Treatments for Enlarged Pores
How are sebaceous glands part of the pore problem?
Our skin’s sebaceous glands produce sebum, an oily substance your body creates to keep your skin from drying out. If your sebaceous gland produces an overabundance of sebum, it can cause the pore to become enlarged to allow the sebum to reach the skin’s surface.
There is also a natural structure the sebaceous glands use to get the sebum to the skin surface: the sebaceous filament. When this gets enlarged, its dark color can be confused for a blackhead. We have treatments to address enlarged pores, and we can instruct on proper personal care and medical-grade skincare products to help with the appearance of sebaceous filaments.
How does LED light therapy work for enlarged pores?
At Younique Surgery Center and Med Spa, we use the LightStim LED system both as a localized treatment and as a full-body treatment when the LightStim LED bed is utilized. LightStim has been shown to be highly effective for the reduction of wrinkles in many patients who are seeking rejuvenation. It can help firm and tone skin, reduce large pores, smooth skin texture overall, improve skin elasticity, and help a person recover their youthful glow.
Will my acne outbreak stop me from getting treatments for shrinking pores?
No, your acne outbreak doesn’t stop you from benefitting from the best treatments for shrinking pores in Los Angeles. Though some treatments cannot be performed during an outbreak, we have other treatment options that allow you not only to reduce the pore size but to also combat the acne itself! That’s a win-win for your skin health.
