Clogged Pores? Dull Skin?
How do our Pores get Clogged or Dull...
A build up of dirt, oil or dead skin cells can cause clogged pores. Clogged pores are a common skin concern that may lead to acne. The condition is most common in people with very oily skin.
Clogged pores develop when dead skin cells, oil or dirt get trapped in your pores. Pores are tiny openings in your skin that release oil and sweat from your glands. Clogged pores can lead to acne.
Clogged pores are common on people’s faces. However, they can occur anywhere on your body, including your scalp, neck, back, shoulders and chest.
A gentle skin care routine can help resolve clogged pores.
Clogged Pores vs Enlarged Pores?
Clogged Pores
Clogged pores and Enlarged pores aren’t the same things, but they’re often related.
Clogged pores can be the result of your glands producing too much oil.
The more oil on your skin, the higher the risk of clogged pores.
But lots of other things can lead to enlarged pores, including age, skin products, hair follicles and sun damage, do enlarged pores don’t always lead to clogged pores.
Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores are are small holes (depressions) on the faces skin surface. These small openings contain one or more openings to the ducts carrying sweat and oil from their respective eccrine glands and sebaceous glands. And can appear as black holes or dots on the skins surface.
Enlarged pores can be seen at all ages and in all ethnic groups.
Certain ethnic groups may have larger pores, particularly those of African and Indian ancestry.
Pores often appear larger with age.
Aside from genetics, pores can become more visible when our skin experiences:
Aging, Sun Damage, Comedogenic makeup & skincare.

Microneedling
Microneedling is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
At SEMO’S AESTHETICS STUDIO in South Wimbledon (SW19), microneedling is used to effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, expression lines, and stretch marks.
During the treatment, a precision microneedling device creates tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This controlled process stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, essential for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. These micro-channels also allow healing serums to penetrate deeper into the skin for enhanced results.
Microneedling is safe for all skin tones, requires minimal downtime, and is ideal for those seeking visible, long-lasting skin improvements without invasive procedures.
Every microneedling session includes a full consultation to assess your skin and tailor your treatment.
You will also receive a complimentary aftercare pack to support skin healing for 5–7 days post-treatment..
