Large Pores Treatment in
Collierville, TN
Pores don’t actually open and close, no matter what your favorite serum claims on the label. What happens is simpler and a lot more frustrating. Oil, lost collagen, and years of sun exposure stretch them out until they’re just visibly bigger, and no toner is going to shrink them back down. At Embrace Skin and Wellness, we look at what’s actually causing your pores to look the way they do, then treat that instead of masking it for a few hours.
Why Pore Minimizers and Toners Don't Actually Work
Here’s the honest answer nobody selling you a $40 serum wants to give. Most pore-minimizing products work by pulling moisture out of the top layer of your skin, which makes the surface look tighter for a few hours. That’s a temporary illusion, not a fix.
The real problem sits deeper than that. It’s in the collagen structure supporting each pore and in the sebaceous gland producing the oil that stretches it out in the first place. A toner never reaches either of those. That’s why so many people cycle through product after product and still see the same pores staring back at them in the mirror.
Why Do Pores Look Bigger?
Let’s clear up the biggest myth first. Pores are not little doors that open when you’re hot and close when you splash cold water on your face. They’re fixed openings in your skin, and what changes is how stretched or visible they look. Here’s what actually drives that.
Pores don’t open and close, that idea is a myth that’s been around forever
Extra oil production pushes the pore opening outward from the inside
Losing collagen and elastin weakens the support structure around each pore
Dead skin cells build up around the edges and make the opening look wider
Years of sun exposure thicken the outer skin layer and make it less elastic
Oily skin and genetics play a real role, some people are just more prone to this
Old acne scarring can leave pores looking stretched long after the breakouts are gone

How We Treat Large Pores in Collierville
Once we know what’s actually driving your pores, we can pick a treatment that works on that specific cause instead of guessing. For most patients, that treatment is Agnes RF.
Agnes RF for Enlarged Pores
Agnes RF uses a tiny, micro-insulated needle that goes directly into the pore and delivers radiofrequency energy right where it’s needed. That energy contracts the sebaceous gland, producing less excess oil and tightening the collagen around it. This is the part that sets it apart from most pore treatments on the market. It’s not resurfacing the surface; it’s working on the structure underneath that’s causing the problem in the first place.
We also offer supporting treatments that pair well with Agnes RF or stand on their own depending on your skin:
- Collagen P.I.N. Microneedling builds collagen support around each pore
- Scarlet SRF combines radiofrequency and microneedling for texture and tightening
- NouvaDerm 1927nm Thulium laser resurfaces the skin and stimulates deeper collagen production
- Medical-grade facials handle deep cleansing and extractions for congested, clogged pores
Large Pores Treatment Cost in Collierville
Pricing depends on which treatment best suits your skin, whether that’s Agnes RF on its own or paired with microneedling or a facial. We confirm your exact cost during your complimentary consultation once we know what your skin actually needs. That way you’re never guessing or paying for something that doesn’t apply to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes large pores on the face?
Pores look bigger because of oil buildup stretching the opening, collagen loss weakening the structure around it, dead skin piling up at the edges, and years of sun exposure thickening the skin. Genetics and oily skin type play a role too. It’s rarely just one cause on its own.
Can large pores be shrunk permanently?
Pores themselves can’t disappear, they’re a normal part of your skin. What can change permanently is the collagen support around them. Treatments like Agnes RF and microneedling rebuild that structure, so pores look tighter and stay that way longer than anything topical ever could.
What is the best treatment for large pores?
It depends on what’s actually driving your pores. For most patients we see, Agnes RF gets the best results because it works directly on the sebaceous gland. Some patients do better with a combination, like microneedling paired with a medical-grade facial.
Is microneedling or a chemical peel better for large pores?
Microneedling builds collagen underneath the skin, which addresses the structural cause. A chemical peel works more on the surface layer and helps with texture and dead skin buildup. Many patients get better results combining both rather than choosing just one.
How much does a pore-minimizing facial cost in Collierville?
Cost depends on which treatment or combination fits your skin, whether that’s a standalone facial, Agnes RF, or a mix of treatments. We confirm your exact pricing at your complimentary consultation once we know what your skin actually needs.
Why do my pores look bigger as I age?
As you age, your skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, and that loss weakens the support structure holding each pore tight. Years of sun exposure add to it. The pores were always there, they just look more stretched out over time.
What skincare ingredients help reduce pore size?
Retinoids, salicylic acid, and niacinamide can help with oil control and dead skin buildup at home. They support your results but don’t reach the collagen loss or sebaceous gland activity underneath, which is why professional treatment gets you further.
How long do results from a pore treatment last?
Results build gradually as your body produces new collagen, and they tend to hold up well since you’re changing the actual structure, not just the surface. Maintenance sessions can extend results further depending on your skin and lifestyle.
Does Agnes RF hurt?
Most patients describe mild discomfort during treatment, similar to a series of small pinches. We use numbing beforehand to keep you comfortable. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, so we walk you through what to expect at your consultation.
Is treatment safe for oily and acne prone skin?
Yes. In fact, oily and acne-prone skin often benefits the most since excess oil is one of the main reasons pores look enlarged in the first place. We evaluate your specific skin before recommending any treatment plan.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your skin condition and treatment goals, which we go over in detail during your consultation. Some patients see solid improvement with a single Agnes RF session, others benefit from a short series spaced a few weeks apart.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, every consultation at Embrace is complimentary, including virtual options if you’d rather not come in first. We look at your skin, talk through what’s actually causing your pores, and recommend a plan before you commit to anything.
