I finally had this procedure done and wanted to let people know about my results. The pores on my nose are huge after years of having really oil skin/blackheads and extracting improperly, in a way that damaged my skin. So my nose has a combination of enlarged/damaged pores.

Recently, I moved to the Southwest, and my pores were looking even worse. I guess the combination of dry air and heat made them look like these huge holes. I felt so self-conscious. I had thought about getting botox for my pores before, and watching my skin get worse was the motivator I needed to finally try it. The idea is that the oil production/blackhead weaken the muscles around the pore and eventually make it difficult for them to contract/close.

I paid about $225 to get botox injected into my nose. Only one doctor in the area who I tried to contact would do it. At first, I didn't notice any improvement, and was very disappointed. It's been two months now, though, and I definitely see improvement. My nose does not look flawless because there is still scarring, but the pores definitely look better, probably at least 50% improvement. I think I will get laser treatment done immediately after my next botox treatment to get the best results and hopefully permanently reverse some of the scarring of these pores.

Hope this was helpful! I know there are other people struggling with the same issue.
