resilient skin with refined texture over a course of treatments
Management
No downtime is required, making it an easy addition to any skin rejuvenation plan

Frequent Asked Questions
The cost varies depending on the technology used. A Hydrafacial for deep cleaning will have a different price than a course of Morpheus8 for intensive collagen remodelling. We provide a clear price list during your consultation to match a solution to your goals and budget.
While you cannot change the genetic size of your pores, you can make them appear much smaller. By keeping them clean and strengthening the surrounding collagen and elastin fibres, our treatments can significantly tighten and refine the appearance of open pores.
For clogged pores, a Hydrafacial is the best starting point. For a lasting reduction in appearance, RF Microneedling and Morpheus8 are the gold standard because they stimulate collagen production to tighten the pore walls. The best treatment for you will be determined during your consultation.
Regular professional treatments like the Hydrafacial are key. In addition, a good homecare routine with ingredients like salicylic acid and retinoids can help prevent the buildup of oil and dead skin cells that leads to clogged pores.
Downtime is minimal for most options. A Hydrafacial has none. RF Microneedling may cause redness for about a day. Morpheus8, being more intensive, may require 2-3 days of social downtime. We will discuss all aftercare with you in detail.
