Open pores occur when hair follicles become enlarged due to excess sebum production, sweat accumulation, dead skin cells, or bacterial buildup. The underarm region is especially prone to such issues because it remains warm, moist, and frequently exposed to friction and shaving. Over time, this can lead to visible pores, pigmentation, ingrown hairs, and rough texture.
Common causes include:
Frequent shaving or waxing
Use of harsh deodorants or chemical-based creams
Excessive sweating and bacterial activity
Hormonal imbalance
Clogged pores due to dead skin buildup
Poor hygiene or inadequate exfoliation
While open pores in the underarm area are not a medical emergency, they can significantly impact confidence and comfort. Treating them helps:
Reduce the appearance of enlarged pores
Improve underarm texture and tone
Minimize dark patches or pigmentation
Prevent bacterial infections and odor
Boost confidence in wearing sleeveless outfits
Our clinic offers a combination of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments designed specifically for the delicate underarm area. Each procedure aims to reduce pore size, enhance skin smoothness, and promote regeneration.
1. Chemical Peels
Gentle underarm peels help exfoliate dead skin cells, remove trapped oil and dirt, and unclog pores. Peels containing glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid help resurface the skin and refine its texture. Regular sessions lighten pigmentation and make pores less visible.
2. Microdermabrasion
This painless exfoliation technique removes the top layer of dead cells and promotes new cell growth. It enhances smoothness, reduces pore visibility, and improves skin brightness.
3. Laser Treatments
Laser therapy helps minimize enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin. It tightens the pores naturally while improving overall tone and texture. The procedure is safe for Indian skin types and delivers long-lasting results.
4. Microneedling with RF (Radiofrequency)
Microneedling combined with radiofrequency is an advanced technique that targets deeper layers of skin to boost collagen and elastin. It helps shrink pores, improve firmness, and even out the skin surface without damaging the top layer.
5. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
PRP uses your body’s own platelets to rejuvenate the underarm skin. Growth factors in the plasma help refine pores, heal damaged tissue, and reduce pigmentation naturally.
6. Carbon Laser Peel
A highly effective treatment for oily and congested pores, the carbon laser peel deeply cleanses and tightens the skin. It eliminates bacteria, reduces sweat gland activity, and provides a smooth, refreshed underarm area.
7. Medical Skincare Regimen
To maintain results, our dermatologists design a personalized skincare routine with gentle cleansers, pore-refining toners, and non-comedogenic moisturizers suitable for sensitive underarm skin.
Noticeably smaller pores and smoother skin texture
Reduction in underarm darkness and roughness
Improved confidence and hygiene
Long-lasting results with minimal downtime
Tailored treatment suitable for all skin types
Post-treatment care is crucial for maintaining results. Our dermatologists provide a customized aftercare plan that includes:
Avoiding harsh deodorants or alcohol-based products
Using mild cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers
Keeping the area dry and clean
Regular exfoliation under expert guidance
Sun protection for exposed areas
These steps help sustain your results and prevent the recurrence of open pores or pigmentation.
