“…Results also show that regardless of the variations in density of pores in the different ethnic groups we studied, 15 an increased pore density correlates with the presence of enlarged pore. Another parameter that was also known to be associated with enlarged pore is the elongation of pores 16‐18 . Even if we did not study the age‐related increased elongation of enlarged pores, we show that a strong correlation exists between more elongated shapes and the enlargement of pores.…”

Pores are apertures at the surface of a tegument that enable input or output of gases or fluids. Therefore, stricto sensu, pores of the skin correspond to the outlets of the eccrine sweat glands and of the pilosebaceous units. Sweat glands are relatively simple structures with an outlet of 5-10 µm in diameter. 1 Pilosebaceous units are more complex. They consist of the hair follicle, located deep in the dermis, arrector pili muscles, sebaceous gland, and the hair shaft. Their outlet is, normally, 40-80 µm in diameter. 2 Under certain circumstances, the outlet of the facial pilosebaceous units can greatly enlarge, leading to the formation of conspicuous cuvettes that confer a "golf ball"like aspect to the skin and that are called pores by laypeople. 3 These visible structures are benign, but a cosmetic defect of most concerns for people affected. Still, studies on enlarged facial pores are sparse. In addition to the studies we refer above

“…In the study, we found out that as pores getting more obvious, furrow length decreasing, furrow width becoming larger, and small closed polygons merging into large ones, the skin is seen rougher than before. Jung HJ et al, 16 also performed that pore counts increased with age and the increment was huge between 30s and 40s years, while there is no significant difference by gender. Lee SJ et al, 17 reviewed the major causes of pores enlargement, which includes high sebum excretion, decreased elasticity around pores and increased hair follicle volume.…”

Human skin is the biggest organ in the body, which has a lot of characteristics and fundamental functions. On one hand, skin directly contacts the environment and can be influenced by chronological ages and environment changes, like humidity and temperature.On the other hand, skin can protect from Ultraviolet light. Skin is smooth, while the surface is not even due to the skin micro-relief, which is a pattern of the network consisting of furrows, polygonal forms, and pores. (Figure 1). Skin micro-relief is one of the most important parameters of skin when mentioned in skin condition assessment and skin detection.According to previous research, there are two main methods to evaluate skin micro-relief, which is using replica to get a copy of skin micro-relief, or using non-invasive devices to take the twodimensional or three-dimensional images of skin micro-relief, like microscopy. These methods have their own merits. The replica can get the real and integrated topography of skin micro-relief, but it needs

“…Aging and its associated collagen modifications reduce tissue remodeling by matrix metalloproteinases and decrease the structural and mechanical integrity of collagen fibers 28 . It was assumed that pores would be more noticeable with older age as they become larger and deeper 8,29 . With age, collagen breaks down, causing skin to lose its elasticity.…”

“…7 The therapeutic approaches used to treat this problem include topical retinoids, chemical peeling, intense pulsed light and systemic treatments, such as isotretinoin and oral contraceptives; however, their effects in different cases are variable. 8 Moreover, certain therapies may lead to pronounced adverse effects, such as the teratogenic effect of oral isotretinoin as well as the hypercoagulability and breast tenderness caused by oral contraceptives. 9 The used treatment options were generally safe and well tolerated in all cases.…”

Enlarged facial pores are common cosmetic concerns that are attributed to multiple factors. Excess sebum production, decreased skin elasticity, and increased hair follicle volume are the three main causes of enlarged pores. Other factors include sex, aging, excessive sun exposure and improper use of cosmetic products. 1 Due to great psychological impact, people have been trying to find treatment for this problem. Many treatment options are available including isotretinoin, chemical peeling, and laser therapy. 2Microbotox has been proved to be effective in improving the sheen and texture of the skin, as well as decreasing sweat and sebum production and enlarged pores as it causes atrophy of sebaceous glands, which subsequently causes tightening of the skin envelope. 3 Microneedles (MNs) can create hundreds of reversible microchannels in non-invasive manner to enhance transdermal drug delivery and promote collagen production. 4 Depending on the previously mentioned data, this study aimed to compare the efficacy and longevity of intradermal microbotox

Analysis of the number of enlarged pores according to site, age, and sex

Abstract: The number of enlarged pores differs depending on body site and increased with age. The enlarged pore counts correlate with wrinkle severity and the correlation varies depending on the body site.
