[Yellowish Bumps Around the Lips] Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Many people feel uncomfortable or are curious about ways to improve the yellowish bumps seen around their lips.

Fordyce spots refer to a condition where sebaceous glands around the lips abnormally proliferate, appearing as small yellowish or whitish bumps on the skin surface.

These bumps do not disappear on their own by physically squeezing them, applying ointment, or with time. Therefore, a procedural approach that directly targets the causative sebaceous glands may be considered.

Using Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles, we precisely target the sebaceous glands of the yellowish, bumpy Fordyce spots around the lips and coagulate the tissue to help improve them.

Features of Fordyce Spot Agnes Treatment

The Fordyce spot Agnes treatment performed at our clinic does not simply mean applying energy to a single yellowish bump just once.

We meticulously observe the shape of the lip line, the depth of the lesion, the distribution pattern of the sebaceous glands, and skin reactions during treatment, establishing a delicate treatment plan that considers the characteristics of Fordyce spots.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design Considering Fordyce Spot Distribution

Rather than appearing as just a few isolated spots,

Fordyce spots tend to appear widely spread along the lip line or in clusters.

Accordingly, instead of simply treating only the visible bumps, we meticulously identify the spread and direction of the sebaceous glands and proceed with a treatment design based on a scatter pattern that considers the lesion from its center to its periphery.

We plan and perform the treatment to achieve a more refined lip line, taking into account not only the outwardly visible yellowish bumps but also the surrounding sebaceous glands.

2. Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output Adjustment Considering Lip Characteristics

The lip area has thin and sensitive skin tissue, so treating with excessively deep or strong energy can cause unnecessary irritation.

Accordingly, we meticulously assess the individual size and depth of Fordyce spots, as well as the thickness of the skin around the lips, to carefully adjust the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output.

We set different energy levels and irradiation times according to the condition of each lesion, and even when performing multiple treatments, we meticulously adjust the needle's position to prevent excessive irritation to the same area.

3. Real-time Temperature Response Monitoring During Treatment

Agnes radiofrequency treatment utilizes the principle of precisely delivering thermal energy to the affected sebaceous glands, locally coagulating the area.

When heat is appropriately delivered, it is visually possible to observe the treated area lightly swelling or showing subtle color changes during the procedure.

At our clinic, we observe these reactions in real-time, replenishing energy to necessary areas and preventing unnecessary over-coagulation to delicately manage Fordyce spot lesions.

After the treatment, we confirm the treated area with the patient using a mirror, carefully re-examining any areas that require additional care, and anticipate improved results.

4. Soothing Care with Jaun-go Modeling Pack After Treatment

The skin around the lips is thin and prone to redness or heat sensation even with minor irritation.

After Agnes treatment, a Jaun-go modeling pack is applied for skin soothing. This can help alleviate thermal irritation and reduce swelling in the treated area.

The management of Fordyce spots considers the soothing and recovery process after treatment as important as the treatment procedure itself.

Key Features of Fordyce Spot Agnes Treatment

• Directly targets the sebaceous glands, which are the cause of yellowish bumps around the lips
• Precise treatment using insulated needles to minimize epidermal irritation
• Careful approach even to sensitive areas such as the lip line
• Customized output and needle depth adjustment based on the size and depth of individual lesions
• Treatment design using a scatter pattern, not a simple 1-shot method
• Real-time monitoring of lesion reactions during treatment to reinforce necessary areas
• Hygienic treatment environment using sterilized individual tips
• Provision of soothing care using Jaun-go modeling pack after treatment

You may consider treatment in these cases

• When yellowish or whitish bumpy spots appear around the lips
• When the lip line appears somewhat uneven due to Fordyce spots
• When yellowish bumps remain noticeable despite using moisturizers like lip balm, causing concern
• When you have felt frustrated not knowing whether your symptoms are acne, milia, or Fordyce spots
• Those who have tried to squeeze yellow bumps, only to exacerbate skin irritation
• Those who are considering more proactive improvement methods rather than topical medications or ointments
• Those who are seeking meticulous procedures due to concerns about potential scarring or irritation in the sensitive areas around the lips

Procedure Steps

STEP 01. Personalized Consultation

Through a consultation with our medical staff, we first confirm whether the yellow bumps around your lips are Fordyce spots. This process involves thoroughly assessing the extent and distribution of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of Treatment Area

After cleansing the skin around the lips, the treatment area is designed.

STEP 03. Anesthetic Cream Application

Anesthesia is applied to minimize any discomfort that may occur during treatment of the sensitive areas around the lips.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment

Considering the distribution of sebaceous glands where Fordyce spots are located, the needle depth and radiofrequency output are finely adjusted for the treatment.

STEP 05. Jaungo Modeling Pack Soothing Care

To alleviate any heat sensation or redness that may appear after the procedure, we apply a Jaungo Modeling Pack for soothing care.

Post-Procedure Precautions

ㆍRedness, swelling, or a sensation of heat may appear in the treated area, but these typically subside naturally over time.

ㆍVery small scabs may form around the lips. Do not forcibly remove these scabs; it is best to let them fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, be careful not to rub the lip area vigorously or apply unnecessary stimulation.

ㆍFor 2-3 days after the procedure, it is recommended to avoid consuming hot, spicy, or irritating foods.

ㆍIt is advisable to refrain from using jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses), saunas, swimming, drinking alcohol, and smoking for about 1 week.

ㆍIt is recommended to use color cosmetics such as lip tint or lipstick only after the treated area has fully healed.

ㆍWhen going out, it is advisable to apply sunscreen thoroughly and pay attention to moisturizing care.

ㆍIf uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, pain, or redness persist, please contact the clinic.
