[Yellowish Bumps on Lips] Fordyce Spots Treatment

Yellowish bumps on the lips, Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

You may have been concerned about the yellowish bumps appearing around your lips.

Fordyce spots are a skin condition where sebaceous glands around the lips enlarge or appear close to the skin surface, resembling small white or yellowish bumps.

These symptoms often do not disappear by squeezing them yourself, applying specific ointments, or simply waiting. Therefore, a treatment that directly targets the causative sebaceous glands can be considered.

We perform the treatment by precisely locating the sebaceous glands in the bumpy, yellowish Fordyce spot areas using an Agnes insulated radiofrequency needle and coagulating them with thermal energy.

Our Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Our Fordyce Spots Agnes treatment differs from the typical method of simply applying one shot per visible yellowish bump.

We carefully examine the lip line, the depth of the lesions, the distribution pattern of the sebaceous glands, and the skin's reaction during the procedure, approaching Fordyce spots with meticulous care.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design Considering the Distribution of Fordyce Spots

Fordyce spots typically do not appear as just one or two isolated bumps, but rather

tend to spread widely along the lip line or cluster together in groups.

Accordingly, we don't just target visible bumps; instead, we identify the extent and direction of sebaceous gland spread and design and perform the treatment by applying a scatter pattern from the center of the lesion to its periphery.

We meticulously consider not only the externally visible yellowish bumps but also any sebaceous glands that may be distributed nearby, performing the treatment to achieve a more refined lip line.

2. Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output Adjustment Considering the Characteristics of the Lip Area

The lips are an area with thin and sensitive skin, so treating them with excessively deep or strong energy can cause unnecessary irritation.

We comprehensively consider the size and depth of the Fordyce spots, as well as the skin thickness of the lip area, to delicately adjust the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output for the treatment.

We set different energy intensities and delivery times for each lesion and aim for precise treatment by finely adjusting the needle position to prevent excessive stimulation to the same area during re-treatment.

3. Real-time Feedback Application by Observing the Lesion's Temperature Response During Treatment

Agnes radiofrequency treatment works by selectively coagulating problematic sebaceous glands through concentrated delivery of thermal energy to the affected area.

If thermal energy is delivered appropriately, reactions such as slight swelling of the lesion or subtle color changes may occur during the treatment.

We monitor these reactions in real-time, performing supplementary treatments on necessary areas, preventing excessive thermal coagulation, and carefully treating the Fordyce spot areas.

After the treatment, we directly check the treated area with the patient using a mirror. If any areas appear insufficient, we carefully re-examine them to ensure a meticulous finish.

4. Soothing Care Using Jaungo Modeling Pack After Treatment

The skin around the lips is a sensitive area that can easily become red or feel warm even with minor irritation.

After Agnes treatment, we use a Jaungo modeling pack to soothe the skin. This can help effectively alleviate warmth or swelling in the treated area.

In Fordyce spot treatment, while the treatment itself is important, managing the soothing and recovery process after the procedure is also given significant attention.

Features of Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

• Directly targets the sebaceous glands causing yellow bumps on the lips.
• Enables precise treatment that minimizes epidermal damage using an insulated needle.
• Carefully approaches and treats even sensitive areas like the lip line.
• Adjusts radiofrequency output and needle depth according to the size and depth of the lesion.
• Designed treatment utilizing a scatter pattern, not just single shots.
• Monitors the lesion's reaction in real-time during treatment and supplements necessary areas.
• Creates a hygienic treatment environment using sterilized individual tips.
• After treatment, we assist with skin soothing care using a Jaungo modeling pack.

This may apply to you if:

• You have yellowish or whitish bumpy spots on your lips.
• Your lip line feels unrefined due to Fordyce spots.
• Yellow bumps continue to bother you even after using lip balm or lip products.
• You were concerned because you didn't know whether your current condition was acne, milia, or Fordyce spots.
• We recommend this for those who found that squeezing them didn't make them disappear, but rather intensified the irritation.
• This is suitable for those who prefer direct management over medication or ointment application.
• As the area around the lips is sensitive, it is recommended for those who wish to reduce the burden of scars or excessive irritation and receive delicate treatment.

Treatment Steps

STEP 01. Personalized Consultation

The medical staff first conducts a consultation to meticulously confirm whether the yellow bumps on the lip area are Fordyce spots. Afterwards, they carefully check the extent and distribution of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of the Treatment Area

Before the treatment, the skin around the lips is thoroughly cleansed, and then the areas requiring treatment are designed.

STEP 03. Application of Anesthetic Cream

Since the area around the lips can be sensitive, anesthetic cream is applied to help alleviate any potential pain during the procedure.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment

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

STEP 05. Soothing Care with Jaungo Modeling Pack

After the treatment, you may experience warmth or redness in the skin. To alleviate these symptoms, a Jaungo modeling pack will be used to soothe your skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Precautions

ㆍ시술 후에는 간혹 붉은 기운, 부기, 열감 등이 나타날 수 있으나, 대부분 시간이 지나면서 점차 완화되는 경향이 있습니다.

ㆍ입술 주변에 미세한 딱지가 형성될 수 있습니다. 이때는 인위적으로 떼어내지 마시고 자연스럽게 떨어지도록 두시는 것이 좋습니다.

ㆍ시술 당일에는 입술 부위를 강하게 문지르거나 불필요한 자극을 주지 않도록 주의해야 합니다.

ㆍ뜨겁거나 맵고 자극적인 종류의 음식 섭취는 약 2~3일간 자제하시는 편이 회복에 도움이 됩니다.

ㆍ시술 후 약 1주일 정도는 찜질방, 사우나, 수영장 방문 및 음주, 흡연을 삼가는 것이 권장됩니다.

ㆍ립틴트, 립스틱 같은 색조 화장품은 시술 부위의 상태가 안정화된 이후에 사용하시는 것이 권장됩니다.

ㆍ외출 시에는 자외선 차단제를 꼼꼼히 바르고, 입술 보습 관리에 신경을 써주는 것이 좋습니다.

ㆍ만약 가려움, 통증, 붉어짐 등 평소와 다른 불편감이 지속된다면 병원으로 문의해 주시기 바랍니다.
