I am 26 years old bachelor, I have small pores on my nose which look bad in direct sunlight. Kindly suggest something which can help me in filling the pores on my nose and face.

Question

Hi thank you for posting your query to us the pore size depends on the size of the sebaceous glands, nose being rich in sebaceous glands. The bigger the size, the larger the pore. Any treatment which decreases the size and activity of the sebaceous glands would definitely affect the pore size, but that would be temporary. -retinoids in form of tablets and creams are sebostatic. They shrink/decrease the size of the sebaceous glands by 90% within a month, thus making the pore appear shrink/smaller. OR -You could go in for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Sessions: IPL stimulates the production of collagen, which plumps up the skin and gives you a fresher look, and refines or tightens large pores. You can take a few sessions at 3 weeks interval. OR -Regular chemical peeling sessions from a dermatologist: Chemical peels can smooth the surface of your skin, improve skin tone and color, diminish wrinkles and shrink pore size. Chemical peeling is usually repeated every 2-3 weeks. However, it is not possible to reduce the size of the pores, permanently. Hope this helps regards.
