How many of us have not looked into that magnifying mirror and felt our pores looked “huge”? Pores can appear enlarged, even when they’re not, but what can you do if they ARE overly large?
Enlarged pores are not harmful, but they can be unsightly and bothersome. They are often caused by a loss of collagen and elastin, causing your skin to look dull and uneven. Other causes include excessive sebum production and pores that are clogged because of hardened sebum that gets “stuck”.
Dr. Fitzgerald’s dermatology team offers microneedling, one of the most effective and long-lasting treatments used to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. The non-surgical process creates micro-injuries on targeted areas to trigger your skin’s natural wound healing response. This creates new collagen and elastin, creating the appearance of tighter skin and smaller pores. (Did the pores actually change in size? No, but by creating tighter skin, pores can return to their more confined normal space!)
Microneedling typically requires a series of treatments over three to six months to achieve the best results. During your initial consultation with Dr. Fitzgerald, she will assess your skin’s condition and explain all of your treatment options.

Once “micro-channels” are created in the skin, the benefit of support products can be overly emphasized. Your own plasma is used in the PRP treatment and it’s frequently combined with microneedling.
