Dilated pores grow at a hair follicle or sweat gland in the skin. First described in 1954 by the physician, Dr. Louis H. Winer, dilated pores are also referred to as dilated pores of Winer. They are single enlarged clogged pores, much bigger than blackheads, with a large black-color opening at the center. These mostly appear on the face, head, neck, and back.
Dilated pores, in most cases, do not pose any health risks, but their presence may impact your looks and, eventually, your confidence. Our team at Medrein Health & Aesthetics, led by an expert physician Dr. Haritha Mikkilineni, offers a wide range of safe and effective cosmetic treatments and procedures for dilated pores removal that will rejuvenate your skin and rekindle your confidence.
Dilated pores are essentially caused due to clogging of pores. The pores are clogged with dead skin cells that form a protein consisting of keratin and sebum. This protein blocks the opening, thus causing the pore to expand or dilate. When exposed to the air, the keratin plug gets oxidized, and this results in the pore taking a black or blue color.
People with the following conditions are at risk of getting dilated pores:
We offer several dilated pores treatments in Southlake, Texas, for our clients, including.
In this procedure for dilated pore removal, pressure is exerted on the keratin plug using a comedone extractor, a metal or plastic device with a hole in the center. This leads to the unblocking of the plug.
It is a minimally invasive procedure in which our physician uses fine needles to make tiny piercings in the top layer of the skin. It activates the healing process of the scar tissue with increased production of collagen and regeneration of skin cells. The resultant skin texture in the affected area is free of dilated pores and looks healthier.
Chemical peeling is an effective treatment for aging and sun-damaged skin that cause dilated pores. In this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the skin leading to the removal of the top layer of dead skin cells. The new skin is smoother and healthier, with no dilated pores.
A successful treatment for anti-aging and sun-damaged skin, the procedure uses ablative laser energy such as CO2 to form wounds to activate the regeneration of new skin and enhance the production of collagen and elastin fibers.
The Fotona 4D facelift, a non-invasive procedure, is a popular face treatment for dilated pores that uses medical laser technology to minimize or remove skin imperfections including dilated pores. It includes four different treatment modes that work equally effectively on the superficial as well as the deep layers of the skin.

Skin care products that cleanse and exfoliate your skin or have retinol and alpha hydroxy acids can make the size of large pores seem smaller.
With a proper skin care regimen and ensuring that the skin is clean of all dirt and sweat, dilated pores may be prevented.
Dilated pores can return if the contents of the pore are not cleaned completely during the treatment procedure.
The cost of dilated pores removal treatment depends on the pore size that necessitates the type of treatment procedure that works best for it.
