ACNE & PORES

Acne & pores

We distinguish active acne, enlarged pores and depressed acne scars. Treatment is planned around inflammation, oiliness and the skin texture that remains.

ASSESSMENT

What we assess

Active acne

We check new lesions, inflammation and oiliness, and plan active-acne care alongside scar assessment.

Enlarged pores

Oil, clogged openings, firmness and surface condition are assessed separately from deep scar depressions.

Depressions, texture & tethering

We examine scar openings, depth, edges and movement. Mixed scar patterns may need methods with different roles.

TREATMENT & CARE

Treatment & care by clinical role

Selected depressed-scar treatment

TCA CROSS is considered for selected narrow deep scars, and scar filler for suitable volume-deficient depressions. CureJet and SynergyFill are assessed according to tethering and surface findings.

RECOVERY & DAILY CARE

Recovery & everyday care

Redness, swelling, crusting, bruising or pigment change can follow lasers, injections or focal peeling. Avoid rubbing or squeezing; follow cleansing, moisturizing and sun-protection instructions. Recovery and response guide the next step.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Are large pores the same as acne scars?

Pore clogging, oiliness and firmness differ from tissue depression left after inflammation. Depth, edges and movement help select treatment even when they look similar.

Are TCA CROSS and scar fillers routine pore treatments?

These procedures are selected after evaluating specific depressed scars and volume loss, rather than simply because pores look large.

Can I discuss scars while acne is still active?

Active acne and existing scars can be assessed together. Priorities usually address inflammation and new lesions before progressing to appropriate scar procedures.
