Can IPL skin rejuvenation minimize pores?
Disease description:
My facial pores are extremely noticeable, and I’d like to visit a hospital for pore-minimizing treatment. A friend recommended photorejuvenation (intense pulsed light, or IPL). Can photorejuvenation effectively minimize pores?

Dr. Liu Yong
Photorejuvenation (intense pulsed light, IPL) breaks down melanin in the skin and stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin fibers across multiple dermal layers. This treatment not only minimizes pore size but also tightens the skin and enhances its radiance. The mechanism primarily involves the application of broad-spectrum, polychromatic light to the skin, generating both photothermal and photochemical effects. These effects promote the regeneration and realignment of collagen and elastic fibers, thereby restoring facial skin elasticity, reducing or eliminating wrinkles, and refining pore appearance.
