Are there any gentle treatments that don't leave redness for long?

It's because of the enlarged pores around my nose.

The pain during the procedure was severe, and afterwards, my face was burning red for over a week with scabs forming, so I struggled a lot with the recovery. Even though I endured it so hard, I was disappointed because I didn't see as much pore tightening effect as I had expected. I guess that's always the case with pore treatments.

So this time, instead of lasers that are too irritating to the skin or interfere with daily life, I would like to know if there are other procedures that are relatively less painful yet effective for shrinking pores. I’ve heard that nowadays there are many injection treatments that reduce pores by replenishing collagen deep within the skin, as well as gentle treatments that do not cause redness for a long time.

Is that right?
