The Skiin Approach

Refining what your pores look like

Pore size is largely genetic — but visible, open pores are made worse by two things you can treat: excess oil that keeps them open, and skin quality that lets their walls relax. Fix those, and pores look dramatically refined.

So your doctor treats both sides at once. Prescription skincare regulates oil and keeps pores clear. Radiofrequency microneedling tightens pore walls, while SkinPen contracts pore size and improves smoothness. LaseMD Ultra resurfaces the skin to minimise visible pores.

Because a doctor builds the plan, the strength of each layer is matched to your skin — refining pores without drying or irritating the skin around them.

The Result

Smoother, more refined

  • Pores that look tighter and less visible
  • Oil production regulated, not stripped
  • Smoother skin texture and better light reflection
  • A routine that keeps results holding

In-clinic treatments refine texture for months — prescription skincare keeps oil and congestion controlled in between.

The plan

How pores get refined

01

Prescription skincare

Medical-grade actives to regulate oil and keep pores clear — the daily foundation of the plan.

02

Radiofrequency microneedling

Deep energy that tightens pore walls and refines skin texture over a course of sessions.

03

SkinPen microneedling

Collagen-remodelling needling that contracts pore size and improves smoothness.

04

LaseMD Ultra laser resurfacing

Gentle resurfacing that smooths the skin surface to minimise visible pores.

The Journey

02

Weeks 1–8

Control

Prescription skincare starts regulating oil while in-clinic treatments begin tightening and resurfacing.

03

Months 2–3

Refinement

Pore walls tighten and texture smooths as collagen remodels between sessions.

04

Ongoing

Maintain

A maintenance plan of skincare and review keeps pores refined for the long term.

FAQs

Enlarged pores questions

Pore size is largely set by your genetics — but visible pores can be significantly refined. Tightening the pore walls, regulating oil production and resurfacing the skin all make pores look smaller and the skin smoother, and your doctor combines these based on your skin.

There's rarely one answer. Prescription skincare regulates oil and keeps pores clear day to day; radiofrequency microneedling tightens pore walls; SkinPen contracts pore size and improves smoothness; LaseMD Ultra resurfaces to minimise visible pores. Your doctor layers them into one plan.

Visible pores usually come down to oil production and skin quality — oily skin keeps pores open and prominent, and as skin loses firmness the walls relax. Treating both the oil and the skin quality is what works.

In-clinic treatments are well tolerated, and prescription skincare simply becomes part of your routine. Your doctor will talk you through what each treatment feels like at your consultation.

In-clinic treatments refine texture for months, while prescription skincare keeps oil and congestion under control between sessions. Maintenance is planned with your doctor so results hold rather than drift back.

No — the goal is balance. Actives regulate oil and keep pores clear; they don't strip the skin. And because a doctor prescribes them, the strength and routine are matched to your skin.

Cost depends on the combination your doctor prescribes — skincare, in-clinic treatments or both. Everything is discussed transparently at consultation before you commit to anything.
