FAQ: Treating Texture + Pores at The Glow Lab

What causes texture and enlarged pores?

Pores can stretch from excess oil, collagen loss, or repeated breakouts. Texture can also develop from congestion, inflammation, or post-acne scarring.

What treatments work best for smoothing skin?

We recommend Aerolase for collagen stimulation, BioRePeel for surface smoothing, and microneedling for scar and pore refinement.

Is this safe for all skin types?

Yes. All of our treatments are safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI and customized based on your skin tone, texture, and sensitivity.

Will I need more than one session?

Yes. Texture and pores respond best to a series of treatments. We usually recommend 3–6 sessions depending on your skin goals.

Can I combine treatments?

Absolutely. In many cases, we layer BioRePeel and Aerolase or alternate with microneedling to address different layers of the skin.

Is there downtime?

Most treatments have little to no downtime. You may experience some redness or tightness for 24–48 hours post-microneedling.

How do I start my skin refinement plan?

Book a consultation here and we’ll assess your skin, concerns, and goals—then design a personalized protocol just for you.
