The Hollywood Carbon Laser Peel is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses a layer of liquid carbon to penetrate deep into the pores of the skin. When the laser is applied to the skin, it targets the carbon particles and heats them up, which causes a slight explosion in the pores. This explosion helps to dislodge dirt, oil, and other impurities that have become trapped in the pores, leading to a reduction in pore size. Additionally, the heat from the laser stimulates collagen production in the skin, resulting in improved skin elasticity and firmness.

Delivery of high-intensity radiofrequency energy in a multi-layered 3D approach targets acne scars located under the dermal layers of the skin, breaking down old scar tissue and inducing the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers. This treatment can also help reduce the size of pores by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.

Exosomes are naturally occurring small vesicles that contain various biomolecules, such as growth factors and signaling molecules. They are produced by cells in the body and play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication. Exosomes help stimulate collagen production by delivering growth factors and signaling molecules to the skin cells, which in turn, promote the production of new collagen. This results in improved skin texture and firmness, leading to a reduction in pore size as the skin becomes tighter and more resilient.

Microneedling is a treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This controlled damage stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which can help to improve the texture of the skin, including the appearance of acne scars, and tighten pores.

The active ingredient in Vitamin A, retinol, can help induce skin cell turnover, leading to the shedding of dead skin cells and unclogging of pores. This can result in a reduction of pore size. Additionally, Vitamin A can stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness, ultimately reducing the appearance of pores.

Microneedling + Vitamin A Infusion Peel is a two-step treatment that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin through microneedling, which allows for the further infusion of Vitamin A (retinol) into the skin. When combined, the two treatments produce synergistic effects, especially on collagen production, that go beyond what can be achieved individually, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced appearance of pores and scars.

The number of sessions you need for your acne scar treatment might vary depending on various factors, such as the type, severity, and depth of the scar, the kind of treatment you receive, and how well your skin responds to it.

To achieve the best possible results, it is usually recommended to schedule multiple sessions (at least 5) of acne scar treatments.

When it comes to deciding on pore reduction treatments, you may face a dilemma in choosing between a single type of treatment or a combination of methods, as there are multiple different options available.

Each treatment has its unique benefits and approach to reducing pore size through collagen boosting under the skin or deep cleansing. Therefore, identifying the major cause of enlarged pores is the first step in deciding on a treatment plan.

1. Treat acne promptly: The sooner you treat acne, the less likely it is to cause scarring.
2. Avoid picking or popping pimples: Picking or popping pimples can increase inflammation and the risk of scarring. It's important to resist the urge to touch or squeeze your pimples.
3. Protect your skin from the sun: Sun exposure can worsen acne and increase the risk of scarring. Always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 50 and limit your time in the sun.
