Methods: 20 patients suffering from enlarged pores recieved 3 consecutive sessions of CO2 fractional laser 4 weeks apart. Clinical and dermoscopic assessement were done to evaluate the results after each treatment session and 3 months after the last treatment. Results: Treating enlarged facial pores with CO2 fractional laser led to a mean improvement of 2.8 ± 0.92 corrosponding to moderate to marked improvement on quartile grading scale (0-4).
