[Yellowish Granules on Lips] Fordyce Spots Agnes

Have you been wondering what those yellowish granules on your lips are and if they can be treated?

Fordyce spots are skin lesions that appear as white or yellowish bumps when sebaceous glands around the lips multiply or become prominent close to the surface.

Since this is not a problem that will disappear by squeezing, applying creams, or waiting, treatment that directly targets the problematic sebaceous glands is necessary.

Kkeuthan Clinic uses Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles to precisely target and coagulate the sebaceous glands in the bumpy, yellowish Fordyce spot areas for treatment.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Fordyce Spot Agnes Treatment

Kkeuthan Clinic's Fordyce spot Agnes treatment is not just a basic procedure of one shot per yellow bump.

We delicately approach Fordyce spots by checking the lip line, lesion depth, sebaceous gland distribution, and reactions during the procedure.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design According to Fordyce Spot Distribution

Rather than just one or two Fordyce spots appearing in isolation,

they often spread along the lip line or gather in clusters.

Therefore, Kkeuthan Clinic doesn't just treat the visible bumps; we observe the extent and direction of sebaceous gland distribution and design the treatment with a scatter pattern from the center of the lesion to the surrounding areas.

We aim for a cleaner lip line by considering not only the visible yellow granules but also the sebaceous glands distributed around them.

2. Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output Adjustment tailored to the Lip Area

The lips are a thin and sensitive area, so treating them indiscriminately deep and strong can cause significant irritation.

Kkeuthan Clinic adjusts the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output, considering the size and depth of Fordyce spots and the thickness of the lip area.

We precisely perform the procedure by setting different energy intensities and delivery times for each lesion, and during repeat treatments, we finely adjust the position to avoid excessive irritation to the same area.

3. Real-time Feedback Treatment to Monitor the Lesion's Temperature Response

Agnes radiofrequency treatment works by delivering thermal energy to problematic sebaceous glands, causing localized coagulation.

When proper heat delivery occurs, reactions such as slight swelling or subtle color changes in the lesion can be observed during the procedure.

Kkeuthan Clinic monitors these reactions in real-time, reinforcing insufficient areas and avoiding excessive coagulation, thereby delicately treating Fordyce spot areas.

After the procedure, we check the treated area with the client in a mirror, rechecking any seemingly insufficient areas to aim for highly satisfactory results.

4. Post-Treatment Jaundo Modeling Mask Soothing Care

The area around the lips can experience redness or heat sensation even with minor irritation.

After Agnes treatment, Kkeuthan Clinic applies a Jaundo modeling mask to help soothe the skin, managing the treated area to quickly reduce heat irritation and swelling.

For Fordyce spot treatment, post-procedure soothing and recovery care are as important as the procedure itself.
