Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores can result from genetics, sun exposure, aging, or past acne. These changes may cause the skin to appear rough or less smooth, but targeted treatment can effectively refine texture, minimize pores, and restore a more even surface.

Commonly Asked Questions About Skin Texture and Pores
What can cause uneven skin texture and enlarged pores?
Skin texture concerns often develop due to aging, sun exposure, genetics, or past acne. These factors reduce collagen and elasticity, making pores appear larger and skin feel rough or uneven. Oil production, environmental damage, and loss of skin firmness can also contribute to visible pores and textural irregularities.
Which treatments are most effective for improving skin texture?
Laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, and chemical peels are among the most effective options for refining texture and minimizing pores. Laser treatments target surface irregularities and stimulate collagen production, while RF microneedling works at deeper layers to remodel tissue. Chemical peels provide controlled exfoliation for smoother skin. Your provider will customize your treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns, and downtime preference.
How many treatments will I need to see results?
Results vary depending on the type of treatment performed. Some patients notice visible improvements after just one session, while others achieve the best outcome through a series of treatments. Most plans include three to five sessions spaced several weeks apart. During your consultation, your provider will create a personalized plan based on your skin concerns and goals.
Is there downtime after skin texture treatments?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment intensity. Light resurfacing and microneedling may cause mild redness for one to two days, while deeper resurfacing may require several days of recovery with visible peeling or flaking. Most patients can return to work and do normal activities within a few days. Your provider will discuss what to expect based on your specific treatment plan.
When will I see results from my skin texture treatment?
Most patients see visible improvement within one week as initial redness subsides and skin begins to renew. However, the most dramatic results develop gradually over the next several months as new collagen forms and your skin continues to refine. For best results, following your post-treatment skincare regimen is essential.
Can I combine multiple treatments for better results?
Yes. Many patients benefit from combining treatments like RF microneedling and laser resurfacing to address multiple concerns, such as, texture, tone, pore size, and firmness – simultaneously for comprehensive rejuvenation. Our providers often create customized treatment plans that layer different modalities for enhanced outcomes.
How can I maintain my results after treatment?
Maintaining smooth, refined skin requires consistent at-home care with medical-grade skincare products. Our aestheticians will recommend a customized regimen including antioxidants, retinoids, and sun protection to preserve your results. Periodic maintenance treatments every few months can also help sustain long-term improvement.
What is the difference between laser resurfacing and RF microneedling?
Laser resurfacing uses concentrated light energy to remove damaged surface layers and stimulate collagen, making it excellent for texture, tone, and fine lines. RF microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to heat deeper tissue layers, promoting collagen remodeling and tightening from within. Your provider will help determine which treatment or combination is best for your specific concerns.
