Scarring, Texture & Enlarged Pores
Uneven texture, acne scarring and enlarged-looking pores build up over time, often after years of breakouts, sun and the natural slowing of collagen. At Dynamic Skin Services in Crawley, care begins with a Skin Rejuvenation Consultation where Brenda studies your skin, identifies what is driving the texture, then plans a considered treatment to help smooth the surface, soften the appearance of scarring and refine how pores look. Guide prices from $110.
Why texture, scarring and enlarged pores appear
Smooth, refined-looking skin depends on healthy collagen and an even surface. When either is disrupted, the skin can start to look rough, marked or coarse. Several things play a part:
- Past breakouts - acne and congestion can leave behind indented or uneven marks once the skin has settled.
- Slowing collagen - as collagen naturally softens with age, skin can look less firm and its texture less refined.
- Sun exposure - years of Australian sun coarsen the surface and can make pores look more obvious.
- Oil and congestion - active oil glands and trapped debris can stretch the look of pores, especially through the central face.
We focus on the cosmetic appearance of texture, scarring and pores. If a mark is new, changing, itchy or bleeding, please have it checked by your GP first, as that is outside what we assess here.
How Brenda approaches it
With over 25 years caring for skin in Perth, Brenda works one-on-one, never as a production line, so your skin is looked at properly before anything is recommended. Your first step is a Skin Rejuvenation Consultation in our Crawley rooms. Because scarring, texture and pores each respond differently, this assessment matters. Together you will:
- Look closely at your skin to understand the type of texture or scarring and how deep it sits
- Talk through your history, past breakouts, sun habits and what you have tried before
- Set realistic expectations, since results build gradually and most texture concerns suit a planned course rather than a single visit
- Outline a considered plan, with sensible aftercare and daily sun protection to help hold your results
We share honest, accurate information in line with Australian Consumer Law, so you understand what these treatments can realistically do before you begin.
Treatments that may help
If an in-clinic treatment suits your skin, that is decided together at your consultation, never assumed online. Most texture, scarring and enlarged-pore concerns are approached through:
- Skin Needling & Microdermabrasion - skin needling encourages the skin's own collagen to help smooth the look of scarring and texture, full face, neck and décolleté from $250. Microdermabrasion resurfaces the surface layer to refine texture and the look of pores, from $110. A Derma Peel Pro Facial from $275 combines resurfacing with a deeper refresh.
- Radiofrequency Skin Tightening - non-invasive RF to help firm and smooth the overall look of the skin, from $250.
- Signature Facials & LED - professional facials and Dermalux LED to support clearer, healthier-looking skin between resurfacing sessions.
These treatments help soften the appearance of scarring and refine texture rather than promising a fixed outcome, and how your skin responds varies from person to person. Not sure where to begin? A Skin Rejuvenation Consultation is the calm first step.

Frequently asked
Can skin needling remove my acne scars completely?
Skin needling is designed to help soften the appearance of scarring and smooth uneven texture by encouraging your skin's own collagen, rather than remove scars entirely. Many people notice a gradual improvement over a planned course, though results vary from person to person and depend on the depth and age of the scarring. Brenda sets realistic expectations at your consultation.
What is the difference between skin needling and microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion resurfaces the surface layer of skin to refine texture and help the look of pores, with little to no downtime, so it suits a lighter refresh. Skin needling works a little deeper to encourage collagen and help soften the appearance of scarring and more established texture, usually over a short course. Brenda helps you choose the right one, or the right sequence, at your consultation.
Can anything make enlarged pores smaller?
Pores cannot be permanently shrunk, but keeping them clear and encouraging firmer, smoother skin can help them look less obvious. Regular resurfacing such as microdermabrasion, along with collagen-focused skin needling and good daily care, can all help refine how pores appear. We talk through what is realistic for your skin at your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
It depends on the treatment. Microdermabrasion usually involves little to no downtime, while skin needling can bring a day or two of mild redness or a warm, flushed look as the skin settles and refreshes. Most people find the treatments comfortable, and Brenda explains simple aftercare so you know what to expect before you begin.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. Your first step is a Skin Rejuvenation Consultation in Crawley, so Brenda can assess the type of texture or scarring and your skin properly before suggesting anything. You can book online through our booking page or call the clinic on 0411 596 138.
Consultation first. Always.
