Yellowish granules around the lips, Fordyce Spots Agnes

Many people wonder about treatment options due to the small yellowish granules visible on their lips.

Fordyce Spots are a condition where sebaceous glands near the lips become abnormally enlarged or are located close to the skin's surface, appearing as small, white or yellowish bumps.

It is difficult to resolve simply by extraction, using ointment, or waiting. Therefore, treatment that precisely controls the sebaceous glands is required.

At our clinic, we perform the procedure by precisely identifying and coagulating the sebaceous glands associated with Fordyce Spots around the lips using Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles.

Our clinic's Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

The Fordyce Spots Agnes treatment performed at our clinic does not merely focus on each visible bump.

We adopt a delicate approach tailored for Fordyce Spots, comprehensively considering the characteristics of the lip line, the depth of the lesions, the distribution pattern of the sebaceous glands, and even the skin reactions observed during the procedure.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' design considering Fordyce Spot distribution

Rather than appearing as just one or two isolated spots,

Fordyce Spots are more commonly observed spread widely along the lip line or forming clusters.

Therefore, at our clinic, rather than targeting only the bumps visible to the naked eye, we diagnose the entire range and direction of sebaceous gland distribution and plan the procedure with a scatter pattern that encompasses the lesions from the center to the periphery.

By managing not only the yellowish granules visible on the surface but also the surrounding sebaceous glands, we help you achieve a more refined lip line.

2. Adjustment of needle depth and radiofrequency output considering lip area characteristics

Since the lips have thin and sensitive skin, applying excessively deep or strong energy during the procedure can increase irritation.

At our clinic, we carefully examine the individual size and depth of Fordyce Spots, as well as the thickness of the surrounding lip skin, to adjust the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output for the procedure.

We meticulously adjust the energy intensity and delivery time for each individual lesion, aiming for precise treatment through subtle position adjustments to avoid excessive stimulation of the same area during re-treatment.

3. Real-time temperature response verification and feedback treatment of lesions

Agnes radiofrequency treatment works by delivering thermal energy to the targeted sebaceous glands, locally coagulating the area.

When thermal energy is effectively delivered, physical reactions such as slight swelling or subtle color changes in the lesion can be observed during the procedure.

At our clinic, we continuously monitor these reactions in real-time, supplementing areas with insufficient energy and preventing excessive coagulation, thereby delicately managing Fordyce Spots.

After the procedure, we inspect the treated area with the patient in front of a mirror, and if deemed necessary, we aim for high satisfaction through additional verification.

4. Soothing care using Jaun-go modeling pack after the procedure

The area around the lips is sensitive, easily becoming red or feeling warm even with minor irritation.

At our clinic, after the Agnes procedure, we apply a Jaun-go modeling pack to stabilize the skin, helping to quickly alleviate heat and swelling in the treated area.

For Fordyce Spots, post-procedure skin soothing and recovery management are as crucial as the procedure itself.

Benefits of Fordyce Spots Agnes

• Directly targets the sebaceous glands, which are the root cause of the yellowish bumps visible on the lips.
• Minimizes skin surface damage with insulated needles, allowing for precise treatment.
• Enables a delicate approach even for sensitive areas like the lip line.
• Individually adjusts radiofrequency output and needle depth according to the size and depth of the lesions.
• It is a planned treatment with a scatter pattern that considers the distribution, not just a simple one-time procedure.
• Monitors the lesion's reaction in real-time during the procedure and supplements areas as needed.
• Maintains a hygienic treatment environment by using sterilized individual tips.
• After the procedure, we assist with skin soothing care using a Jaun-go modeling pack.

Consider this treatment if you:

• Have small, yellowish or white bumps appearing bumpy on your lips.
• Feel that your lip line is not clean due to Fordyce Spots.
• Are bothered by yellowish bumps that are still visible even after using lip balm or other lip products.
• Have been concerned because you are unsure whether the symptoms around your lips are acne, milia, or Fordyce Spots.
• We recommend this for those who feel discomfort because it doesn't disappear even if you try to squeeze it yourself, and only irritates it further.
• Some people are looking for a more direct solution beyond applying medication or ointment.
• The skin around the lips is thin and sensitive, so if you want a delicate approach without worrying about scars or irritation after the procedure, consultation is necessary.

Procedure Steps

STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation

Through an individual consultation with our medical staff, we accurately determine if the yellow bumps on your lips are Fordyce spots, and meticulously diagnose the extent and distribution of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparing the Treatment Area

Before the procedure, the skin around the lips is thoroughly cleansed, and the exact area requiring treatment is designed.

STEP 03. Anesthetic Cream Application

Anesthesia is administered to minimize discomfort or pain that may occur during treatment of the sensitive lip area.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment

Based on the distribution pattern of Fordyce spot sebaceous glands, the needle depth and radiofrequency energy are appropriately adjusted to precisely treat the lesion area.

STEP 05. Jaungo Modeling Mask Soothing Care

To soothe temporary heat or redness that may occur after the procedure, a Jaungo modeling mask is used to comfort the skin.

Post-Procedure Precautions

ㆍTemporary redness, swelling, or warmth may appear in the treated area, but these typically subside naturally over time.

ㆍTiny scabs may form around the lips. It is recommended not to forcibly remove them; let them fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, please refrain from rubbing the lip area vigorously or artificially stimulating it.

ㆍIt is advisable to avoid hot, spicy, or irritating foods for approximately 2-3 days after the procedure.

ㆍIt is advisable to refrain from jjimjilbangs (Korean saunas), saunas, swimming, alcohol consumption, and smoking for about 1 week after the procedure.

ㆍIt is best to use color cosmetics such as lip tint and lipstick only after the treated area has sufficiently stabilized.

ㆍWhen going out, apply sunscreen thoroughly and pay attention to lip moisturizing care.

ㆍIf uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, pain, or redness persist, or if you have any questions, please contact the clinic at any time.
