Which laser treatment is the most effective for shrinking pores?
Lately, the pores around my nose and butterfly zone seem to be getting more noticeable, so I am looking into laser treatments to shrink them. In particular, when I wear makeup, it looks fine at first, but as time passes, foundation gets stuck in the pores and my skin texture looks uneven, which is really bothering me.
I looked into pore lasers and found there are many types, such as Fraxel, PicoFraxel, and Potenza, so I am not sure which treatment is right for me. I am also curious if the recommended lasers differ for pores enlarged due to excessive sebum compared to those sagging due to loss of skin elasticity.
I would also like to know if a single pore laser treatment is effective, or if I need to receive them consistently over multiple sessions. I am curious about the typical treatment intervals and recommended number of sessions, as well as how long the downtime—such as redness or peeling—lasts after the procedure. If there are any pore laser treatments that can also improve skin texture, please let me know which ones are most recommended.
