Refine Enlarged Pores at IV League x Six Clinic Vancouver

Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture are some of the most common skin concerns we see in clinic.

At IV League Injections by Vicki Nguyen, in collaboration with Six Clinic Vancouver, we use a combination of HydraFacial and advanced laser treatments to help improve skin clarity, refine pore appearance, and support long-term skin health.

Can You Actually Shrink Your Pores?

Here’s the honest answer: pores don’t have muscles, so they can’t be permanently “closed,” and their baseline size is largely genetic. What you can change is how visible they are. Pores look larger when they’re stretched by trapped oil and debris, or when the skin around them loses firmness. By deeply clearing congestion, keeping oil in check, and stimulating collagen so the surrounding skin holds them tighter, we can meaningfully refine their appearance and smooth your overall texture. So the realistic goal is refinement — not erasing pores entirely, which no treatment or product can truly do. Be cautious of anything that promises to make pores disappear for good.

Why Do Pores Look Enlarged?

Pores are a natural part of healthy skin, but they can appear more visible due to:

  • Excess oil production
  • Congestion and buildup within pores
  • Loss of collagen and skin elasticity
  • Sun damage
  • Genetics

When pores become clogged or the surrounding skin loses firmness, they can appear larger and more noticeable.

Our Approach to Pore Refinement

We take a multi-step, combination approach to address both the cause and appearance of enlarged pores:

  • Deeply cleanse and decongest
  • Improve skin texture
  • Support collagen production over time

Step 1: HydraFacial for Deep Pore Cleansing

HydraFacial helps to:

  • Gently exfoliate dead skin cells
  • Remove oil, debris, and congestion from pores
  • Hydrate and rebalance the skin

This step helps to instantly improve skin clarity and reduce the appearance of clogged pores.

Step 2: Laser for Skin Tightening & Texture

We incorporate medical-grade laser treatments to:

  • Stimulate collagen production
  • Improve skin firmness
  • Refine overall texture

Over time, this helps visibly reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by supporting tighter, smoother skin.

Why We Combine HydraFacial + Laser

Using both treatments together allows us to target pores from multiple angles:

  • HydraFacial clears and decongests pores
  • Laser supports tighter, smoother-looking skin

This combination helps create a more refined, even, and radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can enlarged pores be permanently shrunk or closed?

No treatment can permanently close pores or change their genetic baseline size — pores have no muscles to tighten. What treatments can do is meaningfully improve how visible pores look by clearing congestion, managing oil, and building collagen in the surrounding skin. The realistic goal is refinement and smoother texture, not elimination.

What actually makes pores look bigger?

Usually a combination of excess oil, trapped debris that stretches the pore, loss of collagen and firmness in the surrounding skin, sun damage, and genetics. Because several factors are usually at play, addressing pores from more than one angle tends to work best.

HydraFacial or laser — which do I need?

Often both. HydraFacial clears and decongests pores for an immediate improvement in clarity, while laser works more gradually to build collagen and firm the surrounding skin. Combining them targets both the congestion and the texture, which is why we often use them together.

How many sessions will I need?

HydraFacial gives an immediate refresh, while the texture and firmness benefits of laser build over a series of sessions. Most people do best with a plan of several treatments plus some ongoing maintenance. We’ll tailor the number to your skin at your consultation.

Is there downtime?

HydraFacial has essentially no downtime — most people leave with clearer, glowing skin. Laser may cause temporary redness that settles quickly. We’ll tell you what to expect for your specific plan.

Will the results last?

Because oil production, collagen loss, and sun exposure are ongoing, pore refinement is best maintained rather than treated once. Daily SPF, medical-grade skincare, and periodic treatments help keep your results looking their best.
