Treatment for enlarged pores and oily skin
Pores look larger when they're full of oil and debris, or when skin loses firmness around them. Oily skin and congestion make them more noticeable.

How we treat it
Carbon laser peels reduce oil and tighten the look of pores straight away. Micro-Needling and laser rejuvenation firm the skin around pores over time. Microdermabrasion and extractions keep them clear.
