Blackheads, or comedones, are clusters of deposits that clog pores and oxidize on contact with air. It's when the pilar canal becomes blocked by keratinocytes that blackheads appear. Composed of an accumulation of dead cells and sebum, they appear locally in the T-zone, on the chin, nose and forehead. If left untreated, they can become infected and turn into white pimples.
The two types of blackheads:
Hormonal levels stimulate sebum production, which explains why blackheads are a daily occurrence for teenagers! In adults, blackheads can be linked to hormonal variations, such as during pregnancy or menopause.
We're not all equal when it comes to blackheads, with some families more affected than others.
There are conditions that favor the appearance of blackheads, such as pollution or exposure to certain skin-aggressive chemicals.
Full-coverage and multiple layers of make-up tend to clog pores and lead to blackheads.
An excessively oily and sugary diet influences skin quality and, in particular, the appearance of blackheads.
It's a 1h15 treatment tailored to the needs of your skin, offering both a boost to the epidermis and deep relaxation for the body. One of the key steps in the Soin Signature by Lutétia is the steam facial, designed to open pores. Blackhead extraction is then performed to rid you of clogged pores. Fully customized to individual needs, this treatment intensely moisturizes the skin, subtly refines the texture and reveals a sublime glow.
1 session every 2 weeks is recommended to sustain the effects of the treatment.

Medical Microneedling is recommended for hyperseborrhea and skin imperfections such as blackheads. By creating micro-channels in the skin using a handpiece, this blackhead treatment stimulates the skin's self-healing process, while boosting the production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Over the course of several sessions, the skin renews itself, giving way to a healthy epidermis, free of imperfections.
Between 3 and 6 sessions, depending on the treatment plan.
1 session 250 euros 3 sessions 675 euros (instead of 750 euros), 6 sessions 1275 euros (instead of 1500 euros)
For a clearer complexion, opt for the Carbon Laser Peel at Maison Lutétia. This is a blackhead treatment that purifies combination to oily skin, with a gentle rebalancing action. The practitioner first applies an enzymatic exfoliant to rid the skin of dead cells that tend to clog pores. Next, an activated charcoal mask is applied to the entire face. The expert then applies a first laser to boost neocollagenesis, and a second to eliminate bacteria and prevent the appearance of blackheads. From the very first session, pores are tightened. As the sessions progress, sebum production regulates, giving way to beautiful skin.
One session every two weeks is recommended for lasting effects.
1 session 180 euros per session 3 sessions 485 euros (instead of 540 euros) 6 sessions 915 euros (instead of 1080 euros)
Laser resurfacing renews the skin through abrasion! This treatment creates micro-lesions on the skin's surface, triggering a healing process and stimulating cell regeneration. This blackhead treatment also regulates sebum production by restarting cell function. The result: over the course of several sessions, the epidermis is as if renewed, revealing an attractive skin texture. Thanks to fibroblast stimulation, skin texture is refined and dilated pores are tightened, preventing the appearance of blackheads.
Our expert doctors recommend between 3 and 6 sessions for the face.
From 250 euros per session, depending on the size of the area to be treated.
The LaseMD Ultra delivers targeted ingredients using a laser to improve skin quality. The goal is to create skin abrasion and apply a concentrated blend of ingredients tailored to your skin's needs. To treat blackheads, an anti-blemish and anti-acne solution containing retinol is applied. This vitamin A is known for regulating excess sebum and enhancing the appearance of the skin. Over the course of multiple sessions, cellular regeneration is reinvigorated, pores tighten, impurities are expelled, and blackheads become a distant memory.
On average, one session every two weeks.
La séance 350 euros, 3 séances 945 euros (-10%), 6 séances 1785 euros (-15%)
