Congested Pores

Because pores are tiny points that accommodate heavy traffic so that what’s inside can flow out, as necessary, they’re highly susceptible to congestion; especially when skin sebum is especially high viscosity (thick), or inflammation is present. Although pore size is influenced by genetics, compatible skincare, environment, stress management, and an inflammation-reducing diet support the clarity of pores by keeping excess build-up at bay, and sebum consistency moderate. Large pores may also develop due to ongoing congestion.

Who Can Experience Congested And Enlarged Pores?

Anyone can develop pore congestion, although clients prone to inflammation and/or excess oil production are more likely to develop congestion. They are also more likely to develop blackheads and whiteheads that result when pore congestion persists, raising the risk of enlarged pores.

What Are The Most Effective Treatments?

• We Recommend:
  • Complexion Rehab
  • Radiance + Refresh
  • Radiance Micropeel
  • Antioxidants: Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin, Astaxanthin
  • Regenerative Ingredients: Backuchiol, Vitamin A, E
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid and Tremella Mushroom
• The Benefits:
  • Complexion Rehab: An important starting point in the treatment of both Congestion + Enlarged Pores, in that it establishes a baseline of skin wellness. Creating a healthy foundation is our first priority because anything we build on that will be more stable and yield much better, longer-lasting results. In order to evacuate congestion, detoxification is required, as well as refining the outermost layer of skin build-up and reducing deeper inflammation. Because the laser wavelengths used during Complexion Rehab have such a wide range of treatment efficacy, it’s proven to be the most efficient option for addressing congestion, effectively.
  • Radiance + Refresh: In cases where progressed inflammation is a primary concern, as, in cases of inflamed acne, Radiance + Refresh is a gentle way to bridge the gap and clear congestion without aggravating inflammation. 
  • Ablative Services: Once congestion is resolved, and we gain a better idea of what condition pores are in, we can assess size and texture, and treat that with ablative services, like Radiance Micropeel to refine and smooth. 
  • Regenerative Ingredients: Antioxidants and active hydrators can aid in minimizing congestion: Hyaluronic Acid and Tremella Mushroom have been shown to be highly effective hydrators. Antioxidants and regenerative ingredients will enhance skin efficiency, detoxify, and promote an environment in which healthy cellular turnover can occur, shedding and regenerating skin so pores can breathe and flow.
