Quick answer
What Causes Enlarged Pores?
Pores are the openings of hair follicles and their sebaceous glands. They look enlarged when high oil output, trapped sebum and dead skin stretch the opening, which is most common in the T-zone of oily and combination skin.
Genetics, hormones, heat and humidity all increase oil production. Blackheads and sebaceous filaments darken the opening and make pores more visible. This page focuses on oily, congested pores; pores that stretch into a teardrop shape with age and sagging are covered on our aging and sagging pores page.
Pores cannot be closed permanently, but reducing oil and congestion usually makes them look noticeably finer. A doctor-level diagnosis helps separate pores from blackheads, filaments and acne.

A BHA (salicylic acid) product a few times a week can help clear pores.
Light Moisturiser
Oily skin still needs hydration; dehydration can trigger more oil.

Use blotting papers for midday shine instead of repeated washing.

FAQ
Enlarged Pores in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
How much is enlarged pore treatment in Gangnam, Seoul?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Enlarged Pores depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
Can enlarged pores be shrunk permanently?
Enlarged pores cannot be closed permanently because they are natural openings. Reducing oil and congestion can make them look much finer, and regular maintenance keeps that effect.
Is skin Botox good for pores?
Skin Botox may reduce oil production and make pores look smaller for about three to four months. It works best for people with oily skin and is often combined with laser care.
How many pore treatments will I need?
Many people notice a difference after one or two sessions, but a course of three sessions is common for stubborn nose pores. Results then need maintenance.
Can I treat pores during a short trip to Seoul?
Yes. Skin Botox and laser peels have little to no downtime, and Agnes usually leaves only small marks for a few days, so pore treatment fits most trips.
Are my pores enlarged or are they blackheads?
Grey dots on the nose are often sebaceous filaments or blackheads rather than enlarged pores. A doctor's examination at Doje Clinic helps decide which treatment fits.
Do the doctors speak English?
Yes. English consultations are available, with LINE & KakaoTalk booking. Book on WhatsApp at +82 10-6535-2110.
