Microneedling for Open Pores: Realistic Results

Pore size is genetic. What changes with microneedling is the collagen support around each pore, which reduces how visible the pore looks.

How many sessions

3–4 sessions at 4-week intervals for visible tightening on cheeks and nose.

Combine with

Salicylic acid at home to keep pores clear. Retinoid to boost collagen turnover.

What won't work

Any product claiming to 'shrink' pores permanently. That isn't how skin biology works.
