Shrinking Pores and Improving Skin Texture with SkinPen® Microneedling

Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture can make it difficult to achieve a flawless complexion, even with the best skin care products or makeup. At Elite Styles Salon and Med Spa in Miami, FL, licensed medical esthetician Vivian Mokwa offers SkinPen microneedling — a clinically proven solution that stimulates collagen production and visibly refines the skin's texture.

Whether you're dealing with large pores, acne scars, or early signs of aging, microneedling can help you feel more confident in your bare skin. Here, you'll find more information on how microneedling shrinks pores and gets you closer to the virtually pore-free skin you've been dreaming of.

What causes pores to get bigger?

Pore size is partly genetic, but there are several lifestyle and environmental factors that can cause pores to get bigger or appear more prominent over time. As we age, collagen levels naturally decline, causing the skin to lose elasticity and firmness. This allows the walls of the pores to stretch, making them look larger. Other causes of large pores include:

• Excess oil production
• Clogged pores from makeup, dead skin, or debris
• Sun damage that breaks down skin structure
• Loss of skin firmness due to aging or poor skin care habits

It's also important to note that when pores are stretched or congested, they reflect light differently, which makes skin appear uneven or dull.

How can I shrink my pores?

While you can't physically shrink your pores, you can tighten the surrounding skin and improve pore appearance through professional treatments like microneedling. SkinPen microneedling works by creating micro-injuries in the skin's surface, which triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production. As your skin rebuilds from within, the structure becomes firmer, and pores appear smaller and more refined.

At Elite Styles Salon and Med Spa, Vivian also offers PRP (platelet-rich plasma) serum as a powerful add-on to SkinPen microneedling. PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors and can accelerate healing, improve outcomes, and give your complexion an added radiance boost for smoother, almost poreless skin overall.

What does microneedling help with besides visible pores?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, in addition to large pores. Because microneedling collagen induction stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, treatment can help improve both the tone and texture of the skin over time. Some of the most common reasons to get microneedling with SkinPen include:

• Acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Stretch marks
• Hyperpigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough or bumpy texture
• Dullness and lack of radiance

Is collagen induction therapy the same as microneedling?

Collagen induction therapy is used interchangeably as another name for microneedling. The term describes the process of triggering collagen production through controlled micro-injuries to the skin. SkinPen is a microneedling device and is widely recognized for its safety, precision, and consistent results. At Elite Styles Salon and Med Spa, our dedicated team customizes each microneedling treatment to the patient's unique skin needs. Whether you're looking to minimize pores, smooth out scars, or refresh your complexion, this collagen-stimulating therapy offers an exciting opportunity to get a more even complexion you can show off with confidence.
