Open Pores
The skin’s surface has microscopic holes called pores that let natural oils and air flow through. A sebaceous (oil) gland is found in each of these pores, which are linked to hair follicles and secrete sebum to keep the skin hydrated. However, in some cases, these pores can become noticeably enlarged—commonly referred to as open pores—giving the skin a rough and uneven texture.
At Sanjay Rithik Hospital, we specialize in providing safe and effective treatment solutions for open pores. Our dermatology experts understand that while pores are a natural part of the skin, enlarged pores can be frustrating and affect one’s confidence. That’s why we offer customized care to help you achieve smooth, healthy-looking skin.
What Causes Open Pores?
Several internal and external factors can lead to the appearance of enlarged or open pores:
Overproduction of Oil (Sebum)
People with oily or combination skin often experience enlarged pores due to excessive sebum production. When oil collects inside the pore, it stretches and expands over time, making the opening more visible.
Loss of Skin Elasticity
Our skin loses suppleness and collagen as we age.This natural aging process can cause the skin around the pores to sag, making them appear larger than they are.
Blocked or Clogged Pores
Accumulation of dirt, dead skin cells, makeup, and environmental pollutants can block the pores, causing them to stretch and become more prominent.
Genetics and Hormonal Changes
Your genetic makeup and hormonal fluctuations—especially during puberty or pregnancy—can influence oil production and pore size.
Effective Treatments for Open Pores
At Sanjay Rithik Hospital, we treat open pores with a thorough and individualized approach. Following a comprehensive evaluation of your skin type and condition, our doctors suggest the best course of action. Among the most successful therapies we provide are:
Chemical Peels
These exfoliating treatments help remove dead skin layers, reduce excess oil, and unclog pores. Regular peels can refine the skin's texture and visibly minimize pore size.
Microneedling
This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production and enhances skin elasticity, helping the skin tighten naturally around the pores and make them appear smaller.
