3 Cutis Treatments that Can Tighten Pores and Improve Skin Texture

Apart from making your skin look bumpy or uneven, enlarged pores can also make lines and wrinkles prominent, giving you an aging or tired-looking appearance. Large pores, furthermore, are associated with increased sebum production, which can then make the skin appear shiny or greasy and increase your risk of breakouts. 

If prominent pores, uneven skin texture, and related symptoms bother you, we can help. At Cutis, we have several treatments that can help reduce the appearance of enlarged  pores, tighten skin, and restore tone and texture. Here are three procedures worth considering: 

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Using a US FDA-cleared device, laser skin rejuvenation stimulates the skin’s natural processes to promote a vibrant, healthy-looking complexion. It uses micro-pulses of laser energy that gently heat the upper dermis well below the skin surface. This stimulates collagen regrowth and generates additional heat in dilated capillaries.

Laser skin rejuvenation also stimulates the development of new skin cells to restore the skin’s health, clarity, and youthfulness. It can rejuvenate and diminish minor imperfections for a photo-ready complexion. Benefits include: 

• Reduces the look of enlarged pores
• Improves acne and acne scarring
• Helps reverse sun damage
• Reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles
• Restores skin tone and texture

Good to know: You can see initial improvements after one to two sessions, but significant results appear within three months. This is because new collagen growth takes a few months to develop. The results can last between six to 12 months or longer with touch-up treatments. 

Meso-Tox

This treatment combines Dermapen 4 microneedling and intradermal botulinum toxin mixed with formulated serums. Skin needling is done first creating fine fractional channels and micro-injuries to the skin. The micro doses of neurotoxin and serum are used as a glide and are infused into the skin’s top layer. 

With Meso-Tox, botulinum toxin is not injected deeper into the muscles. The treatment is shallow or done at an intradermal level, which means it won’t limit or control your facial expressions. The result is a refreshed and shine-free appearance, with a pore-tightening effect and a glass-like glowing complexion. Benefits include:

• Reduces sebum or oil production
• Improves wrinkle appearance
• Reduces pore size
• Helps tighten the skin 
• Improves skin redness or flushing

Good to know: There is no need to worry about looking plastic or frozen, as small doses are used and the injectable is delivered at an intradermal level. Meso-Tox is also suitable for patients of all skin types and complexions. The results last between two and four months; repeat treatments can help maintain the effects.

Bio-Remodeling 

Containing 100% pure hyaluronic acid, bio-remodeling hydrates the skin and improves laxity. It is also called a “beneath the skin injectable moisturizer” as it deeply hydrates and remodels the skin, giving it a dewy complexion. And as it can make the skin intensely moisturized, it can also improve dull and tired skin.

What this injectable does is slowly release hyaluronic acid (staying in the skin for about 28 days), which then allows bio-remodeling of the skin. It stimulates four types of collagen, elastin, and proliferate adipocytes (fat) stem cells, providing firming, lifting, and hydration of the skin. Benefits include: 

• Boosts skin hydration
• Improves fine lines and wrinkles
• Stimulates tissue repair (ideal for acne scarring)
• Improves overall skin quality

Good to know: Bio-remodeling uses the BAP (bio-aesthetic points) technique, focusing only on five injection points on each side of the face. This minimizes discomfort and the number of sessions needed, while delivering a natural and lasting refreshed appearance. Results last for six months, but can still vary from patient to patient.
