Are you struggling with excessive facial oil, enlarged pores, frequent blackheads, or recurring acne?

At Shubhashree Skin and Hair Clinic, we offer personalized, dermatologist-supervised treatments to reduce oily skin, improve the appearance of enlarged pores, and restore a smoother, healthier complexion.

What Are Open Pores?

Pores are tiny openings in the skin that contain hair follicles and oil (sebaceous) glands. While pores cannot be permanently "closed," they can become more noticeable due to excess oil production, clogged debris, aging, reduced skin elasticity, sun damage, acne, and genetics.

Why Does Skin Become Oily?

Oily skin occurs when the sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum (natural skin oil). Excess oil can lead to:

  • Enlarged or visible pores
  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Frequent acne breakouts

Treatments Available at Shubhashree Skin and Hair Clinic.

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels help remove dead skin cells, control oil production, reduce blackheads, improve skin texture, and make pores appear less prominent.

Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scars over time.

Carbon Laser Peel (Laser Facial)

An advanced laser treatment that helps reduce oil secretion, minimize pores, improve skin tone, and provide a smoother complexion with minimal downtime.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing

Suitable for patients with enlarged pores associated with acne scars and uneven skin texture.

HydraFacial

A deep cleansing and hydrating procedure that removes excess oil, impurities, and dead skin while improving skin health.

Medical Skincare

Dermatologist-prescribed skincare may include ingredients such as:

  • Salicylic acid
  • Retinoids
  • Niacinamide
  • Azelaic acid
  • Oil-free moisturizers
  • Broad-spectrum sunscreen

These ingredients help control oil, prevent clogged pores, and improve overall skin quality when used consistently.

Daily Skincare Tips for Oily Skin

  • Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser.
  • Use non-comedogenic skincare and makeup products.
  • Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer.
  • Apply sunscreen every day.
  • Do not squeeze blackheads or pimples.
