I'm worried about my pores. How about a dermatological procedure?

Hello

Now that the weather is getting seriously hot, I just can't shake off this feeling of sadness every time I look in the mirror. When I was younger, people even used to tell me my skin was pretty firm, you know?

As I age and lose elasticity, the long, vertical pores on my skin are incredibly bothersome. Lately, the enlargement of my pores seems noticeably worse than before, making me dread looking in the mirror.

Although it is a natural sign of aging caused by loss of skin elasticity, foundation keeps getting stuck in my pores and doesn't cover up well even with makeup when I go out, so I find myself feeling self-conscious whenever I go out to meet people. I feel like simply using supposedly good cosmetics or face masks at home has reached its limit. Would it be better to get laser treatment or professional care at a clinic to improve enlarged pores, even if it costs a bit more?

I am worried that my skin regeneration speed might be different from that of younger people. If there are any middle-aged people around my age who have actually seen results after receiving dermatological treatments for enlarged pores, please recommend some painless and effective laser or injection procedures.
