Skin Concerns
Enlarged Pores & Oily Skin Treatment in Brickell, Miami
Pores look larger when they are stretched by oil and debris, when the collagen around them weakens with age and sun, and when skin is dehydrated and overproduces oil to compensate, a cycle Miami's humidity feeds. Pores cannot be closed, but they can be made noticeably less visible and shine can be controlled.

The Concern
Understanding enlarged pores & oily skin
- Causes: genetics and skin type, androgen-driven oil production, sun damage weakening pore walls, clogged follicles (sebaceous filaments, blackheads), over-cleansing and dehydration, heavy or occlusive products in humid weather.
- Where: nose, inner cheeks, chin, forehead ("T-zone").
- What helps most: consistent retinoid use, clearing congestion, refining the surface and rebuilding collagen around pores.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Pricing: Pricing confirmed at consultation
Pore size is largely genetic, but treatments can reduce how visible pores are by clearing them and firming surrounding skin.
Clearing sebaceous filaments (HydraFacial, salicylic peels) plus CoolPeel or Laser Genesis for refinement is a common combination.
Plans balance oil control with hydration; dehydrated skin often produces more oil, so moisturizer stays in the routine.
It is used cautiously with conservative settings and pre-treatment, or swapped for Laser Genesis, peels and Morpheus8. The provider decides.
Monthly HydraFacial or peels during the first 3–4 months, then every 6–8 weeks for maintenance works for many patients.
