Enlarged openings due to excessive oil production, skin sagging, clothes pores, or sun damage are some of the common factors that lead to pore enlargement. Though there is no permanent fix to totally shrink them but there are some treatments that minimize the appearance, like microneedling. Small pores are easy to get rid of, but when it comes to large pores, people wonder: Does microneedling reduce large pores? To know how to get rid of large pores, read this blog below.
Does Microneedling Reduce Large Pores?
Yes, it does. Micro-skin puncturing using fine needles that pierce the skin forms micro-injuries on the skin surface in microneedling in Islamabad. This increases the body to produce its natural collagen and elastin production in response to the injuries so that they can be healed. With time, the new collagen and elastin synthesized on the skin increase the elasticity and smoothness of the skin, reducing the appearance of large pores.
But in case you have excessively large pores, doctors at Enfield Royal Clinic in Islamabad may suggest you have a combination treatment that is microoneedling+PRP in Islamabad for maximum efficiency.
How PRP Enhances Microneedling Results for Large Pores
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is based on your own blood and expands the collagen production capacity by utilizing growth factors to improve the healing of the skin and accelerate it. It results in tightening of the pores when used with microneedling, faster improvement to the skin texture, and also provides more lasting and smoother results than microneedling.
Microneedling With PRP vs Microneedling Alone
Microneedling Alone | Microneedling With PRP |
Gradual improvement as collagen builds | Faster and more visible pore tightening |
Normal healing cycle | Quicker recovery due to growth factors |
Moderate boost | Stronger and deeper collagen stimulation |
Good, but may need more sessions | Longer-lasting and more refined results |
Mild to moderate texture issues | Large pores, acne scars, and dull skin |
Mild redness for 1–2 days | Reduced redness and quicker settling |
Subtle refinement | More dramatic smoothness and pore reduction |
Key Benefits of Microneedling With PRP for Enlarged Pores
- Reduce the appearance of pores through collagen and elastin formation
- Balance out the oil production on the skin
- Makes products get better absorbed into the skin
- Quick recovery and downtime
- Smooth skin without any risks
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Noticeable Improvement?
In case of enlarged pores, 3 to 6 sessions separated by 4 to 6 weeks may be necessary. You will achieve some results in the first sessions, but to do a total change, you must take a full course of treatment because you will have smoother skin.
When You Can Expect to See Smaller, Refined Pores
It takes almost a week or 10 days for initial results to show, but in the case of enlarged pores, your skin might take around 4 to 6 weeks for complete recovery and visible changes.
