What causes visible pores and oily skin?
Mostly oil production, genetics and skin quality. Irritation from too many products can make texture look worse.

Skin texture and pores
Visible pores, oiliness, skin that looks rough or dull under light. These are about the surface of the skin, not lines or movement.
We look at what is driving it before suggesting any treatment.
What this can be
What affects texture.
Oil production
More oil makes pores more visible and skin shinier.
Pore size and appearance
Partly genetic, partly oil and skin quality.
Light reflection
Uneven surface scatters light and looks dull.
Skin care
Too many or the wrong products can add irritation.
What we measure

Common questions.
Is this about lines or wrinkles?
No. This page is about the surface of the skin: texture, pores, oil and how it reflects light. Expression lines are covered on our early lines page.
What will you look at in a consultation?
Where oil and pores are most noticeable, your skin quality, and what you currently use on your skin.
What treatment might you suggest?
Sometimes a simpler skin care routine comes first. For many people the treatment we discuss is microbotox; the technique, pricing and aftercare are on the microbotox page.
What does a consultation cost?
An aesthetics consultation is $200, credited toward treatment.
