Enlarged pores on the face can make your skin look more worn and unhealthy than it actually is. Show off an even, smooth complexion with a custom plan from Dr. Banerjee, MD.
Enlarged pores are practically a national obsession — with the multitude of inescapable multimedia images of glamorous faces airbrushed to impossibly unattainable perfection. The truth is that pores are a fact of life. They aren't invisible and everyone has them.
But not everyone knows how best to minimize the appearance of pores. The friend whose skin always looks like she just walked out of a facial? Want to know her secret? Regular skincare and laser treatments with an at-home regimen of medical-grade products.
It's not a single magic procedure. It's the right combination — and Dr. B knows exactly what your skin needs.

Oilier skin types produce more sebum that stretches the pore walls. Genetics largely determines how oily your skin is — but the right routine controls it.
UV breaks down the collagen that keeps pores tight. As that scaffolding weakens, pores stretch and become more visible — especially on the cheeks and nose.
As we age, the skin loses elasticity. Pores that held their shape at 25 start to sag and elongate — looking larger even though the underlying gland hasn't changed.
Dr. B mixes 2–4 of these into a customized plan for your skin — most people see real improvement in weeks.
From your first visit to your refined, smooth complexion — no mystery.

Cost depends entirely on which combination of treatments fits your skin. Dr. B builds the plan first and gives you the exact quote at your consultation — before you commit to anything.
"My nose and cheek pores were the bane of my existence — every foundation I tried sank into them and made them look worse. Dr. B mapped out a plan: BBL HERO, monthly microdermabrasion, and a retinol she had me start at home. Three months later, my skin doesn't 'eat' my foundation anymore. Game-changer."
"I'm in my 40s with oily skin and the pores on my T-zone were huge. I did a Halo Laser session and a PRP microneedling — combined with the skincare Dr. B set me up with — and my skin is smoother now than it was in my 20s. People keep asking what foundation I'm using. I'm not wearing one."
The honest answers Dr. B would give you in the room.
Pores can't be permanently shrunk to a different size — but their appearance can be dramatically minimized. Clearing them out, building collagen around them, and keeping the surrounding skin tight makes them visually disappear. With the right combination plan, most people see substantial improvement in 8–12 weeks.
Pore strips remove the top of a clogged pore, which makes the pore look temporarily smaller. But they don't address oil production, collagen loss, or sun damage — the actual causes. The pore fills back in within days. They're a quick fix, not a treatment.
You'll feel smoother skin immediately after microdermabrasion. BBL HERO shows visible refinement in 2–4 weeks. Halo Laser and PRP build collagen over 8–12 weeks. The fastest visible "wow" comes from the combination — usually around the 6–8 week mark.
Generally: a gentle cleanser, a prescription-strength retinoid 3–5 nights/week, vitamin C in the morning, and SPF 50+ daily. We may add an oil-control or pore-targeting active depending on your skin. Dr. B builds your specific routine — most people end up with 4–5 products max.
Yes — when intensity and frequency are calibrated to your skin. Sensitive skin types often start with gentler approaches (medical skincare + light peels) before adding lasers. Dr. B will adjust the plan based on how your skin responds.
Without ongoing maintenance, yes — slowly. Oil keeps producing, sun damage accumulates, collagen continues to decline. That's why your plan includes a maintenance rhythm (usually 1–2 in-clinic visits/year + daily skincare) to hold your gains.
For BBL HERO, microdermabrasion, and skincare: no downtime. For Halo Laser: 3–5 days of social downtime. For PRP/microneedling: mild redness for 24–48 hours. We can sequence your plan so downtime fits your schedule.
