[Yellow bumps on lips] Fordyce Spots Agnes

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

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

Since it's not a problem that will disappear by squeezing, applying cream, or waiting, treatment that directly targets the problematic sebaceous glands is necessary.

Kkeuthan Clinic precisely targets and coagulates the sebaceous glands in the bumpy, yellowish Fordyce spot areas using Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles for treatment.

Kkeuthan Clinic's Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Kkeuthan Clinic's Fordyce Spots Agnes is not just a basic procedure where one shot is fired per yellow bump.

We carefully approach Fordyce spots by checking the lip line, lesion depth, sebaceous gland distribution, and even the reaction during the procedure.

1. 'Scatter pattern' design based on Fordyce spot distribution

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

they often spread along the lip line or cluster together.

Therefore, Kkeuthan Clinic doesn't just treat the visible bumps; we observe the range 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 bumps but also the surrounding sebaceous glands that are distributed with them.

2. Needle depth and radiofrequency output adjustment tailored to the lip area

Since the lips are a thin and sensitive area, arbitrarily deep or strong treatment 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 checking the lesion's temperature response

Agnes radiofrequency treatment delivers thermal energy to problematic sebaceous glands, causing localized coagulation.

When proper heat transfer occurs, a reaction such as slight swelling or subtle color change of the lesion can be observed during the procedure.

Kkeuthan Clinic observes this reaction in real-time, reinforcing insufficient areas and avoiding excessive coagulation to delicately treat the Fordyce spot areas.

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

4. Post-procedure calming care with Jaungo modeling mask

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

After Agnes treatment, Kkeuthan Clinic applies a Jaungo 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.

Procedure Process

STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation

We prioritize consultation with the 원장님 (director) and medical staff to confirm whether the yellow bumps around the lips are Fordyce spots, and check the lesion's extent and distribution.

STEP 02. Preparation of Treatment Area

The skin around the lips is thoroughly cleansed and the treatment area is designed.

STEP 03. Application of Anesthetic Cream

Anesthesia is administered to reduce discomfort in the sensitive lip area.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment

The needle depth and radiofrequency output are precisely adjusted according to the distribution of Fordyce spot sebaceous glands for the treatment.

STEP 05. Shikonin Modeling Mask Soothing Care

After the procedure, a Shikonin modeling mask is applied to soothe heat and redness.

Post-Procedure Precautions

ㆍRedness, swelling, and a feeling of warmth may occur after the procedure and usually subside over time.

ㆍTiny scabs may form around the lips; do not pick them off, let them fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, do not rub or irritate the lip area vigorously.

ㆍIt is advisable to avoid hot, spicy, or irritating foods for about 2-3 days.
