Pores & texture · Surry Hills, Sydney
Enlarged pores.
A clearer plan for your skin.
If every new product promises smoother skin, it can be hard to know what is worth trying.
At TCMA, we help you understand what you are noticing and choose a realistic next step. Start with a review of your skin and routine, without needing to choose a treatment first.
Complexion Consultation: $100 deposit, redeemable against treatment only.
Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
Normal skin has texture.
Your questions still matter.
Pores are a normal feature of skin. Oiliness, congestion and changes in firmness can make them more noticeable. Care aims to improve their appearance, rather than promise pore-free skin.
Congestion
Blackheads and blocked pores may be part of the picture. If you also have breakouts, we consider those in your assessment.
Uneven texture
Roughness and indented scars are different concerns. Understanding the pattern helps avoid choosing a treatment for the wrong reason.
Make room for a simpler routine
Less trial and error.
More understanding.
Bring the products that helped, the ones that irritated and the questions you have not had answered.
We will talk through your priorities and what a useful change would mean to you. A consultation is a place to understand your options before deciding.
Care options at TCMA
Give each step
a clear purpose.
Gentle cleansing, suitable non-comedogenic products and sun protection can support your routine. Harsh scrubbing or squeezing may increase irritation. More exfoliation is not always the answer.
Routine review
Our dermal team can review your products, skin history and sensitivity. Bring photographs of product labels if that is easier.
Complexion treatments
Discuss whether Hydrafacial or a suitable peel belongs in your plan. Procedure choice follows assessment.
Texture assessment
Where texture is the main concern, explore SkinPen and Pico Laser at TCMA with your practitioner. These are options to assess, not a prescription for every pore concern.
Recovery and risks vary by procedure and may include irritation, redness, infection or pigment changes. Suitability, alternatives and expected recovery are discussed before treatment. Results vary.

Questions you may have.
Can pores disappear completely?
Pores are a normal part of skin. The aim is to make them less noticeable, with realistic expectations about what skincare and treatment can achieve.
Are enlarged pores the same as acne scars?
No. If you are unsure what you are seeing, an assessment can help. Read about acne scarring.
Should I exfoliate more often?
Not necessarily. Scrubbing and irritation can make pores more noticeable. Discuss your routine before adding more active products.
Can I book if I also have acne?
Yes. Tell us about your breakouts and current medicines. Persistent or inflamed acne may need medical assessment.
Do I have to book a treatment course?
No. Start with a consultation to understand your options, costs and limitations. You can take time to decide.
