Enlarged and clogged pores account for much of the acne that many of us experience. Thankfully, pore treatments don’t all have to be complicated. Here at Le Parlour, we offer the ADVATx skin resurfacing treatment to clear skin and reduce pore size. These treatments take little time – sometimes as little as 10 minutes – and can give you beautifully clear skin that lasts.
What Are Pore Treatments?
Pore treatments focus on cleaning and minimizing pore size. These treatments are essential for eliminating the debris and excess sebum oil that clogs pores. When pores become clogged, the skin becomes prone to acne, irritation, and eventual scarring. Clearing your skin can be done easily with proper microneedling and radiofrequency treatments.
Why Choose ADVATx Skin Resurfacing?
The ADVATx device can clean your skin and reduce the size of your pores in as little as 10 minutes. Moreover, this device stimulates collagen production and allows your skin to improve itself over time. Along with smaller pores, you can notice several benefits after an ADVATx treatment course, including:
- Rejuvenated skin.
- Improved skin texture.
- Tighter skin.
- Improved skin firmness and elasticity.
Pore Treatments With ADVATx Skin Resurfacing
Treatments with ADVATx involve the application of the device against the skin’s surface. As the device goes to work, tiny needles penetrate the skin, and radiofrequency energy is released. These actions stimulate natural healing both on the surface and under the surface of the skin. Some discomfort may be felt during this process, but treatments are typically described as tolerable.
Results
After the ADVATx treatment course, your body sets your natural healing processes into action. These processes are accelerated and result in the formation of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, this causes your body to heal and improve, leading to better skin quality and decreased pore size.

Pore Treatments FAQs
What are pore treatments?
Pore treatments are cosmetic procedures that aim to reduce the appearance of enlarged or clogged pores on the skin. These treatments can include laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling, and skincare products specifically formulated to address pore issues. Enlarged pores can be caused by genetics, aging, sun damage, and clogged pores.
What are the benefits of laser therapy for pore treatments?
Laser therapy can be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. The laser energy penetrates the skin, heating the tissue and stimulating collagen production, which can help to tighten and shrink the pores. Laser therapy can also be effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving overall skin texture.
Is laser therapy for pore treatments painful?
Most patients describe laser therapy for pore treatments as feeling like a mild warming or snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to help minimize any discomfort. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and there is no downtime associated with the procedure.
How many sessions of laser therapy will I need for pore treatments?
The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of your pore issues and your individual goals. Most patients require between 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your skincare professional will be able to advise you on the number of sessions needed for your specific needs.
What can I expect during a laser therapy for pore treatments?
During the treatment, a handheld device will be passed over the targeted area, delivering the laser energy. You may feel a mild warming or snapping sensation as the energy is applied. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What can I expect after a laser therapy for pore treatments?
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. These side effects should subside within a few hours to a few days. You should avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your skin. It is also important to avoid using any harsh skincare products or exfoliants for a few days following the treatment. You may start to see results after the first treatment, but optimal results will be visible after a series of treatments.
What are the benefits of chemical peels and microneedling for pore treatments?
Chemical peels and microneedling can be effective treatments for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores by removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production. Chemical peels use a solution to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, while microneedling involves using a device with small needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. Both treatments can improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What are skincare products that can help with pore treatments?
In addition to cosmetic procedures, there are a variety of skincare products that can help with pore treatments. Products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) can exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Retinoids, such as retinol, can also help to unclog pores and stimulate collagen production. It is important to choose skincare products that are suitable for your skin type and concerns and to use them consistently for best results.
What are the benefits of microneedling for pore treatments?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, can be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. The tiny punctures created by the microneedling device stimulate collagen production, which can help to tighten and shrink the pores. Microneedling can also improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients describe microneedling as feeling like a mild tingling or prickling sensation. A topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin before the treatment to help minimize any discomfort. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and there is minimal downtime associated with the procedure.
What can I expect during a microneedling treatment?
During the treatment, a device with tiny needles will be passed over the targeted area, creating small punctures in the skin. A numbing cream may be applied to the skin beforehand to minimize any discomfort. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What can I expect after a microneedling treatment?
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. These side effects should subside within a few hours to a few days. You should avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your skin. It is also important to avoid using any harsh skincare products or exfoliants for a few days following the treatment. You may start to see results after the first treatment, but optimal results will be visible after a series of treatments.
What are the benefits of chemical peels for pore treatments?
Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Chemical peels use a solution to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, which can improve overall skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Is there any downtime associated with chemical peels for pore treatments?
The downtime associated with chemical peels for pore treatments can vary depending on the strength of the peel and the severity of your skin concerns. Superficial peels may cause some redness and peeling, but there is typically no downtime associated with the procedure. Medium-depth and deep peels may require a few days to a week of recovery time, during which you may experience redness, peeling, and mild discomfort.
