Question 1

Why do pores dilate on the face?

Accepted Answer

Pores dilate primarily due to sebum accumulation, loss of skin elasticity, and chronic sun damage. Genetics also play a role: if your parents have large pores, you're likely to inherit them. With age, collagen decreases and skin loses firmness, making pores appear more pronounced. Dehydration and oxidative stress accelerate this process.

Question 2

What treatments does Santé use to minimize dilated pores?

Accepted Answer

At Santé, we combine three approaches: rejuvenation laser stimulates deep collagen and tightens skin; Hollywood peeling exfoliates and refines texture; skinboosters inject hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides to hydrate and improve firmness. This combination works in layers—surface, mid-dermis, and deep—achieving visible and lasting results.

Question 3

How many sessions do I need and when will I see results?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a protocol of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. First changes appear after the second session: visibly refined pores and more uniform texture. Optimal results emerge 2-3 months after completing the cycle, when new collagen is fully established.

Question 4

Does the treatment hurt and what's my downtime?

Accepted Answer

Laser and peeling produce controlled warmth; skinboosters are virtually painless. Downtime is minimal: mild redness for 24-48 hours and optional light flaking. You can resume your routine the next day. Avoid direct sun for one week and use SPF 50+. No age restrictions or major contraindications if your skin is healthy.
