What Are Open Pores?
The term ‘open pores’ refers to enlarged skin pores that have become more noticeable over time. The pores on the skin allow it to ‘breathe’ by releasing the sebum or natural oil onto the surface. However, large skin pores often appear in areas that have a higher density of sebaceous glands specifically, in the ‘t-zone’ of the face. They adversely affect the skin texture and become an aesthetic concern for both men and women with oily or combination skin types.
What Causes Large Open Pores?

• Heredity Factor
• Ageing And Sun Exposure
• Chronic Acne
• Hormonal Changes
• Acute Skin Conditions And Nutritional Deficiency

They use Q-Switched YAG laser to boost the collagen production in the skin and minimize the appearance of open pores effectively. A 2011 study revealed that Q-switched lasers visibly reduce open pores when used along with photo-activated topical solutions.
