Skin Texture & Pores

Halo Treatment Patient for Skin textures pores issues

Improving skin texture and minimizing pores through care and treatments

Pores and skin texture are natural and normal. Over time, hormones, pollution, makeup, and oils can clog pores, leaving your skin texture uneven, rough, and dull. Don’t despair: the Interior Dermatology Centre of Kelowna, British Columbia, team has solutions to fit your unique skin goals. We are committed to providing our patients with affordable, effective, and long-lasting solutions while remaining safe and reliable. We can assist if you are looking for skin care solutions for textured skin and large pores!

What to Expect with Skin Texture & Pores

The “airbrushed” nature of media has many of our patients focusing on skin texture and pores – even if it’s not their primary concern. The reality is many factors impact the texture of your skin, including hormones, rosacea, acne, genetics, and lifestyle:

  • Pores stretch out and appear larger as they become clogged with oils, dead skin, and dirt.

  • The natural aging process slows collagen production, impacting the structural support of the skin.

  • Excess oil production, inflammation, and bacteria caused by acne can injure the skin, leaving behind discoloration and scarring.

  • Not to mention the damaging effects of the sun!

Which treatment option is right for me?

Our doctors will evaluate your skin and speak with you about the specific areas of concern you want to address. Then, they can discuss the various treatment options so you can make a knowledgeable and educated decision regarding your skin care.

  • We offer an extensive range of laser peels, including NanoLaserPeel™, MicroLaserPeel®, and Contour TRL™. Laser resurfacing uses intense laser energy to remove the superficial layers of the skin while also penetrating deeper layers to stimulate collagen production. The results speak for themselves: improved texture, more even complexion, and overall younger-looking skin.
