Enlarged pores and skin texture

Skin that looks thick, pores visible even under foundation, an uneven surface in raking light. It's not a question of hydration. It's a build-up of dead cells and oxidised sebum in the follicle.

What happens in the skin.

Pores don't "shrink". Their apparent size depends on their content: a full pore looks large, an empty pore looks small. The work consists of emptying and tightening, not shrinking a fixed anatomical structure.

Hydrafacial does exactly that in one session: mechanical extraction by suction, salicylic acid to dissolve the content, peptide infusion to tighten. Visible result as you leave. LaseMD goes further on surface texture by remodelling the tissue over 4 to 6 weeks.

A clean pore looks half the size. Before trying to shrink pores, you need to empty them.

The right treatments

Frequently asked questions

Hydrafacial

Is Hydrafacial suitable for all skin types?

Yes: dry, oily, combination or sensitive skin. The protocol is adjusted to each skin's needs.

How long do the effects last?

Results are visible immediately and generally last 4 to 6 weeks, in line with the skin's natural renewal cycle (about 28 days). One session a month maintains them.

How often should I have it?

A full protocol includes 3 to 4 sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart, then one maintenance session a month. The frequency adapts to your skin.

Hydrafacial or peel: what's the difference?

A peel mainly exfoliates with acids, sometimes requires recovery time and does not suit every skin type. Hydrafacial is gentler: immediate radiance, no downtime, for every skin tone.

LaseMD Lutronic

Does it hurt?

The sensation remains moderate and bearable: slight warmth and tingling during the session.

How many sessions?

Generally 3 to 5 sessions 2 to 4 weeks apart, depending on the indication. For a radiance boost, the laser alone may be enough; for wrinkles and spots, it is combined with LaseMD skincare.

Will my skin be marked?

Slight redness may last 48 h and the tiny laser marks remain visible for about ten days. No downtime.

Is it suitable for my skin colour?

Yes: LaseMD suits all skin types, from the lightest to the darkest, and can be done all year round. A diagnosis at the clinic is required before any laser treatment.

  • Nothing like the other facials I've had: a clear difference in effectiveness.

  • I've had so many treatments for my scars and it's honestly the first time I've seen a real result. You don't sell dreams, you tell it straight.

  • Day 6: my skin hasn't looked this good in years. My acne has dried up, and there are far fewer marks.
