At OLA Aesthetics, we take a science-backed approach to improving skin texture and refining enlarged pores. We focus on enhancing your skin’s natural function rather than masking concerns with short-term fixes. Healthy, smooth skin starts with understanding the underlying causes of textural irregularities and selecting treatments that work in harmony with your skin.
A Note From Dr Aleks
Achieving smooth, refined skin isn’t just about treating the surface—it’s about working with the skin at every level. Through my years of experience, I’ve found that the keys to improving skin texture are consistency and a personalised approach.
Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture often result from a combination of factors, including oil production, collagen loss and environmental damage. My goal is to address these root causes rather than offering temporary fixes. By supporting your skin’s natural renewal processes, we can create long-term improvements in both appearance and function.
Common Characteristics
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged, visible pores
- Skin that appears dull or lacks radiance
- Fine lines or surface irregularities
- Buildup of dead skin cells leading to congestion
- Increased oil production contributing to pore size
Contributing Factors
- Excess oil production and clogged pores
- Loss of collagen and elastin, which support pore structure
- Dehydration, leading to a rough skin surface
- Genetic predisposition to larger pores
- Sun damage weakening skin elasticity
- Inconsistent or improper skincare routines
Understanding Skin Texture and Pores
Skin texture and pore size are influenced by multiple factors occurring at different skin levels:
Surface Layer (Epidermis)
- Accumulation of dead skin cells
- Decreased moisture retention
- Increased keratin production, which can clog pores
Middle Layer (Dermis)
- Reduced collagen and elastin production
- Weakening of pore walls
- Changes in sebaceous (oil) gland activity
Frequently Asked Questions
While you can’t permanently change pore size, you can minimise their appearance by keeping them clear, improving skin elasticity and supporting collagen production. Treatments that promote cell turnover and collagen renewal can help refine pores over time.
Collagen and elastin naturally decline with age, leading to less structural support for the skin. As a result, pores can become more noticeable. Sun exposure and environmental damage also contribute to this process.
Managing oil production can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, but balance is key. Over-drying the skin can lead to increased oil production as a compensatory response. A personalised skincare routine is essential.
Exfoliation plays an important role in smoothing the skin, but professional treatments such as chemical peels, laser or radiofrequency therapy and microneedling can provide deeper and more lasting improvements.
Medical-grade treatments target different layers of the skin to enhance collagen production, regulate oil and create a more even surface. Options like resurfacing lasers, skin boosters and customised facials can all yield long-term improvements.
