Dr. Anju Methil Hosts Exosome Treatment Workshop for Hair and Skin Rejuvenation
August 4, 2025
Open pores don’t shut for good They’re vents.Sebum, age, and UV stretch the rim until the opening looks bigger than it really is. Treatments shrink the look, not the actual structure. Peels strip dead cell buildup. Microneedling rebuilds collagen. Lasers tighten the surrounding skin over months.
According to Dr. Anju Methil, Dermatologist in Andheri, Mumbai, “Pores aren’t a flaw.They’re a vent,The fix isn’t one product or one laser.Calm the oil,Wake up collagen. And protect with sunscreen every single day.Skip that last step and the work undoes itself fast.”
What Causes Open Pores on the Face?
Few things stretch the pore. Most patients have more than one of these going on at once.
- Excess Sebum: Oily skin keeps pumping oil and the rim gets dragged wider as dead cells pile up inside.
- Ageing: Collagen drops after 30 and skin can’t hold the follicle in shape anymore.
- Sun Damage: UV cuts collagen and thickens the rim, so what was a normal pore starts looking like a small dent.
- Genetics: Pore size is mostly inherited and you can only shrink the visibility, not the underlying setting.
A focused microneedling treatment in Mumbai wakes up collagen and tightens the rim from underneath.
Which Treatments Close Open Pores Permanently?
Clinic procedures plus the dull daily routine at home. Both matter. Skip either one and pores creep back.
- Chemical Peels: Salicylic and glycolic acid strip dead cells and clean out trapped buildup so the surface refines after a few sittings.
- Microneedling: Tiny pricks set off collagen production, skin tightens, pores look smaller after roughly 4 to 6 sessions.
- Q-Switch Laser: Settles oil glands, tightens skin, no peeling or downtime, results show across 4 to 6 weeks.
- Topical Retinoids: Prescription retinol pushes cell turnover and you won’t notice much for 8 weeks but then it just keeps working.
For another in-clinic option that resurfaces texture, see microdermabrasion results after one session.
Why Choose Dr. Anju Methil for Open Pore Treatment?
Dr. Anju Methil, founder of Skin and Shape Clinic and a dermatologist with 29+ years in the field, builds open pore plans around what each skin actually needs. No cookie-cutter protocol. Sometimes that’s a peel series. Sometimes microneedling is stacked with a Q-Switch laser. Mumbai humidity wrecks oily skin worse than most cities, so the plan gets adjusted for that too.
Equipment is FDA-approved, hygiene runs strict, and every session goes under direct medical supervision.
