Yellowish granules around the lips: Fordyce Spots Agnes

Are you bothered by the yellowish granules visible around your lips?

Fordyce spots are defined as small, white or yellowish bumps that appear on the skin's surface due to the proliferation of sebaceous glands around the lips.

They are difficult to remove by simply squeezing, applying ointment, or waiting for them to disappear over time. Therefore, a procedural approach that directly controls the problematic sebaceous glands can be considered.

Using Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles, we can precisely coagulate the sebaceous glands of the rough, bumpy Fordyce spot lesions around the lips, expecting improvement.

Approach to Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Fordyce Spots Agnes treatment does not simply target each visible bump.

We approach Fordyce spots delicately, considering the shape of the lip line, the depth of the lesion, the distribution pattern of the sebaceous glands, and even the skin's reaction during the procedure.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design According to Fordyce Spot Distribution

Fordyce spots usually appear not just one or two,

but often spread widely along the lip line in multiple numbers or gather in small clusters.

Instead of simply treating only the visibly apparent bumps, we identify the range and direction in which the sebaceous glands are widely distributed, and plan the procedure with a scatter pattern that considers from the center to the periphery of the lesion.

In addition to the visible yellowish granules, we also consider the sebaceous glands located nearby to promote a refined improvement of the lip line.

2. Adjustment of Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output tailored to the Lip Area

The skin around the lips is thin and sensitive, so using excessively deep or strong energy during treatment can cause irritation.

Therefore, we comprehensively assess the individual size and depth of Fordyce spots, as well as the thickness of the skin around the lips, to adjust the appropriate needle depth and radiofrequency output settings.

We set different energy intensities and delivery times for each individual lesion, and even during re-treatment, we aim for precise treatment by subtly adjusting the needle's position to avoid excessive stimulation to the same area.

3. Real-time Feedback Treatment to Confirm Lesion's Temperature Response

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

When appropriate heat is delivered, reactions such as slight swelling or subtle color changes of the lesion can be observed during the treatment process.

Our medical staff carefully observes these real-time reactions, supplementing areas with insufficient energy and avoiding excessive coagulation, thereby delicately managing Fordyce spot lesions.

After the procedure, we review the treated area with the patient, and if deemed necessary, we can revisit it for additional improvement.

4. Post-procedure Jaungo Modeling Pack Soothing Care

The skin around the lips is delicate and can easily show redness or heat even with minor irritation.

After Agnes treatment, to help soothe the skin, we apply a Jaungo modeling pack to help alleviate thermal irritation and swelling that may occur in the treated area.

Fordyce spot treatment not only involves the treatment itself but also the management of the soothing and recovery process post-procedure.

Features of Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

• Directly controls sebaceous glands, the fundamental cause of yellowish granules
• Precise treatment with insulated needles, minimizing epidermal damage
• Delicate approach even for sensitive lip lines
• Output and depth adjusted considering lesion size and depth
• Scatter pattern design treatment, not simple 1-shot method
• Real-time observation of lesion reaction during treatment to reinforce necessary areas
• Hygienic treatment environment with sterilized individual tips
• Soothing care with Jaungo modeling pack after treatment

Consider this treatment if you have the following concerns:

• If you feel small, yellowish or whitish granules roughly textured around your lips
• If you feel your lip line is not clean due to Fordyce spots
• If yellowish bumps persist and bother you even after using moisturizers like lip balm
• If you felt frustrated because it was unclear whether your current symptoms were acne, milia, or Fordyce spots
• Those who tried to squeeze out lesions around their lips but only increased irritation and saw no change.
• Those considering a more direct treatment method rather than using medication or ointment.
• Those seeking a precise procedure without scars or excessive irritation, as the area around the lips is sensitive.

Procedure Steps

STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation

Through a thorough consultation with medical staff, we confirm whether the yellow bumps around the lips are Fordyce spots and closely examine the scope and distribution of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of Treatment Area

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

STEP 03. Anesthetic Cream Application

Anesthetic ointment is applied to reduce pain in the sensitive area around the lips.

STEP 04. Agnes Procedure

Considering the sebaceous gland distribution of Fordyce spots, the procedure is precisely performed by adjusting the needle depth and radiofrequency output.

STEP 05. Jaungo Modeling Mask Soothing Care

To alleviate any heat sensation and redness that may occur after the procedure, soothing care is provided with a Jaungo modeling mask.

Post-Procedure Precautions

ㆍAfter the procedure, redness, swelling, and heat sensation may appear, but these generally subside naturally over time.

ㆍSmall scabs may form around the lips; do not forcibly remove them, but allow them to fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, be careful not to rub the treated area vigorously or irritate it unnecessarily.

ㆍAvoiding hot, spicy, or irritating foods for about 2-3 days after the procedure can aid in recovery.

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

ㆍIt is recommended to use color cosmetics such as lip tints or lipsticks only after the treated area has sufficiently stabilized.

ㆍWhen going out, please apply sunscreen and pay attention to sufficient moisturizing care.

ㆍIf uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, pain, or redness persist, please contact the clinic.
