Enlarged Pores / Blackheads
Enlarged pores and blackheads are common skin concerns that can make the skin appear uneven, dull, and textured. At Lilyum Clinic, we understand that achieving smooth, refined skin requires more than just surface-level treatments — it takes advanced technology, expert care, and a personalized skincare plan designed specifically for your skin type.

What Causes Enlarged Pores and Blackheads?
Pores become enlarged when oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and impurities accumulate and stretch them over time. This buildup can also oxidize when exposed to air, forming visible blackheads.
Several factors can contribute to this condition, including:
Excess oil production (common in oily or combination skin)
Hormonal changes that trigger increased sebum
Sun damage that weakens pore walls
Improper cleansing or skincare routine
Ageing, as collagen loss reduces skin elasticity around pores
Although enlarged pores are not harmful, they can impact your skin’s appearance and texture.
Treatments for Enlarged Pores and Blackheads at Lilyum Clinic
Our treatments are designed to unclog pores, control oil production, and refine skin texture, helping you achieve smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.
1. HydraFacial Deep Cleansing Treatment
This powerful facial exfoliates and cleanses using vortex suction, removing blackheads, oil, and debris while hydrating the skin.
2. Carbon Laser Peel
Also known as the “Hollywood Peel,” this laser treatment vaporizes dead skin, tightens pores, and reduces blackheads for a visibly smoother complexion.
3. Microneedling (Dermapen)
Stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity, helping to reduce pore size and refine uneven texture.
4. Chemical Peels
Medical-grade peels exfoliate surface buildup, clear congestion, and smooth the skin by dissolving blackheads and minimizing pores.
5. LED Light Therapy
Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria and regulates oil production, while red light promotes healing and collagen renewal.
Why Choose Lilyum To Treat Lines And Wrinkles?
Winner of London’s Best Cosmetic Clinic, our team of highly experienced cosmetic doctors specialise in treating lines and wrinkles.
Dr Leah Clinic perform thousands of wrinkle reduction treatments every year including, anti-wrinkle injections, Dermal filler and Profhilo treatments.
Our doctors offer FREE consultations for anti-wrinkle treatments (anti-wrinkle injections, dermal filler, profhilo) or £50 consultation fee for Dr Leah. At consultation our doctors will be able to advise which treatments you will benefit from, for example if your lines are very deep and will not be removed by anti-wrinkle injections alone, you may benefit from resurfacing laser prior to anti-wrinkle injections as this would decrease the wrinkle depth. If you have lines on your lower face, you may benefit from dermal filler as anti-wrinkle injections cannot remove lines on the lower face. Your Dr Leah Clinic doctor will also be able to recommend which skin care products will work best to prevent wrinkles.
Dr Leah Clinics offer a range of wrinkle treatments, depending on where the wrinkles you wish to treat are located on your face and the depth of the wrinkles.
