What makes pores look more visible: oil, thickened skin, marks or loss of surface quality
Enlarged pores are a common concern because they change skin texture and can make the face look more uneven, shiny, thickened or visibly marked. The approach changes depending on whether oil production, fine acne scarring, sun damage or overall surface quality predominates.
Treatments for Enlarged Pores
Before and After
The Q-Switch laser can visibly improve skin texture and the appearance of enlarged pores, particularly when they are associated with thickened skin, uneven tone or a history of pigmentation and excess oil.
It does not literally “close” pores, but it can make them look less pronounced by improving the quality and surface of the skin.

Why do pores look larger?
- Excess oil: Oilier skin tends to make pores look more visible.
- Uneven texture: When the skin surface is not uniform, pores tend to stand out more.
- History of acne: Previous inflammation can leave pores and small textural irregularities more noticeable.
- Loss of firmness: Over time, reduced skin support can make pores appear more prominent.
What results can be expected?
Results depend on skin type, pore size, oil production and the treatment selected. In general, the goal is a progressive improvement in texture, a more even surface and a visual reduction in prominent pores.
Treatments such as Q-Switch laser, Erbium laser or radiofrequency may be part of a personalized plan depending on the case.
