7 Treatments to Shrink Enlarged Pores on the Face

Enlarged pores are one of those skin concerns almost everyone has Googled at some point. They can make skin look uneven, textured and shiny, especially around the nose, cheeks and forehead. While pores are completely normal and essential for healthy skin, they can appear larger due to excess oil, congestion, sun damage and loss of collagen.

The good news is that there are professional treatments that can visibly refine and smooth the appearance of enlarged pores. At Ria London, we offer advanced skin treatments across our salons in Dalston, Walthamstow and Gloucester Road to help you achieve clearer, more refined skin.

Here are seven of the most effective treatments to help shrink enlarged pores and improve overall skin texture.

1. Laser Skin Treatments

Laser skin treatments are one of the most effective solutions for enlarged pores. By stimulating collagen production deep within the skin, laser energy helps tighten and firm the surrounding tissue. As collagen levels increase, pores appear smaller and skin looks smoother and more even.

Laser treatments also help reduce oil production and improve overall tone, making them ideal for clients who struggle with both enlarged pores and acne-prone skin.

2. Microneedling

Microneedling is a collagen-boosting treatment that works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response and increases collagen and elastin production.

As the skin rebuilds itself, texture improves and enlarged pores become less visible. Microneedling is especially effective for clients with acne scarring, uneven texture and early signs of ageing.

3. HydraFacial

If congestion is making your pores look larger, HydraFacial is a game-changer. This treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates and extracts impurities while infusing the skin with hydrating serums.

By removing debris and excess oil from within the pores, skin instantly looks clearer, fresher and more refined. Regular HydraFacial treatments can help maintain pore clarity and prevent build-up.

4. Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells, helping to smooth rough texture and improve skin tone. When dead skin and oil accumulate, pores can appear larger. Removing that build-up allows skin to reflect light more evenly, creating a smoother finish.

It is an excellent maintenance treatment for clients who want brighter, more polished skin.

5. Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin. While it does not physically shrink pores, it significantly improves the appearance of texture and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

Many clients notice their skin looks instantly smoother and more refined after treatment.

6. LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy supports overall skin health and can help regulate oil production. Blue light is particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin, as it targets bacteria that contribute to breakouts and congestion.

When oil production is balanced, pores often appear less prominent over time.

7. Medical-Grade Skincare and Vitamin Support

Professional treatments work best when paired with the right skincare. Products containing retinol, niacinamide and exfoliating acids can help regulate oil, support collagen production and improve skin texture.

In some cases, vitamin injections such as Vitamin C may support collagen production and overall skin health from within, enhancing your results.

What Causes Enlarged Pores?

Pore size is largely determined by genetics, but several factors can make them appear larger. Excess oil production stretches the pore opening. Sun damage breaks down collagen and elastin, reducing skin firmness. Ageing also plays a role, as skin loses structure and support over time.

The key to minimising enlarged pores is improving skin quality, boosting collagen and keeping pores clear.
