Open Pores
Shrink and refine pores with RF microneedling and barrier-restoring skincare.
Pores can't be permanently closed (they don't have a closing mechanism) but their visibility can be significantly reduced. RenovaAura uses RF microneedling to remodel pore-area collagen, combined with niacinamide and retinoid skincare to keep them clear.
What you might notice
Symptoms
- ◍Visible pores on nose, cheeks, forehead
- ◍Skin looks 'rough' close-up
- ◍Foundation settles into pores
- ◍Pores look larger when skin is dry or in summer heat
What's actually happening
Common causes
- Genetics (#1 factor)
- Excess sebum stretching pore walls
- Sun damage degrading collagen around pores
- Age — collagen loss makes pores look bigger
- Comedones (blackheads) blocking and stretching pores
How RenovaAura treats this
Our approach.
- 1Niacinamide and salicylic acid skincare to regulate sebum and clear pores
- 2Retinoid to thicken skin and improve cellular turnover
- 3RF microneedling sessions to stimulate collagen around pores
- 4Strict sunscreen — sun damage worsens pore visibility
- 5Optional in-clinic deep-cleansing facials for comedone clearance
