Pore Size Reduction: Explore Your Options at Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre
Are you looking to refine your skin texture and reduce pore size? At Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre, we understand that large pores can be a concern for many, often contributing to a less smooth complexion. We offer a range of advanced treatments, ensuring that you receive personalized care that aligns with the highest professional standards.
What Are Open Pores?
Open pores are small openings on the skin’s surface that contain hair follicles and help release oils and sweat. They play a critical role in maintaining healthy skin by facilitating the removal of sebum (natural skin oils) and dead skin cells. However, when these pores enlarge, they become noticeable, often leading to cosmetic concerns. Open pores are not a medical issue but can affect your skin’s aesthetic appearance.
Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre offers the most comprehensive TGA and FDA-approved consultations and treatments for pore size reduction in Melbourne.
Signs and Symptoms of Open Pores
Open pores are small, round, visible indentations on the skin, primarily noticeable on the face and particularly on the cheeks, forehead, and nose. While not typically accompanied by physical discomfort, people with open pores often notice:
- Rough Texture: The skin may feel uneven or coarse.
- Shiny Skin: Excess oil secretion can cause a shiny appearance, especially in people with oily skin.
- Blackheads and Acne: Enlarged pores can trap oil and dirt, leading to acne breakouts or blackheads.
These symptoms are more evident under harsh lighting or close inspection and can impact your skin’s aesthetic appearance.
Advanced and secure treatments for facial pore reduction in Melbourne at Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre help improve skin tone and texture, providing an aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
Why Do People Have Open Pores?
Multiple factors contribute to the development of open and enlarged pores:
- Genetics: Heredity plays a significant role in determining pore size and oil production.
- Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can enlarge pores.
- Aging: With age, collagen production declines, reducing skin elasticity and making pores appear larger.
- Sun Damage: Chronic sun exposure thickens skin, causing the edges of pores to stretch.
- Improper Skincare: Lack of exfoliation can cause clogged pores, contributing to their enlargement.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy can exacerbate open pores.
How Are Open Pores Treated?
The treatment for open pores minimises their appearance by improving skin texture and reducing excess oil.
Nitai Medical and Cosmetic Centre offers a range of advanced and secure face pore reduction treatments in Melbourne for every skin type and are TGA & FDA approved. These include the following:
Fraxel Laser
Our Fraxel Laser Treatment is a revolutionary approach that targets skin irregularities, right down to the pore. It works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process, resulting in renewed skin texture and tone.
Benefits:
- Refined skin appearance.
- Reduction in pore visibility.
- Revitalization of complexion.
Side Effects:
- Temporary redness.
- Mild swelling.
Potenza RF Microneedling
Potenza takes microneedling to the next level by incorporating radiofrequency energy, enhancing skin tightening, which can lead to a decrease in pore size.

Side Effects:

- Minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Vivace
Vivace combines targeted microneedling with radiofrequency energy and LED light therapy to refine the skin’s surface. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking minimal downtime.
Benefits:

- Enhanced skin tone.
Side Effects:

Milk Peel
A milk peel is a gentle chemical peel that utilizes lactic acid to exfoliate the surface layer of the skin. This type of peel is known for its hydrating properties and is often recommended for sensitive skin types.
Benefits:
- Reduction in fine lines
- Improved skin hydration
- Stimulates collagen production resulting in firmer skin
Side Effects:
- Slight redness or irritation for a few hours post treatment
Carbon Peel
A carbon peel is a two-step process that involves applying a liquid carbon solution to the skin, which penetrates the pores, followed by laser treatment that breaks down the carbon particles.
Benefits:
- Minimises oil production leading to clearer skin
Side Effects:
- Possible redness and peeling post treatment
Lactic Peel
Similar to a milk peel, a lactic peel also uses lactic acid but in higher concentrations. It’s an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) peel that targets hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other mild skin imperfections.
Benefits:
- Improve skin texture
- Brighten skin tone
Side Effects:
- Temporary redness, dryness or flaking
Mask Peel
A mask peel typically contains a combination of acids and other skin-enhancing ingredients. It is applied like a mask and works to exfoliate and treat the skin.
Benefits:
- Smoothens the texture of the skin.
Side Effects:
- Redness, irritation and peeling depending on the strength of the peel
Microdermabrasion
Explanation: Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical process where a device is used to exfoliate and remove the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells.
Benefits:
- Smoother texture
- Freshens the skin
Side Effects:
- Slight redness and swelling for a few hours after treatment
Hydrafacial
Our Hydrafacial treatment goes beyond traditional facials by providing a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration, all while ensuring that pores are meticulously cared for.
Benefits:
- Intense hydration.
- Pore detoxification.
Side Effects:
- Rare, but potential for slight redness.
Immediate Post-Treatment Effects
Immediately after treatments, patients may notice:
- Redness or Swelling: Common with procedures like microneedling or laser therapy but typically subsides within a day or two.
- Peeling or Flaking: Especially with chemical peels, as the skin sheds its upper layer.
- Sensitivity: Treated skin might be sensitive to touch or sun exposure, necessitating gentle care and use of sunscreen.
These are temporary and effectively managed by our physician with topical medications. Thus, these effects go away in a few days.

- Smoother Skin Texture: Regular treatments promote long-lasting skin smoothness and pore size improvements.
- Improved Elasticity: Stimulated collagen production enhances skin firmness, making pores less noticeable.
