Enlarged Pores
Enlarged Pores
What are enlarged pores?
Pores, those tiny dots you see on the surface of your skin, are actually the openings of hair follicles.
They are completely normal and everyone has them, however, occasionally pores can enlarge to create unsightly ‘pits’ particularly around the facial area.
What causes enlarged pores?
Each pore contains a sebaceous gland, responsible for producing the oil of our skin.
The natural size of our pores is often determined by genetic factors and our skin type. Typically, people with darker skin types have larger pores than those with fairer skin. Dry skin often appears poreless whilst the pores of the oily skin are much more noticeable.
Despite these genetic factors your pores can easily become further enlarged and stretched due to several completely natural occurrences.
The primary contributing factor is when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil, and over time the pores can become clogged with sebum and dead skin, causing them to stretch.
Which parts of the skin are most affected by enlarged pores?
Whilst enlarged pores can occur all over the body, they become most noticeable around the forehead and nose, as this is where the sebaceous glands are larger and therefore the pores are more noticeable.
Enlarged pores around these points on the face are usually the main areas of concern when people seek treatment for this skin problem.
Can enlarged pores be treated?
Absolutely! With the correct skin regime, coupled with Chic’s skin solutions, you can rest assured that we will be able to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and restore confidence in your skin.

Love going to @Chic skin and laser clinic Penrith. Have a pedicure with paraffin every three weeks my favourite thing. My feet like a million dollars and while I’m there I’m spoiled rotten. Staff very caring and accommodating. Thanks ladies see you in three weeks.
Kim Scott
I’ve had laser hair removal multiple times at Chic in a series of areas and they are by far the most thorough, clean and professional team I have seen. I have sensitive skin and have had amazing results with minimal hair regrowth! I’ve also had multiple of their facials and laser on my face, and truly have felt pampered with a full spa experience, thorough conversations of my skin concerns and explanations of steps I can take to mend them. I had full acne across my forehead and cheeks and saw a significant reduction from their facials and face laser! I now dye and tweeze my eyebrows at Chic, and have been told my eyebrows have never looked better. The energy is always warm and welcoming, I cannot speak highly enough about their services and each member of their team. You will not be disappointed!
Raquel Houlihan
My skin has never looked better, Thank you Maria @Chic Skin and Laser Clinic. My skin looks and feels amazing after my treatment. I have super sensitive skin and am often petrified of getting a facial, as a matter of fact prior to yesterday I haven’t had one in over a year! Your tremendous knowledge and the abundance of professional products your clinic offered reassured me I was in good hands. The final results when I looked in the mirror spoke for themselves. My skin looked absolutely radiant and healthy again! Thanks to you. I normally won’t walk out of the house without foundation but after your beautiful facial I felt super confident to not need any makeup at all.
Josephine Houlihan
I had a facial at Chic Skin and Laser Clinic and it was truly rejuvenating. They walked me through the skin issues I was experiencing and were very thorough. It was a relaxing experience that left my skin in much better shape than when I walked in. I plan on doing it again.

Gaye DeCelis
I have been going to Chic Skin and Laser Clinic for many years now and continue to return as I absolutely love the dedication and professionalism from Maria and Lois. Maria has been focusing on my lines especially around my eyes with various treatments, my latest being the fractional. The results are amazing and I have really noticed an obvious improvement in the health of my skin and the fine lines which Maria has been focusing on.
Thanks to their team I can enjoy youthful skin again.
Rachel Bolton
This place has done absolute wonders for my skin and confidence! I’ve been going here for 12 months and Maria has been brilliant. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly — and this can sometimes make all the difference. I only regret not going sooner!
Cameron Dowd
I have been going to Chic for the last 15 years since I was young!
Maria is the most amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, kind, experienced skin expert there is. She has taken my skin on a journey from the worst acne ever when I was young, to my skins needs now in my 30's.
She does not upsell things you do not need and recommend the perfect treatments every time and it's so rare to find a place these days that is so honest and trustworthy for beauty needs.
I now live over an hour away and continue to travel every 4-6 weeks for the 5 star service that still continues every single visit.
I could not recommend Chic Penrith enough ❤️

I thought the laser treatment I had for broken capillaries and a Rudy completion was almost immediate and later in the day I had a great tone. Thanks to the girls at Chic for your professional care and caring. Book me in again.

Rachael Vicary
Lady I had last night for my Laser was just so good at her job. She knew a lot , she could have a laugh, she was very professional.
She mentioned she didn't normally work at the Penrith store I wish she did as I always find such a quick turn over in employees. Hard to continuously get used to different people having to explain. Aside from that she was amazing!
Alexandra Green
The ONLY place I go! The quality of services, products and interactions with staff are outstanding. I am always thrilled with results and price. Highly recommend.
