What Are Large Pores?
Large pores can be frustrating for many, making the skin appear uneven and affecting overall complexion clarity. At Advanced Aesthetics, we understand how the visibility of pores can impact your confidence and skin's appearance.
But what causes large pores? Primarily, they result from a combination of factors, including genetics, oil production, age, and environmental damage.
Over time, excess oil and debris can accumulate, stretching the pore. Additionally, our skin loses elasticity as we age, making pores appear larger.
Symptoms of Large Pores
Symptoms of large pores are mostly visible to the naked eye, presenting as enlarged openings on the skin's surface, particularly noticeable in areas like the nose, forehead, and cheeks. While completely erasing pores is impossible (they're essential to your skin's health!), reducing their appearance is achievable.
What Treatments Are Offered for Large Pores?
At Advanced Aesthetics, we're committed to giving you the most effective, cutting-edge treatments for large pores. We understand that navigating the world of aesthetic treatments can be overwhelming, so we've curated a selection of procedures known for their efficacy and minimal downtime.
Here are your options at our Oklahoma City office to get smoother, more refined skin:
Hydrafacial
The Hydrafacial treatment is a fan favorite for a reason. This non-invasive procedure delivers instant results with no downtime. It deeply cleanses, extracts, and hydrates the skin using a series of patented technology steps.
The process helps to remove debris from pores, reducing their appearance and leaves your skin with an immediate glow. It's perfect if you’re looking for a quick, effective treatment with no side effects.
SkinPen
SkinPen is a leading microneedling device that encourages the skin to rejuvenate itself.
Creating microscopic punctures in the skin's surface stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which can help tighten and smooth the skin's texture, making large pores less visible. It's an ideal choice for long-term improvements with minimal downtime.
Clear + Brilliant Touch
Clear + Brilliant Touch uses advanced laser technology to gently resurface the skin, targeting the outer layer to reveal the smoother, more radiant skin beneath.
This treatment is designed to improve skin texture and pore appearance, making it a great option for individuals looking to enhance their skin's overall quality. With its precision and effectiveness, Clear + Brilliant Touch is a sought-after solution to get a youthful glow.

Regenerative Treatment
Regenerative treatments such as Platelet Rich Plasma—often known as PRP therapy—utilizes your body's natural healing abilities to improve skin texture and pore size. By applying a concentration of your own platelets and plasma onto your skin or injecting it directly, this innovative treatment accelerates cellular repair and collagen production.
Regenerative treatments such as PRP or Exosomes are particularly effective when combined with other treatments like the SkinPen, offering a holistic approach to skin revitalization.
What Is the Treatment Time for Reducing Large Pores?
At Advanced Aesthetics, we know that understanding the journey to visibly reduce pores can help set realistic expectations and prepare you for a transformative experience.
Here’s what you can expect in terms of treatment timelines for large pores:
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial delivers results in as little as 30 minutes for immediate radiance and pore refinement with no downtime. Many clients see noticeable improvements after just one session, making this an excellent choice for quick results.
SkinPen
While some clients notice improvements after one treatment, optimal results typically emerge after a series of three to six sessions spaced about a month apart.
The gradual improvement in skin texture and pore appearance becomes clear over several weeks as the skin produces more collagen and elastin.
Clear + Brilliant Touch
This gentle laser treatment involves a series of sessions, usually four to six, spaced a month apart. Clients often report seeing visible skin texture and pore size improvements after a couple of sessions, with results progressively enhancing with each treatment.
Regenerative Treatment With PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) or Exosomes
When combined with microneedling, regenerative treatments can accelerate results, improving skin texture and reducing pore size more effectively. The timeline is similar to SkinPen's, with the full rejuvenating effects becoming more pronounced after several treatments.

Navigating the investment in your skin's health and beauty should be as clear and straightforward as your path to improved skin texture and reduced pore size.

At Advanced Aesthetics, your safety and satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the importance of transparency, especially regarding the potential side effects of any treatments.
While our non-invasive treatments are designed with your comfort and well-being in mind, it's normal to have questions about the side effects associated with any aesthetic treatments.
Typically, you may experience slight swelling and redness — similar to a mild sunburn — from a few hours to a few days, depending on your treatment.
Who Are Candidates for Large Pore Treatments?
When addressing large pores, we often encounter individuals who, despite their best efforts with over-the-counter products and at-home remedies, find these pores persistently standing in the way of their dream complexion.
You might be an excellent candidate for our professional, pore-minimizing treatments if you:
- Notice visible pores that detract from the smoothness and uniformity of your skin's appearance, particularly if they're prominent on areas like the nose, cheeks, or forehead.
- Have tried conventional methods such as cleansers, toners, and masks but haven't seen the reduction in pore size you're hoping for.
- Are seeking a more permanent solution to reduce the appearance of pores and improve overall skin texture.
- Have generally healthy skin without active infections, severe acne, or other dermatological conditions that might affect treatment suitability.
- Are looking for non-invasive to minimally invasive options with manageable downtime and proven results.
