Dilated pores

What is it?

Tiny openings in the skin allow sweat, sebum and dead cells to escape, while pores allow the skin to “breathe”. When clogged, the pores dilate and are then more visible.

Did you know?

Dilated pores are also a matter of genetics: the health of our skin therefore depends in part on our heredity and even our ethnic origin!

What are the causes?

Caused by a lack of cell regeneration and too much sebum production, pore dilation can be influenced by three factors:

The use of inappropriate topical products

When products are applied to the skin, but do not meet its needs, it has difficulty balancing itself and breathing! An example of this would be using a moisturizer that is too oily for our skin type that leads to an increase in sebum production.

Skin aging

Over time, skin produces less collagen and skin cells regenerate less quickly. As a result, the skin structure changes and pores become more visible.

Bad lifestyle habits

External health starts from the inside. The effects of a sedentary and stressful lifestyle for both body and mind, such as a diet that is too high in fat or the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, become visible: skin loses its tone and its texture becomes more pronounced.

How to prevent?

An appropriate beauty routine

In order to better control sebum production, a gentle cleansing twice a day is recommended. Also, exfoliation and the application of weekly masks are good ways to refine the skin’s texture. Finally, offering the skin clinical care every 6 to 8 weeks, such as glycolic peeling or microdermabrasion for example, allows it to be thoroughly cleaned, tightens pores and stimulates collagen production. This makes it visibly healthier.

Healthy lifestyles

Eating well, minimizing alcohol and tobacco consumption, regular physical activity and taking care of your skin through an appropriate beauty routine are all part of achieving and maintaining healthy skin. The skin cells are better oxygenated and regenerate more quickly, collagen production is stimulated…the skin is noticeably smoother and softer!

How to treat?

Resurfacing lasers


Non-ablative resurfacing lasers such as Clear + Brilliant, Venus Viva or Fraxel stimulate the skin to regenerate naturally by creating subcutaneous micro-perforations. A new collagen and skin structure is formed to considerably reduce scars, stretch marks and pigment spots.

Glycolic peeling


Glycolic peeling is an exfoliating treatment that helps tighten pores and prevent acne flare-ups. Glycolic acid, which is a derivative of fruit acid, works on the surface to dissolve dead cells, but also acts on a deeper level to stimulate the natural production of collagen. The skin is smoother and more receptive to the products used.
