Dilated or enlarged pores can make the skin look rough, aged, and tired—even when you're doing everything right with your skincare.

At HALOS, you’ll find a team that listens, cares, and guides you step by step toward naturally healthy, refined skin.

What Really Causes Pores to Look Enlarged?
Most people think dilated pores are caused by just oily skin—but the reality is more complex. Your pores may become enlarged due to increased sebum production, loss of skin firmness, dead cell buildup, or even chronic sun exposure. Over time, this creates an uneven skin texture that no amount of cleansing or home remedies can fully resolve. Hormonal changes and aging also play a role, leading to reduced collagen production and stretched pore openings.
At HALOS, we dig deeper to understand what’s really happening in your skin. Through a detailed consultation, we assess how your lifestyle, environment, and skincare habits may be contributing to the issue. Our goal is to address not just the pores themselves but also the root causes behind them. By doing so, we set your skin up for long-term improvement rather than short-term fixes. We believe true beauty comes from restoring balance—both on the skin’s surface and beneath it.
- Excess oil and clogged follicles
- Decrease in collagen and skin support
- Overuse of harsh or comedogenic products
- Hormonal shifts or underlying acne
- Exposure to Chennai’s heat and UV rays
- Poor exfoliation and irregular skincare routine
Our Signature Pore-Refining Treatments
At HALOS, we use a combination of the most effective treatments available to reduce pore size and smooth the skin.

Each treatment is performed under medical supervision with utmost safety. Whether you're struggling with oily T-zones, uneven texture, or residual acne marks, we’ll create a treatment schedule that’s both powerful and gentle. In just a few sessions, you’ll see visible improvement in skin tone, texture, and clarity. We use the latest technology trusted by dermatologists worldwide—now made accessible to you in Chennai, at HALOS.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
From the moment you walk into HALOS, we want you to feel heard, safe, and well-informed. Your treatment journey begins with a thorough skin consultation, during which we analyze the depth of pore dilation, your skin type, and any underlying conditions like acne or pigmentation. Based on this, we suggest a customized plan, which may include 3–6 sessions depending on the severity of the pores and the chosen procedures.
Post-treatment care is just as important as the procedure itself. We provide you with step-by-step skincare instructions to prevent irritation, protect healing skin, and extend the results. You may notice mild redness or sensitivity immediately after certain treatments, but this fades quickly. Many of our clients see results within the first few sessions, with smoother skin, reduced shine, and better makeup application. Our aftercare support ensures you're never left wondering what's next.
- Personalized consultation before any procedure
- Mild downtime based on treatment type
- Redness or dryness that fades within days
- Visible tightening within 2–3 sessions
- Ongoing monitoring and skin reassessment
- Post-care skincare products and sun protection plan
Home Skincare Support for Pore Maintenance
We believe healthy skin is a journey that continues well beyond the clinic. At HALOS, we empower our clients with customized at-home skincare plans that support and extend your in-clinic results. Pores need the right balance of oil control, hydration, and exfoliation—and that’s exactly what we guide you toward. No more overwhelming shelves of products or YouTube fads that worsen the issue.
We recommend dermatologist-tested products such as retinol serums, niacinamide creams, gel-based cleansers, and light moisturizers that keep pores clear and skin hydrated. We also educate you on habits that prevent clogging, like cleaning your makeup brushes, using non-comedogenic makeup, and applying sunscreen daily. Our mission is to give you long-lasting clarity, not just temporary fixes.

Frequently asked questions
Dilated pores are simply enlarged openings on the skin's surface, often due to excess oil, dead skin buildup, or loss of elasticity. They tend to appear more prominent on the nose, cheeks, and forehead. In Chennai’s humid weather, sweat and pollution can make pores look even larger and more visible.
Yes, absolutely. While you can’t erase pores completely (since they’re a natural part of your skin), we can significantly reduce their appearance. Treatments like chemical peels, laser toning, and microneedling help tighten the skin, clear blockages, and improve texture—making pores look much smaller.
Aging, sun damage, oily skin, and clogged pores are common reasons. As collagen breaks down with age, the skin loses firmness, causing pores to stretch. Without proper care, they may remain open and visible. That’s why we recommend proactive treatments that boost skin health from the inside out.
Yes, most treatments designed for dilated pores also target blackheads and oil congestion. Procedures like HydraFacials or light exfoliation remove trapped debris and prevent future clogging, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look. It’s a double benefit in one treatment.
At HALOS, all treatments are tailored to your skin type—whether oily, dry, or sensitive. Dr. Prasanthi G, MD, evaluates your skin before suggesting any procedure, ensuring safety and results. Indian skin, especially in Chennai’s climate, needs thoughtful care—and that’s what we specialize in.
