Many people are blessed with very smooth skin. Their pores are small and are virtually unnoticeable. Then there are other individuals who feel like their pores do nothing but cause them grief. Their pores are very large, very noticeable and can be considered unattractive. But why do some people have such large pores? What purpose do pores serve? Is there even a treatment out there for pore reduction?
What Are Pores?
Before discussing pore reduction, it is a good idea to understand what pores are. Your pores are small openings in your skin. These openings allow hair to grow on your body, and they also allow your body to create a natural oil that lubricates and protects your skin. Everyone has pores all over their body. If you do not have pores and if your body could not secrete oil that then passes over the hair on your body, your skin would be cracked, dry and unhealthy.
Why Are My Pores So Big?
Like so many other parts of who and what you are, the size of your pores is determined by genetics. If your ancestors had larger pores, it is likely that by the time you reach your mid-twenties, you will have noticeable pores as well.
But you may wonder, if I have pores all over my body, why is it that the ones that are on my face and my back are so large? This is because on certain parts of the body, oil glands are more active than other parts of the body. Additionally, environmental factors, such as wind, makeup, holding your cell phone on your face and sleeping on a pillow, can stimulate oil-creating glands, which in turn makes the pores on your face noticeable.
Here’s the good part. Even though your pores are large as a result of genetics, this does not mean that there is nothing that you can do to reduce their size. In fact, for many people, the Hollywood Spectra laser peel has been just what they need to make their pores look smaller and give their face a more rejuvenated appearance.
What is a Hollywood Spectra Laser Peel?
The Hollywood Spectra laser peel is a non-invasive procedure that is designed to reinvigorate the way your skin looks. Most patients see immediate pore reduction after getting a Hollywood Spectra laser peel. However, the best results come from using the product over an extended period of time.
The Hollywood Spectra laser will help with your large pores because it eats up the dermis. This, in turn, causes your skin to contract in your pores to get smaller. At the same time, it generates collagen growth, which can heal any damage on your face. Most patients who use the Hollywood Spectra laser peel say that they experienced no discomfort during the treatment.
