No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Facial pores are visible topographic features of the skin that reflect openings of pilosebaceous follicles, that may be enlarged causing distress to some individuals. Many patients desire treatment for this condition, which can be an early sign of skin aging. Therapeutic modalities include intense pulsed light, radiofrequency, dermabrasion, oral and topical retinoids, as well as chemical peeling. Lasers, as fractional CO2, short pulse and Q-switched Nd-YAG, can potentially be used in treatment of wide pores.

This study aims at the assessment and comparison of therapy with short pulsed and Q-switched Nd-YAG laser plus topical carbon with fractional CO2 laser in the management of wide facial pores.
