Good to know
You can’t “erase” pores—but we can dramatically shrink their appearance and prevent new congestion.
Why Do Pores Look Enlarged?
Everyone has pores, but some become more noticeable due to excess oil, sun exposure, and collagen decline. When pores stretch open to accommodate built-up sebum or dead skin, they can look larger—especially under bright light or in photos.
Common triggers include:
What we solve
Treatment Journey
Skin Scan + Analysis – VISIA® reveals pore size, oil levels, and buildup zones
Custom Plan – in-clinic + at-home steps to unclog, resurface, and rebuild firmness
Consistency Phase – sessions every 4–6 weeks to shrink pore visibility
Maintenance – monthly HydraFacial® or quarterly Moxi™ to prevent return of buildup
Results & Expectations
Refined skin texture in 1 – 2 weeks after HydraFacial® or peel
Visibly smaller-looking pores after 2 – 4 microneedling or Moxi™ sessions
Improved oil control and fewer breakouts with consistent skincare
Long-term support: collagen keeps pores tight and structure firm over time
You may not notice day-to-day shrinking—but you’ll absolutely see smoother skin in side-by-side photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you actually shrink pores?
We can’t eliminate pores, but we can reduce their appearance dramatically by tightening the skin and clearing blockages.
How long does it take to see results?
You’ll see smoother skin after your first facial. Deeper results from microneedling or laser show over 2 – 3 months as collagen builds.
Are treatments safe for all skin tones?
Yes. We adjust peel strength, laser energy, and microneedling depth for all complexions.
Will I need ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Pores can re-enlarge if oil and buildup return. Monthly facials and consistent skincare keep results going.
Do these treatments hurt?
Most are painless. Microneedling and Moxi™ use numbing cream and feel like light prickling or warmth.
What’s the investment?
HydraFacial® starts at $199. Microneedling and Moxi™ at $399. We build your plan based on pore size, skin type, and goals.
