If you've looked in the mirror and noticed large, visible pores, you may have wondered if there's a solution beyond skincare products. The good news is that Agnes radiofrequency (RF) microneedling has become one of the most effective treatments for pore size reduction and overall skin rejuvenation. At Providence Dermatology in Providence, UT, Dr. Travis James helps patients throughout Cache Valley and Logan improve uneven skin texture, stimulate collagen production, and restore a healthy skin glow with this advanced treatment. 

What causes large pores? 

Understanding the causes of large pores can help explain why certain treatments, like Agnes RF microneedling, are so effective. Pores can appear larger due to genetics, excess oil production, aging, and sun damage. Over time, collagen and elastin naturally decrease, causing skin to lose firmness and make pores more noticeable. While topical skincare can help reduce oil and maintain healthy skin, these solutions rarely address the deeper structural issues that lead to long-term changes in pore size. That's why professional treatments are often the most effective option.. 

How does RF microneedling work for pore size reduction? 

RF microneedling for large pores combines the precision of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency energy. The microneedles create tiny micro-channels in the skin, while RF energy delivers controlled heat deep below the surface. This dual action triggers natural collagen production, tightening the skin and minimizing pore appearance over time. The treatment not only supports pore size reduction but also improves fine lines and acne scars, and smoothes uneven skin texture for a more refined look. 

What results can you expect from RF microneedling? 

Patients often notice visible improvements after a series of treatments. Pores look smaller, skin feels firmer, and tone appears more even. Many patients also appreciate that results develop gradually as collagen production continues to build in the weeks following each session. Along with smaller-looking pores, you may see additional benefits such as:  

  • Smoother, more even skin texture 
  • Reduced appearance of acne scars 
  • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles 
  • Improved firmness and elasticity 

What is the treatment experience like? 

One of the reasons RF microneedling is such a popular pore size reduction treatment is that it requires minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures. A numbing cream is usually applied before the session, making the treatment tolerable. Afterward, mild redness or swelling may occur, but most patients are able to return to normal routines within a day. This balance of effective results and quick recovery makes it especially appealing for those with busy lifestyles who still want healthier, smoother skin.
