[Sebum Gland Destruction] The Root of Acne Treatment: Potenza Needle RF Agnes

Our Clinic's Agnes Treatment Process

Agnes treatment doesn't simply deliver energy to a single lesion; it's performed after meticulously understanding each individual's skin characteristics.

1. Treatment Design Considering Sebaceous Gland Distribution

Since sebaceous glands are widely distributed throughout the skin, the entire affected area is meticulously treated. Appropriate high-frequency output and depth are adjusted to deliver energy to both the center and periphery of the lesion.

2. Customized Needle and High-Frequency Output Adjustment per Skin Area

Micro-needles are applied, considering the anatomical structure and depth of each patient's skin area. High-frequency energy output is adjusted to suit the characteristics of each lesion, ensuring delicate treatment.

The intensity of high-frequency energy and irradiation time are carefully adjusted according to the size and depth of the lesion. Even when multiple treatments are needed, the needle position is finely adjusted to avoid repetitive stimulation in the same area, reducing the burden on the skin.

3. Confirming Lesion Temperature Response and Feedback During Treatment

High-frequency treatment induces localized coagulation in the lesion area at a target temperature between 60-70 degrees Celsius. When appropriate heat is delivered, reactions such as subtle swelling or color changes may appear in the treated area. Our clinic aims to reduce the risk of side effects from excessive coagulation by monitoring these lesion responses in real-time during the procedure. After treatment, we collectively check the area and provide guidance on additional care if necessary.

4. Skin Soothing Care

Immediately after the treatment, a Jaungo modeling pack is used to help soothe the skin and quickly reduce heat sensation. This supports skin recovery and can alleviate post-treatment discomfort. This delicate aftercare is performed considering the entire process of treating acne and sebum-related issues.

Agnes Treatment for Improving Yellow Bumps on Lips (Fordyce Spots)

Fordyce spots are small white or yellow bumps that form on the inner lips or oral mucosa.

This is a natural phenomenon where the skin's sebaceous glands are exposed to the surface, but it can be a cosmetic concern for some.

Agnes treatment works by selectively coagulating only the sebaceous glands within the lesion, without causing damage to the epidermis, using an insulated micro-high-frequency needle.

Through this method, improvement in the condition of Fordyce spots can be expected.

Improvement of skin lesions can be attempted without oral medication.

Agnes for Improving Periorbital Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia (Chicken Skin Appearance)

When the skin under the eyes feels bumpy or rough, it is sometimes described as 'chicken skin'.

This is often due to an excessive proliferation of sebaceous glands rather than simply a pore issue.

Agnes treatment can be applied to thin and delicate areas like under the eyes.

By selectively managing only the sebaceous glands of the lesion, a more natural skin condition can be expected.

It can help the skin under the eyes appear smoother while reducing the risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation.

Characteristics of Agnes Treatment

• 04. Treatment can be carefully performed on sensitive and delicate areas like around the eyes and mouth.
• 05. Customized treatment is performed, adjusting the high-frequency output intensity considering each patient's skin condition, lesion characteristics, and treatment area.
• 06. We provide a hygienic treatment environment using sterilized, individually packaged tips.

Situations Where Agnes Treatment is Recommended

• 01. If you are concerned about frequent or persistently recurring acne
• 02. If oral medication like isotretinoin is difficult to take or you are worried about side effects
• 03. Skin with enlarged pores due to excessive sebum secretion and blackheads
• 04. If multiple small lesions such as milia and syringomas are observed

Post-Treatment Precautions

• Even if small scabs occasionally form, it is best to wait for them to fall off naturally.
• For about one week after the treatment, please avoid saunas, jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses), swimming pools, or water play, as well as smoking and alcohol consumption.
• When engaging in outdoor activities, reapply sunscreen every 3-4 hours, and consistently use a moisturizer to help maintain skin hydration. Adequate water intake can also be helpful.
