Large pores can be caused by excessive oil production, acne, and hormonal imbalances. To treat enlarged pores, Dr. Vanek can offer several options which will be reviewed with you at the time of your consultation. Your unique anatomy and outcome goal will inform our treatment recommendations. If it’s right for you, an ablative laser can be used to resurface your facial skin and trigger collagen production. The Sciton® Profractional™ and the Sciton® MicroLaserPeel™ are two lasers used to selectively remove dermal tissue and resurface your skin. This triggers the production of new collagen which improves the texture, firmness and appearance of your skin.

The Mentor Peel™, developed and trademarked by Dr. Vanek, is a procedure that combines the Profractional™ and MicroLaserPeel™ treatments to provide exceptional resurfacing outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Vanek will review the risks and benefits of laser treatments so you can make an informed, medically sound decision.
