Pore Shrinking

Enlarged pores are one of the most common skin concerns—and one of the most frequently searched online. While pores can’t technically disappear, the right mix of professional treatments and targeted skincare can make them look dramatically smaller, smoother, and more refined.


At Karee Hays Esthetics in Nashville, we use a signature pore-refining protocol that includes a PRX seriesUltraClear (3DMiracl) laserGlow Facials, and medical-grade KH skincare formulated to improve texture, clarity, and pore visibility.


If you’re trying to learn how to shrink poreshow to minimize pore size, or the best treatments for large pores, this is where we start.

Why Pores Look Large  


People often Google “why are my pores so big?” and it usually comes down to:


  • Congestion or buildup inside the pore

  • Loss of collagen that supports pore structure

  • Sun damage and rough surface texture

  • Genetics and oil production

Our approach focuses on tightening the pore walls, smoothing the skin surface, and keeping pores consistently clear.

Our Signature Pore-Refining Protocol  


This customized combination targets pore enlargement from every angle.

PRX Series: One of the Best Treatments for Large Pores


PRX is a no-peel, no-downtime biorevitalization treatment that stimulates collagen and brightens dull skin—making it one of the most popular searches for PRX for pores.

How PRX helps minimize pore size:

  • Tightens and firms pore walls

  • Smooths uneven texture

  • Reduces buildup that stretches pores

  • Brightens the complexion

A series of treatments gives the most visible, long-lasting improvement.

UltraClear (3DMiracl) Laser: Advanced Resurfacing for Pores + Texture


If you’ve searched for “best laser for pores” or “how to treat large pores with lasers,” UltraClear is often the top answer. This next-generation fractional laser resurfaces the skin and rebuilds collagen for deeper, more dramatic improvement.


UltraClear benefits for pore appearance:

  • Strengthens the collagen around each pore

  • Smooths deeper texture irregularities

  • Improves brightness and clarity

  • Creates a tighter, more refined skin surface

UltraClear is ideal for patients who want stronger pore and texture correction.

Glow Facials Every 6–8 Weeks: Pore-Clearing Maintenance


Our signature Glow Facial is essential for maintaining smooth, clear pores between laser or PRX sessions.


Glow Facial benefits:

  • Deep cleans clogged pores

  • Gently exfoliates rough texture

  • Boosts radiance and smoothness

  • Prevents buildup that makes pores appear larger

Consistent Glow Facials every 6–8 weeks help keep pores refined long-term.

KH Skincare Routine for Pore Refinement


Many people search for “best skincare for pores”—and the answer is a combination of exfoliation, resurfacing, brightening, and barrier support. This KH routine pairs perfectly with professional treatments.

Daily Pore-Refining Essentials

For daily exfoliation to brighten skin, loosen buildup, and keep pores clear.

To balance and hydrate the skin barrier, supporting smoother, calmer pores.

To smooth texture and refine pore appearance over time. Our nightly retinol treatment boosts cell turnover and improves clarity.

Weekly Pore Treatment

Use our once-weekly at-home peel to maintain resurfacing, prevent buildup, and keep the skin looking bright and smooth. 

Why This Protocol Works


Each step addresses a different reason pores appear enlarged:


  • PRX → collagen stimulation + clarity

  • UltraClear laser → resurfacing + pore tightening

  • Glow Facial → deep pore cleansing + maintenance

  • KH Skincare → daily exfoliation + retinol support + improved texture

Together, this protocol helps pores look noticeably smaller, tighter, and more refined—both immediately and over time.
