Agnes (Potenza RF, Elysion RF) [Treating sebaceous glands that cause acne recurrence]

Introduction to Agnes Treatment

Agnes treatment is not simply a fixed method applied to one area, but rather a customized approach that considers each individual's skin condition.

1. Treatment Design Considering Sebaceous Gland Distribution

Sebaceous glands often spread out widely. Therefore, the treatment considers the entire cluster of sebaceous glands in the affected area. It proceeds by adjusting appropriate energy and depth from the center of the lesion outwards to the periphery.

2. Customized Needle Length and High-Frequency Energy Adjustment

Appropriate needles are used considering the anatomical depth of each area. By applying suitable energy values according to the characteristics of the lesion, an improvement effect can be expected.

Energy intensity and delivery time are delicately adjusted according to the size and depth of the lesion. Even when multiple treatments are required, we strive to reduce skin irritation through fine position adjustments rather than concentrating solely on the same area.

3. Real-time Monitoring of Lesion Response

High-frequency treatment induces localized tissue coagulation at a target temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius. When sufficient heat transfer occurs, the treated area may swell slightly or show a change in color. These lesion reactions are monitored in real-time during the treatment, reducing the possibility of side effects that could result from excessive coagulation. After the treatment, the area is checked together, and additional measures may be considered if necessary.

4. Post-Treatment Skin Soothing Care

After the treatment, a Jaun-go modeling pack is applied to help soothe the skin and alleviate heat irritation. This care can aid in recovery and contributes to the management of acne and sebum-related conditions.

Agnes Treatment for Improving Fordyce Spots on the Lips

Fordyce spots, appearing as small white or yellowish bumps on the inside of the lips or oral mucosa, are a common skin phenomenon.

While they are merely exposed sebaceous glands, they can be a cosmetic concern.

Agnes treatment uses an insulated high-frequency needle to selectively coagulate only the sebaceous glands without damaging the epidermis.

This can help improve Fordyce spots.

It is a method that allows for management of the affected area without the use of medication.

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

Symptoms like 'chicken skin' where the skin under the eyes appears bumpy

are often caused by excessive proliferation of sebaceous glands rather than simple pore issues.

Agnes treatment can be applied to thin and sensitive areas, such as under the eyes.

By selectively treating only the sebaceous glands, natural improvement can be expected.

It can help reduce concerns about scars or hyperpigmentation and assist in managing under-eye skin texture.
