Even if you have a perfectly impeccable complexion, your skin ceases to look beautiful if your pores are wide open.
Along with oily skin, pores lead to comedones that are bumps on the skin giving your skin a pitted appearance.
Why Should You Treat This Condition?
Open pores lead to a lackluster appearance of the skin as it prevents the light from reflecting evenly. It is essential to have the pores closed so that the skin can look bright and flawless.
Troublesome open pores will contribute to an additional flare-up of spots and possibly even acne. If you treat your open pores when they first appear, you can stop them from becoming pesky!
How Can You Expect Relief?
Open pores cannot disappear instantaneously; nevertheless, you can help make them appear smaller or inconspicuous.
Dr Rashmi Shetty Bursts a Few Myths about pores

No. But just the intense temperature makes the skin go into spasm, and for a few seconds, and you feel the skin is tight.
Salon steam helps reduce pores.
Steaming frequently or using steam that is too hot can aggravate inflammatory acne because it increases redness and inflammation.
What are the treatments for Open Pores?

Dr. Rashmi Shetty conducts a thorough examination of your skin, considers all other related factors and prescribes a personalized treatment regime.
Non-invasive treatment
Chemical Peels for open pores
Chemical peels have also become one of the most popular treatments to reduce open pores. The chemical peels help to extract dead skin and clear the sebum. The process results in a drastic surge in collagen production and tightens the skin. They aid in gentle exfoliation that reveals rejuvenated skin from beneath and consequently reduces the enlarged pores.
Laser Treatment

This treatment is especially effective in treating the pores occurring because of aging. The amazing aspect about lasers is they have no downtime.Laser skin resurfacing diminishes the appearance of pores.
