Reasons Pores Become Enlarged and

Management Methods, Including Pore Lasers!

Hello, this is Jamsil Gounsesang Dermatology.

“Your skin texture looks rough.”

“My makeup doesn’t go on well.”

Among people who say things like this, there are many who are worried about pore problems.

Today, to help ease those concerns, we’ve organized the information you need for pore care.

Why do pores become enlarged?

One of the factors people pay the most attention to when trying to make skin texture smooth is pores. When pores become enlarged, the skin can look rough and dull, which worries many people. What causes pores to become enlarged?

5 major causes of enlarged pores

1. Excess sebum production

When the sebaceous glands become overactive, sebum is secreted through the pores, which can cause the pores to expand.

This is especially common in oily skin.

2. Skin aging

As we age, collagen and elastin decrease, reducing the skin’s elasticity, which makes the pore openings look stretched.

3. Improper cleansing habits

If makeup or impurities are not fully removed, they accumulate in the pores, causing blackheads, whiteheads, and over time, pores may enlarge.

4. UV exposure

UV rays are a major cause of loss of skin elasticity. Repeated UV exposure accelerates skin aging, causing pores to lose elasticity and enlarge.

5. Genetic factors

If there is a family history, it can affect pore size or sebum production.

Lifestyle pore care methods you can practice

✅ Build a low-irritation cleansing routine

Excessive cleansing or scrubbing can instead stimulate sebum production.

Use gentle, mild cleansing to remove impurities.

✅ Balance oil and moisture

If you neglect moisturizing just because you have a lot of sebum, your skin may produce even more oil.

Well-hydrated skin also helps stabilize sebum production.

✅ Use sunscreen consistently

Applying a sunscreen with an appropriate SPF before going out helps protect the skin from UV rays and can help prevent pore enlargement.

✅ Avoid excessive squeezing

Forcefully squeezing sebum with your hands or irritating the skin can lead to inflammation and may actually make pores larger.

✅ Regular exfoliation care

Light exfoliation that helps match the skin’s turnover cycle can assist in removing sebum and impurities from within the pores.

Pore care through pore lasers

A pore laser is one of the dermatological procedures that uses heat stimulation on the skin to induce collagen regeneration in the dermis, and can help improve skin texture and increase elasticity.

One of the representative causes of enlarged pores is reduced skin elasticity. The pore laser delivers heat stimulation to the dermis, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and its purpose is to help the skin become denser and firmer over time.

There are several types of pore lasers, and whether they are suitable and what results they produce may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate method after a consultation with a dermatologist.

Everyone has probably worried at least once about the pores they see in the mirror. What matters is knowing your skin condition accurately before it is too late, and building the habit of caring for it consistently without overdoing it.

Based on consistent lifestyle habits and expert advice, please take care of healthy, firm skin. Thank you :)
