LARGE PORES

Find out more about large pores and what 1192 can do for yours.

What are large pores?

Pores are small openings attached to the top of hair follicles. They release sebum, our body’s natural oil, in order to naturally moisturise our skin and also release sweat.

What causes large pores?

Pores can appear enlarged due to many different factors such as:

  • Genetics (biggest determining factor for pore size)

  • Age (losing elasticity of your skin as you age causes it to sag and stretch, giving pores a larger appearance)

  • Sun damage (this can thicken the skin or remove collagen and elastin from the skin giving the pores a larger appearance)

  • Clogged pores (excess oil and dead skin gathered in your pores can give them a larger appearance)

How Laser Genesis works

Micro-pulses of laser energy are gently delivered to the skin. The laser stimulates the body’s own processes to activate collagen remodelling to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and unwanted brown spots. In addition, Laser Genesis addresses facial redness by targeting the excess micro vessels. Although the individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of a treatment series can be quite dramatic.

The Dermapen™ works by puncturing the skin with 11 micro-needles through a spring-loaded automated function. This stimulates healthy collagen production and encourages the skin to repair and regrow through normal physiological processes. You may experience slight discomfort during the treatment, but you can receive a numbing cream beforehand to reduce this. After the treatment, erythema (redness) of the skin can appear for a few hours up to a day. This will usually heal quickly.
