Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia Under the Eyes, Addressed with Agnes.

Agnes treatment for sebaceous gland hyperplasia, which appears as goosebump-like texture under the eyes, prioritizes precision over a simple one-shot approach for each lesion.

The skin under the eyes is very thin and delicate. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to meticulously assess not only the size, depth, and distribution of the lesions, but also the individual's skin thickness and eye contours.

Agnes treatment utilizes insulated radiofrequency needles to accurately target problematic sebaceous glands. This can help delicately refine the bumpy skin texture that appears under the eyes.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design Considering Sebaceous Gland Distribution

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia often appears not as just one or two bumps, but rather as multiple lesions spread across the under-eye area or as clusters of small lesions.

Therefore, instead of targeting only visible bumps, we consider the widespread distribution and direction of the sebaceous glands, and proceed with treatment by designing a scatter pattern from the center of the lesion to the surrounding areas.

This approach allows for the management of not only visible bumps but also potential sebaceous glands in the surrounding areas, which can lead to a more refined under-eye skin texture.

2. Needle Depth and RF Output Adjustment Considering Under-eye Area Characteristics

The skin under the eyes is particularly thin and sensitive compared to other areas of the face.

If the treatment is performed too deeply or too aggressively, it can lead to concerns such as redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, or even damage to the skin texture.

Considering these factors, we carefully adjust the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output, taking into account the size and depth of each lesion, as well as the individual's under-eye skin thickness and sensitivity.

We set different energy intensities and delivery times for each individual lesion. If repeat treatments are necessary, we precisely adjust the needle position to avoid over-stimulating the same area, ensuring meticulous treatment.

3. Agnes Treatment Principle: Selectively Coagulating Problematic Sebaceous Glands

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia may be difficult to fundamentally improve with satisfactory results by simply addressing dead skin cells on the skin surface.

Agnes uses insulated radiofrequency needles, a treatment method that precisely delivers energy only to the problematic sebaceous gland areas, minimizing damage to the skin surface.

This method directly targets sebaceous gland lesions to coagulate hyperplastic sebaceous glands, aiming to delicately refine the bumpy, goosebump-like protrusions that appear under the eyes.

Treatment methods for improving sebaceous gland hyperplasia include techniques that directly reduce the lesions themselves, such as lasers, electrocautery, and radiofrequency treatments.

4. Real-time Feedback: Checking Lesion Temperature Response During Treatment

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

When thermal energy is properly delivered, characteristic reactions such as the lesion subtly swelling or a change in its color may be observed during the treatment.

We meticulously observe these reactions in real-time, supplementing energy where needed and avoiding unnecessary excessive heat stimulation, thus delicately managing under-eye sebaceous gland hyperplasia.

After completing the treatment, we examine the treated area with the patient in front of a mirror, taking the time to carefully check once more for any areas that might need further attention.

5. Finishing Touches for Natural Refinement of Under-eye Skin Texture

In improving under-eye sebaceous gland hyperplasia, it is crucial to go beyond simply removing bumps and to ensure that the overall under-eye skin texture is naturally refined.

The area around the eyes is where even small stimuli or subtle color differences can easily become apparent. Therefore, a delicate approach that considers both the individual depth of each lesion and harmony with the surrounding skin texture, ensuring neither too much nor too little, is necessary.

We approach the treatment by considering not only the center of the lesion but also the natural blend with the surrounding skin, aiming to smoothly refine the previously bumpy under-eye skin texture.

6. Post-Agnes Treatment Soothing Care with Jaungo Modeling Pack

The under-eye area is highly sensitive, meaning even very mild heat can easily cause redness or a warm sensation.

Considering this, immediately after Agnes treatment, we apply a Jaungo modeling pack to help soothe the skin.

Jaungo modeling pack care quickly calms any heat sensation that may occur after treatment, helping the under-eye skin undergo a more comfortable recovery process.

Provides soothing care using Jaungo modeling pack after treatment

We comprehensively utilize Potenza RF, Elisys RF, and Agnes treatment devices.

For all procedures, we meticulously ensure hygiene by using individually sterile-packaged tips.

Consultation is recommended for those who meet the following criteria.

Individuals whose undereye skin feels like 'chicken skin' or who feel bumpy protuberances when touched.

Cases where it was thought to be milia (small whiteheads), but no contents are expelled even with extraction.

Individuals who have been diagnosed with and had milia removed, but the bumpy formations reappear under their eyes.

Individuals who feel their undereye skin texture is uneven, making it difficult to achieve a clean look even with makeup.

Individuals who have multiple small protuberances under their eyes that are similar in color to their skin or slightly yellowish.

Individuals who are hesitant about treatment due to concerns about scarring or hyperpigmentation, given the delicate nature of the undereye area.

Individuals who are considering professional treatment because improvement is difficult with ointments or general skincare.

Individuals who are concerned because bumpy protuberances repeatedly reappear in the same undereye area.

Individuals who need differential diagnosis for various undereye bump conditions such as syringoma, milia, and sebaceous hyperplasia, and wish to receive an accurate diagnosis.

Treatment Procedure Steps

STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation and Examination

We meticulously diagnose whether the bumps appearing under the eyes are sebaceous hyperplasia and identify the exact location and extent of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of the Treatment Area

Before the procedure, the undereye skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the exact areas requiring treatment are marked.

STEP 03. Anesthetic Cream Application

To minimize potential discomfort during treatment of the sensitive undereye area, anesthetic cream is generously applied.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment Procedure

The needle depth and radiofrequency energy output are meticulously adjusted according to the location and distribution of the sebaceous glands, precisely treating the problematic sebaceous glands.

STEP 05. Jaungo Modeling Mask Soothing Care

To alleviate heat sensation or redness caused by the procedure, a modeling mask containing Jaungo ingredients is applied to soothe the skin.

Post-Treatment Care and Precautions

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

ㆍTiny scabs may form under the eyes. It is best not to forcibly remove these scabs and allow them to fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, avoid rubbing or vigorously touching the area around the eyes.

ㆍWhen washing your face, it is recommended to gently cleanse the treated area rather than rubbing it vigorously.

ㆍEye makeup such as eyeshadow or concealer should ideally be started after the treated area has sufficiently healed and stabilized.

ㆍFor approximately one week after the procedure, please refrain from visiting jjimjilbangs (Korean bathhouses), saunas, swimming pools, and from consuming alcohol or smoking.

ㆍWhen engaging in outdoor activities, it is advisable to thoroughly apply sunscreen and pay attention to moisturizing.

ㆍDepending on individual skin condition or constitution, temporary breakouts, itching, or red spots may occur.

ㆍIf discomfort persists for an extended period, please contact the clinic to consult with the medical staff.

ㆍFor sebaceous hyperplasia, please be aware that multiple treatments may be necessary depending on individual skin characteristics and the likelihood of recurrence.
