Enlarged Pores Treatment in Miami
While pore size is influenced by genetics, oil production, and aging, there are highly effective, science-backed ways to improve how your skin looks and feels.
At Miami Skin + Vein, Dr. Shaun Patel takes a precise, customized approach to pore refinement. Using a combination of advanced laser treatments, neuromodulator techniques (like Microtox), and medical-grade skincare, we help smooth and tighten the skin, reducing pore size without harsh downtime or unnecessary treatments.
Pores are small openings in the skin that allow oil and sweat to reach the surface. Everyone has them, but when they appear larger, it’s often due to:
While you can’t shrink your pores permanently, the right treatments can dramatically improve their visibility.
At Miami Skin + Vein, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Patel will evaluate your skin and recommend a personalized plan that may include one or more of the following:
This short-pulsed laser improves skin texture and clarity by stimulating collagen and reducing pigmentation, both of which can make pores appear smaller.
Often used for redness or rosacea, this device also calms inflammation and can help refine the skin’s surface in sensitive or reactive skin types.
Injected in tiny amounts just beneath the surface of the skin, Microtox can reduce oil production and tighten the skin around pores, improving their appearance without affecting facial movement.
Topical retinoids, antioxidants, and specific cleansers can regulate oil production and improve cell turnover. Based on your skin's needs, Dr. Patel may recommend a routine using Skinceuticals products or other advanced formulas.
Enlarged pores are most often treated on:
These areas are common sites for both oil production and environmental damage, making them key zones for pore refinement.
Most patients say their skin looks clearer, smoother, and more refined—even under close-up lighting. Makeup goes on more evenly, and skin texture improves.
Many also notice fewer breakouts or less congestion once oil flow is better managed. Pore refinement also supports other aesthetic goals. When texture is improved, treatments like fillers or lasers tend to look even better. It’s a foundational part of great skin health.
If you’ve noticed large or visible pores, if you also deal with oily skin, fine lines, or texture issues, there’s a strong chance you’re a good candidate.
Treatments are customized based on your skin’s tone, sensitivity, and response to past products or procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Patel will assess your skin and talk through realistic expectations, including which options will give you the best results with the least disruption to your routine.
Downtime depends on the treatment. Most laser sessions require minimal downtime—maybe a day or two of redness. Microtox has virtually no downtime at all.
Medical-grade skincare can cause a mild adjustment period (like dryness or flaking), but this is manageable and temporary. You’ll receive clear, simple aftercare instructions to make the process smooth and stress-free.
Results vary by treatment. Laser sessions like PicoWay offer gradual improvement over several weeks.
Microtox effects are usually noticeable within 5–7 days. Skincare changes take a bit longer but can have a lasting impact when used consistently. Most patients see the best results with a series of treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, and maintenance as needed.
Treatments are chosen because they work, not because they’re trendy or new.
Patients choose Miami Skin + Vein because:
You’ll feel confident in your plan, comfortable in your care, and supported every step of the way.
No. Pore size is determined by genetics and skin structure, but its appearance can be significantly improved with consistent treatment and good skincare.
Laser treatment is often a key part of the plan, but it's not always the only one. Depending on the skin, some patients benefit more from microtox or topical treatments.
Pores are natural openings, while acne scars are areas where skin has healed unevenly. We often treat both in the same patient, but with slightly different techniques.
Absolutely. Many male patients seek help for enlarged pores, especially around the nose and forehead. Our approach is gender-neutral and tailored to your specific goals.
It varies. Some patients do a few treatments per year, while others maintain results with skincare alone. Dr. Patel will help map out a plan based on your timeline and skin response.
