Minimise The Appearance Of Open And Large Pores
Enlarged pores manifest as discernible openings on the skin’s surface, presenting a size larger than typical, often reminiscent of diminutive craters or pits. This can result in an uneven or bumpy texture when observed closely.
Enlarged pores could occur due to a variety of factors. Below are some of the common causes:
Prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage to the skin, resulting in the loss of collagen and elastin fibres, causing enlarged pores.
Hair follicles and pores are closely related structures in the skin. Each hair follicle has a corresponding pore, which is the opening through where the hair shaft emerges from the skin’s surface. The size of hair follicles can influence the appearance of pores.
As people age, the skin loses elasticity, and the collagen and elastin fibres that support the skin break down. This natural ageing process can result in enlarged pores. Pores may become more noticeable as the skin’s texture changes.
Excessive oil production in the sebaceous glands can cause the accumulation of oil, dirt, and bacteria inside the pores, causing it to appear enlarged.
Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to having larger pores. If your family members have naturally larger pores, you may be more likely to have them as well, even without other contributing factors.
At Glowwis, our curated treatments are designed to prioritise the restructuring of the skin, resulting in a more tightened and refined complexion. These treatments aim to eliminate any blockages that could be contributing to enlarged pores.
A non-surgical, non-invasive solution for various skin concerns, including enlarged pores. Pico Laser works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) to specific areas of the skin. The rapid and precise energy pulses of Pico Laser can encourage the turnover of skin cells, leading to improvement in skin texture. The treatment also aids in stimulating collagen production to repair and restructure the skin.
Q Switch Laser produces short pulses of high-energy light that help to target specific pigments in the skin, making them effective for various dermatological concerns. While it’s mainly for treating pigmentation issues, it aids in improving uneven pigmentation and skin texture, which contributes to a smoother complexion.
Gold Plated Micro Needle RF (Radiofrequency) provides a non-surgical approach to treat enlarged pores with the use of micro-needling and radiofrequency energy. The use of micro-needles in the treatment helps to create tiny, micro-holes in the skin’s surface. Next, the radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin through the micro-needles which aids in stimulating the skin’s healing response. This aids in the production of collagen and elastin fibres, which are crucial in treating enlarged pores.
Collagen skin boosters provide an effective solution for regenerating the skin’s fibres, which tend to deplete over time. At Glowwis, our range of collagen skin boosters is suitable to address your pore concerns as it assists in repairing damaged skin cells and stimulates collagen production, which helps your skin achieve a smooth appearance.
By providing the skin with sufficient hydration, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) aids in smoothening the skin’s texture. When applied topically or injected as a skin booster, it can help plump up the skin and fill in fine lines and wrinkles. This plumping effect can make pores appear smaller and less noticeable. Well-hydrated skin tends to be smoother and more supple, reducing the appearance of unevenness associated with enlarged pores.
Mesobotox injections can have a smoothing effect on the skin. While traditional Botox treatments are aimed at relaxing muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Mesobotox is used in a more diluted form and is injected superficially. This can result in a subtle relaxation of the tiny muscles in the skin, leading to a smoother complexion and potentially making pores less noticeable.
Glowwis has a range of medical-grade facials and Dr. Sam will advise the most suitable medi-facial that helps in refining the skin’s texture. These facials provide gentle exfoliation using alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to remove blackheads and whiteheads and clear clogged pores.

Addressing enlarged pores presents a challenge, yet it is a task that can be effectively navigated. The process entails a combination of diligent skincare practices and, in certain instances, expert professional interventions. Dr. Sam advises a set of effective strategies and approaches aimed at minimising the appearance of enlarged pores:
Build a skincare routine that is simple yet effective. Focus on ingredients that effectively target the enlarged pores such as Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid (BHA), Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), and topical retinoids. Adding sun protection to your skincare is important to prevent damage from UV rays.
Different topical and oral treatments like topical and oral retinoids used in both dermatology and aesthetic procedures work to decrease sebum production. However, dryness and irritation can be common side effects.
A professional can provide personalised recommendations and may suggest prescription-strength treatments, like topical retinoids or other medications, based on your specific skin type and concerns.
With the aim to make Glowwis the most reliable aesthetic brand in Singapore, Dr. Sam Pradeep, the Medical Director of Glowwis Aesthetic & Medical Clinic curates a wide range of effective treatments to address various concerns and issues.
Incorporating treatment helps reduce enlarged pores, allowing you to achieve a smoother complexion.
Enlarged pores could be a common reason for acne and blackhead formations. Addressing them early can prevent these issues from developing.
With enlarged pores significantly minimized, skincare products and ingredients can deeply penetrate the skin, enhancing its effect.
Treating enlarged pores helps to promote a healthier and radiant complexion.

Joann S2024-04-16Dr Sam listened patiently to my concerns and is detailed in explaining the different types of options I can chose for my concerns. Their numbing cream works fast and well- about 10-15min and I’m ready for the laser. Did not experience any pain during the pico and curas laser. Within 30 min, I’m ready to go. Staff is friendly and accommodating! Thumbs up ??
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
