Laser treatments can effectively address many skin concerns, including the appearance of large pores. Let’s explore various laser treatments to help shrink pores on the face and give you smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Whether you have acne, oily skin or want to improve the texture and tone of your complexion, laser treatments may be the solution for your cosmetic concerns.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York is a world-class dermatology and plastic surgery center with advanced, fellowship-trained physicians. The facility has more than 100 lasers and devices to treat nearly every skin condition and help patients gain confidence in their appearance.

Clear + Brilliant: This fractional laser has two wavelength options to target fine lines, dull skin, and pigmentation concerns. It treats microscopic zones to replace damaged cells in the upper skin layers, producing healthy cells and smaller pores. It is ideal for men and women looking for minimal downtime and mild side effects, like redness and inflammation. Results are visible soon after treatment and improve as the skin heals for a brighter complexion and even tone.

LaseMD: Another fractional laser, LaseMD works on a cellular level to kickstart the skin’s natural healing and increase cell turnover. The non-ablative laser creates microchannels in the skin, spurring collagen production deep in the dermal with minimal discomfort. Your skin may look red after treatment for several days, but improvements develop quickly.

 

Pros and Cons of Using Lasers to Shrink Pores

Pros	Cons
Non-invasive Noticeable results with only a few treatments Ongoing collagen stimulation Minimal to no downtime Customizable treatments that can be tailored to your specific skin type and needs Potential long-lasting results with proper maintenance	Potential scarring or hyperpigmentation when performed by an inexperienced provider Possible infection if aftercare instructions aren’t followed May require multiple treatments

It is crucial to choose a board-certified dermatologist who can properly assess your skin type and determine the best course of treatment. It is also essential to follow all pre and post-treatment instructions carefully to minimize potential risks or poor results.

Laser Treatment for Specific Skin Types

Lasers are safe and effective treatments for all skin types. Describing your skin type and discussing specific concerns can help your dermatologist recommend the best laser for your needs. Skin type is important when determining treatment because patients with oily skin can be more prone to larger pores and can maintain results with regular laser sessions.
