CONCERN:
Enlarged Pores
Large Pores Treatment, Belsize Park, London
Pores play an essential role in healthy skin function, but when they become enlarged or more visible, they can affect overall skin texture and clarity. Often concentrated around the nose, cheeks and forehead, enlarged pores are one of the most common skin concerns we treat at Heath Clinic. While pore size is partly genetic, we offer a number of targeted treatments to improve skin structure and reduce the appearance of pores in a natural, long-lasting way.
Pore visibility is not only about surface appearance. It is often linked to skin ageing, sun damage, collagen loss and excess oil production. By focusing on skin health at a deeper level, we aim to create more refined, resilient skin that looks clearer, smoother and more even.
What causes enlarged pores?
Pores appear larger when they become clogged, stretched or surrounded by thinning skin. Common contributing factors include:
These include:
-
Excess sebum or oil production
-
Loss of elasticity and collagen with age
-
Sun damage that weakens skin structure
-
Buildup of dead skin cells or debris
-
Overuse of aggressive skincare or stripping products
We focus on strengthening and smoothing the skin from within, rather than just masking the surface.

Our Approach to Enlarged Pores
We use advanced technologies and regenerative therapies that help remodel the skin’s architecture and minimise the appearance of pores over time.
MOXI Laser
MOXI is a gentle fractional laser treatment that improves skin tone, texture and overall clarity. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it encourages cell renewal and collagen production, which helps tighten and refine the pore structure. MOXI is suitable for all skin types and has minimal downtime, making it ideal for regular skin maintenance.
Secret RF
Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen deep within the skin. It is particularly effective for enlarged pores caused by ageing or sun damage. By strengthening the underlying skin, Secret RF helps tighten the pore walls and create a smoother, more even complexion.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling encourages collagen and elastin production by creating micro-channels in the skin. When paired with exosomes, this treatment becomes even more powerful. Exosomes enhance cellular repair and regeneration, accelerating healing and improving overall skin texture. This combination is effective for minimising the look of enlarged pores while boosting hydration and skin quality.
Each of these treatments is tailored to your skin’s needs, with long-term pore refinement and skin health as the goal.
What should you expect during treatment?
At Heath Clinic, we treat thread veins using Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL), a medical-grade light therapy that targets and collapses unwanted vessels beneath the skin. The energy is absorbed by the vessel, which is then naturally broken down and reabsorbed by the body over time.
This treatment is safe, precise and requires no needles or surgery. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and comfortable, with no downtime and excellent results after a course of sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
You cannot remove pores entirely, but you can significantly reduce their appearance by improving skin structure, collagen levels and clarity. Treatments like Secret RF and MOXI can help the pores appear tighter and less visible over time.
That depends on the underlying cause. MOXI is great for improving surface texture and tone. Secret RF targets collagen loss that can stretch pores open. Microneedling with exosomes supports healing and renewal in sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Most patients benefit from a course of three to four sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain long-term results.
MOXI has minimal downtime and may cause light redness or flaking for a day or two. Secret RF can lead to mild swelling or redness that resolves within a few days. Microneedling with exosomes typically has a short recovery period and reduced inflammation compared to microneedling alone.
Yes. A good at-home skincare routine is essential for maintaining clear pores. We offer personalised skincare plans and may recommend topical ingredients such as retinoids or gentle exfoliants to complement your in-clinic treatments.
Yes. MOXI and microneedling with exosomes are safe for a wide range of skin tones and types. Secret RF can also be adjusted to suit different skin sensitivities and depths.
