Open & Dilated pores

what are open pores?

Skin is the largest organ of the body. It contains millions of pores, even if most of them are not visible to the human eye. All of these pores are open, allowing the skin to “breathe.” Each pore contains a hair follicle. Each pore also contains sebaceous (oil) glands that make an oil called sebum.

The sebaceous glands are most abundant in the pores on your face, back, chest, and groin. Hormones play a role in stimulating these glands in order to produce more abundant quantities of sebum. That’s why the pores on your face, most specifically those on your nose, forehead, and cheeks, may appear larger than they do on other areas of your body.

Any skin type, whether it’s oily, normal, or dry, can take on the appearance of having large, open pores. These may give your skin a dull appearance, particularly if they’re clogged with dirt, bacteria, oil, or dead skin cells. At reimagine clinic in montreal, we offer a variety of treatments to help you with reducing your pores.

What causes dilated and open pores?

There are several causes of large-looking open pores. They include:

  • high levels of oil (sebum) production
  • reduced elasticity around pores
  • thick hair follicles
  • genetics or heredity
  • reduction of collagen production in skin, caused by aging
  • sun damage or overexposure to the sun
