Large Pores & Rough Skin Texture
Yaan Clinic · Gangnam, Seoul
Large pores and rough skin texture come from oil, collagen loss, sun damage and acne scarring. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, a 3D Meta-Vu analysis measures pores and texture, then doctors combine Potenza RF microneedling, Skin Botox with Xeomin, skin boosters such as Juvelook and Rejuran, and HydraFacial to smooth skin and make pores less visible.

Large pores and rough skin texture are visible openings and uneven surface on the skin, usually around the nose, cheeks and forehead, caused by oil production, loss of elasticity, sun damage and acne scarring. At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, pores and texture are treated with RF microneedling, skin boosters, Skin Botox, laser programs and HydraFacial, chosen after a 3D Meta-Vu skin analysis that measures pores and texture.
Why do pores look large?
Pores look larger when they are stretched by oil and debris, when the surrounding skin loses collagen and sags, or when acne has left scars. Genetics and skin type set the baseline, and ageing and sun exposure make pores more visible over time.
- Oil-driven pores – common in oily and combination skin, often with blackheads.
- Elasticity-driven pores – teardrop-shaped pores on the cheeks as collagen declines.
- Scar-related texture – rolling or boxcar acne scars that make skin uneven.
- Dry, dull texture – dehydration and build-up of dead skin cells.
Pores cannot be erased, because they are a normal part of skin. Treatment aims to make them less visible and the surface smoother.
Which treatments help large pores and rough texture?
The most effective approach combines collagen stimulation for elasticity-type pores with surface care for oil and texture. RF microneedling, skin boosters and Skin Botox are Yaan's main tools, supported by lasers and HydraFacial.

Does RF microneedling shrink pores?
RF microneedling can make pores look smaller by tightening the surrounding skin and rebuilding collagen. It works best for elasticity-related pores and acne-scar texture, typically over a series of sessions.
At Yaan Clinic, Potenza uses single-use, EO-gas-sterilized genuine tips. It can be paired with Juvelook in Yaan's "Potenza Pumping x Juvelook Skin Booster" three-session package, with LDM Recovery Therapy and a Yaan-formulated topical solution afterwards. Read more on our microneedling in Seoul page.
What does Skin Botox do for pores?
Skin Botox places very small amounts of botulinum toxin just under the skin surface, which can reduce oiliness and the look of pores and fine texture. It does not freeze expression the way wrinkle Botox does.
Yaan Clinic uses genuine Xeomin by MERZ in the correct dosage, and Skin Botox is included in several published packages.
What if my texture is caused by acne scars?
Acne-scar texture usually needs collagen-building treatments such as RF microneedling and skin boosters, often across several sessions. Active acne should be controlled first.
See our acne scar treatment guide. Active, inflamed or cystic acne is a medical condition that belongs with a board-certified dermatologist for diagnosis and prescription treatment.
Good to know: Pore size is partly genetic, and no treatment removes pores permanently. Good daily cleansing, sun protection and non-comedogenic skincare help maintain results.
What combinations work well for pores and texture?
A typical plan combines one collagen-building treatment with one surface treatment. Your doctor will confirm the right sequence after analysis.
- Potenza plus Juvelook – RF microneedling with a collagen booster for pores and scars.
- Skin Botox plus HydraFacial – for oily, congested skin before an event.
- VIP Collagen Package – Meta-Vu, Skinvive 2 cc, Eye Rejuran 2 cc, Re2O, Skin Botox (Xeomin) and AirNox, listed at 2,300,000 KRW (excl. VAT).

How does Yaan Clinic analyze pores and texture?
Yaan Clinic uses a 3D Meta-Vu skin analyzer that maps pores, wrinkles, texture and pigmentation before treatment. This lets your doctor see whether oil, elasticity or scarring is the main driver and track changes over time.
The analysis is included in Yaan's published VIP packages and forms the basis of a 1:1 plan, rather than a one-size-fits-all menu. Learn more about the devices used on our equipment page.
