Minimize Large Pores with the VitalLife Dermatologist in Bangkok
Large pores are a cosmetic issue for many individuals. Adults and adolescents prone to acne have open pores that can become clogged, making them appear larger. As skin ages, it contains less collagen, so the pores look larger and more open. You can deep clean and treat your pores in several ways to give them the appearance of being smaller or closed. If at-home skin care has not worked for you, it could be time to see our expert dermatologist in Bangkok.
VitalLife is here to help minimize the look of unwanted large pores with our Bangkok dermatologist. We will help you discover the right treatment for you to help you feel beautiful in your skin.
Causes of Large Pores
There are several factors that can cause the appearance of large pores. They include:
Thick Hair Follicles
Our skin is the largest organ on the body, containing millions of pores. All of them are open and contain a hair follicle. When the pore at the end of the hair follicle becomes clogged, the volume of the follicle increases. Therefore, it makes your pores appear larger.
Genetics
Pore size is determined by your genetics. Depending on your parent's pore size, you could end up with larger- or smaller-looking pores. Unfortunately, you cannot change your genetics.
Reduction of Collagen
As we age, our production of collagen in our skin decreases. This causes the skin to be less supple and pores to appear much larger. To increase the production of collagen, talk to your VitalLife Bangkok dermatologist about using Thermage. Thermage stimulates the formation of collagen through radiofrequency.
Reduced Elasticity
You also lose elasticity in your skin with age. When there is decreased elasticity around your pores, it causes your skin to stretch and sag, so they look larger. Luckily, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be used to increase elasticity in skin. You can get a PRP treatment at your VitalLife dermatologist in Bangkok.
High Levels of Sebum Production
Sebaceous glands appear most in the pores on your face, chest, and back. When a sebaceous gland produces too much oil (sebum), the sebum rises to the top of the skin and collects in the pores. Then if the sebum combines with dirt or makeup, it can become blocked. This causes the pore to stretch and make it look larger than it is.
Facials and peels are great ways to deep clean pores and remove blackheads. Your Bangkok dermatologist at VitalLife can help you choose the right one for you.
Sun Damage
If your skin is overexposed to the sun, it can make pores appear larger. Prolonged exposure to the sun can also remove collagen and water from your skin. This causes the tissue beneath your skin to shrink and pull on your pores, making them look bigger than they are.
To prevent sun damage, you should keep your skin protected by wearing sunscreen every day.
