How to Shrink Pore Size

Pores and blackheads are a result of excess oil production. As the sebaceous glands produce oil, the skins pores expand to accommodate it. Tiny hairs called vellus hairs aka "peach fuzz" are associated with little hair follicles. These tiny hairs exit the skin thru the follicle opening which we cal the "follicular ostia or "pore". The oil glands are the sebaceous glands produce oil and sebum which collect in the follicular opening and can expand the pore size as it sits there. If it is not removed, it causes decreased elasticity and stretches the pore which makes the pores look larger.

When debris including dead skin cells, oil, sebum, keratin and make up collect in the pore 3 things can happen: 1. It can be removed and the pores will close and shrink down giving a porcelain skin look. 2. it will remain there and the top part of the debris or "junk" in the follicle exposed to the surface will oxidize and turn black, which is what we call a blackhead or "open comedone" 3. the debris becomes trapped and forms pus and inflammation harboring p.acnes bacteria and a whitehead forms or what dermatologists call a "closed comedone". There are many ways to clean the pores and reduce pore size and blackheads. Watch this video to find out how.

I earned my Medical Degree from UC Irvine and completed my residency in Dermatology at UCLA. Upon completing my residency, I joined the full-time faculty at UCLA as a Clinical Instructor and Professor in Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. I then went on to complete advanced fellowship training in Dermatologic Surgery at UC Davis and Cosmetic Dermatology at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern California with world-renowned expert, Dr. Suzanne Kilmer. After fellowship, I was appointed the Director of Dermatologic Surgery at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California where I remained active in clinical trials and have been on the forefront of the latest advances in aesthetics and dermatology. As an Orange County native, I love the SoCal community and currently enjoy being a Dermatologist in Newport Beach, CA.

My areas of expertise include cosmetic dermatology with a focus on injectable neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), as well as dermal fillers (Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Sculptra, Restylane, Belotero, and Radiesse). In addition, I travel nationally and internationally where I teach other physicians injection techniques and about the latest advances in dermatology. I am highly-trained in the use of lasers and energy-based devices to treat all aspects of photoaging, including fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, brown spots and facial vessels. I offer a comprehensive approach to body contouring with the use of minimally-invasive procedures. In addition, I specialize in Dermatologic Surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery, blepharoplasty, skin cancer excisions, sclerotherapy, surgical earlobe repair and cosmetic tattoo excisions.
