PORES ARE NOT DOORS

Pores do not open and close. They are small openings in the skin through which oil and sweat reach the surface.

Several factors are said to be associated with pores:
＋ Genetics
＋ Sebum (oil) production
＋ Age-related loss of skin elasticity
＋ Sun-induced collagen breakdown
＋ A build-up of oil and dead skin cells

Steam may temporarily soften surface debris, but it does not “open” pores. Cold water does not close them.

Although pores cannot be permanently removed, their appearance may be reduced with appropriate skincare, including daily sunscreen and, where suitable, retinol, professionally administered chemical peels and medical aesthetic treatments such as microneedling, selected laser or energy-based treatments for appropriately selected patients

Not every option is suitable for every skin type. Some treatments may cause irritation, pigmentation changes or other complications, particularly when used incorrectly.

Always consult an appropriately trained, HPCSA-registered medical practitioner for evidence-based, individualised care and the appropriate management of potential complications.

Pores are normal. The goal is healthier-looking skin, not poreless skin.

SKIN SCIENCE TUESDAYS

SIX TUESDAYS. SIX TOPICS. ONE MINUTE OF SKIN SCIENCE.

Introducing AAMSSA’s One-Minute Skin Science, a doctor-led series sharing clear, evidence-based information about skin health, aesthetic medicine and healthy ageing.

Join us every Tuesday for six weeks as we unpack one topic at a time, what happens in the skin, what the evidence says and why it matters for informed aesthetic care.

Our six topics:
1. Pores are not doors
2. Collagen and healthy ageing: Can skincare lift sagging skin?
3. Daily sun protection
4. Hormones and skin
5. Is there a right age to start aesthetic treatments?
6. Does men’s skin age differently?

Short science. Clear information. Safer, better-informed choices.

Always consult a qualified, appropriately trained and HPCSA-registered medical practitioner who practises evidence-based medicine and can recognise and manage potential complications.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT PRODUCT IS BEING USED?

Your safety starts before the procedure. Knowing which product will be used, where it comes from and whether it is appropriate for you helps you make an informed decision.

Before treatment, ask:
✅ What product will be used, and is it registered with or appropriately authorised by SAHPRA?
✅ Where was the product obtained?
✅ May I see the original packaging, batch number and expiry date?
✅ How do I know that the product has been stored correctly and is safe to use?
✅ Why is this treatment suitable for me, and what are the expected benefits, possible risks and alternatives?

SAHPRA provides a database of registered health products and warns that falsified or unregistered products may not have been properly evaluated for quality, safety and effectiveness.

You have the right to ask questions and receive clear answers before agreeing to treatment.

Always consult a qualified, appropriately trained and HPCSA-registered medical practitioner who practises evidence-based medicine and can recognise and manage potential complications.

BEFORE THE RESULT COMES THE RESEARCH.

Aesthetic medicine should be guided by evidence, not guesswork.

Evidence supports:

1️⃣ Authentic, SAHPRA-registered products
2️⃣ Precise, anatomy-based treatment
3️⃣ Appropriate, individualised dosing
4️⃣ Informed patient selection and risk management

Evidence guides the treatment. Clinical judgement personalises it. Patient safety remains central.

Evidence first. Regulation matters.

Always consult a qualified, HPCSA-registered medical practitioner who practises evidence-based medicine, complies with applicable laws and has a sound understanding of the relevant anatomy.

Ageing Happens at Every Layer – What Comes Next?

Understanding how the face ages is the first step. The next is choosing an appropriate, evidence-based treatment plan.

A responsible aesthetic approach may consider:

1️⃣ Skin quality – supporting hydration, texture, pigmentation and collagen
2️⃣ Muscle activity – addressing movement that contributes to expression lines
3️⃣ Volume changes – restoring volume only where appropriate
4️⃣ Facial support and contours – considering underlying structural changes
5️⃣ Overall facial balance – treating the face as a whole rather than focusing on a single line

Not every layer needs to be treated, and more treatment does not necessarily mean a better result. Treatment should be guided by scientific evidence, clinical expertise, your anatomy, health, concerns and individual goals.

Always consult an HPCSA-registered, qualified medical practitioner who practises evidence-based medicine and has a sound understanding of facial anatomy.

Ageing Happens at Every Layer

Facial ageing is more than skin deep. Over time, changes occur across multiple layers:

1. Bone – gradual structural changes reduce facial support
2. Fat compartments – volume may decrease or shift
3. Ligaments – supporting structures may weaken
4. Muscles – movement and muscle activity influence facial lines
5. Skin – collagen, elastin and hydration decline

Together, these changes may contribute to lines, volume loss, sagging and altered facial contours.

Every face ages differently. This is why responsible aesthetic treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment and an individualised approach, not simply treating a single line.

Always consult a HPCSA registered and qualified medical practitioner with a sound understanding of facial anatomy.
