Enlarged pores are the skin woe that just won’t quit—whether you’re dealing with oily skin, acne scars, or the joys of aging. If serums, peels, or 12-step routines aren’t shrinking them, it might be time to ditch the surface-level stuff and go deeper. PicoSure laser treatments in Newport Beach offer a breakthrough option that clears out clogged pores, smooths skin texture, and stimulates collagen—all in fewer sessions and with no downtime.

Implementation Tactics
Why Enlarged Pores Happen in the First Place
Blame oil, sun, or your DNA—pores get larger when they’re clogged, inflamed, or surrounded by sagging skin. As collagen breaks down over time, the skin loses the elasticity that once kept pores tight and barely visible. That’s why topical products only go so far; they don’t rebuild what your skin actually needs—support from within.
Enter PicoSure: Picosecond Precision for Pore Tightening
Unlike traditional lasers that use heat and longer pulses, PicoSure uses ultra-fast bursts (a trillionth of a second!) to shatter pigment, stimulate collagen, and smooth skin. This minimizes the heat damage that can cause inflammation—making it perfect for treating pores without downtime.
PicoSure works deep within the dermis, triggering the body’s healing response and laying down fresh collagen to help tighten the skin around each pore.
For those struggling with acne scars, pigmentation, and rough texture in addition to large pores, PicoSure offers a triple win—all with fewer side effects than traditional ablative lasers.
Why Newport Beach Clients Prefer PicoSure
Sun damage, ocean air, and SPF-forgetting beach days can really take a toll on skin. That’s why more locals are turning to PicoSure—not just for pore refinement, but for full-face rejuvenation. Whether you’re prepping for an event or just want to glow up for your own satisfaction, Cefalù Beaute in Newport Beach offers custom PicoSure protocols based on your skin type and goals.
Bonus: PicoSure is great for people who want a laser treatment that doesn’t come with peeling, redness, or days of hiding indoors.
Results: What to Expect and How Fast
Most patients begin seeing improvements after the first session—skin feels smoother, tone looks more even, and pores appear smaller. Full results develop after 3–5 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, as collagen remodeling kicks in. Best of all? There’s zero downtime—you can literally go from laser to latte the same day.

FAQs
1. Is PicoSure painful?
Most patients describe it as a snapping sensation—similar to a rubber band. It’s more comfortable than older lasers, and numbing cream can be used. Sessions are quick and tolerable.
2. Can PicoSure be used on active acne?
PicoSure isn’t used to treat active breakouts directly, but it helps improve the appearance of post-acne scarring and pore texture. For acne-prone skin, it can reduce congestion and inflammation over time.
3. How long do results last for pore reduction?
Results are long-lasting but depend on age, skin type, and skincare habits. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help preserve results, especially if you’re dealing with oily skin or sun exposure.
4. Is PicoSure better than microneedling for pores?
PicoSure penetrates deeper and stimulates collagen more effectively for many clients, especially for textured skin and pigmentation. It’s also less invasive and comes with no downtime. However, microneedling may be a better option for those with deeper acne scars or on a tighter budget.
5. What should I avoid after a PicoSure treatment?
Skip retinoids, exfoliants, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours. Always wear SPF—even on cloudy days. Your skin will be more photosensitive after treatment, so protection is key.
