[Bumpy, Chicken-Skin-like Under Eyes] Improvement of Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia

Agnes Treatment Guide for Periocular Sebaceous Gland Hyperplasia

At our medical facility, when performing Agnes treatment to improve bumps caused by periocular sebaceous glands, we take a different approach than simply applying energy once per bump.

The under-eye area has thin, sensitive skin, so before treatment, it's necessary to carefully assess not only the size, depth, and distribution pattern of the lesions, but also the patient's skin thickness and the overall contour of their eyes.

At our clinic, we use Agnes insulated radiofrequency needles to precisely target problematic sebaceous glands. This helps to gently improve the bumpy skin imperfections under the eyes that may feel like goosebumps.

1. 'Scatter Pattern' Design Approach Considering Sebaceous Gland Distribution

Sebaceous gland hyperplasia often appears not as just one or two isolated bumps, but rather as multiple bumps widely spread under the eyes, or as small bumps clustered together like colonies.

Therefore, instead of focusing only on bumps visible to the naked eye, we thoroughly identify the widely distributed areas of sebaceous glands and their direction. Afterwards, we proceed with the treatment based on a scatter pattern design that considers the area from the center of the lesion to its periphery.

We aim to improve the under-eye skin texture to be much smoother by treating not only the visible bumpy areas but also the adjacent sebaceous glands.

2. Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output Adjustment Tailored to Under-Eye Skin Characteristics

Among facial areas, the under-eye skin is particularly thin and sensitive.

If overly deep or strong treatments are applied to such an area, there may be an increased risk of post-treatment redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, and skin texture damage.

At our clinic, we carefully consider the size and depth of individual lesions, as well as the patient's under-eye skin thickness and sensitivity, to delicately adjust the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency output for treatment.

We set different energy intensities and delivery times according to the characteristics of each lesion, and even in the event of potential repeat treatments, we subtly adjust the treatment position to prevent excessive stimulation of the same area, thus approaching with precision.

3. Selective Coagulation Method for Problematic Sebaceous Glands Using Agnes

In cases of sebaceous gland hyperplasia, simply removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin may have limitations in fundamentally improving symptoms.

Agnes treatment utilizes the principle of delivering thermal energy selectively only to the problematic sebaceous gland area, minimizing damage to the skin surface by using an insulated radiofrequency needle.

This directly targets the sebaceous gland lesions, coagulating excessively prominent sebaceous glands, and can help to refine the bumpy nodules observed under the eyes, which may resemble goosebumps.

Various methods that directly reduce lesion size, such as laser, electrocautery, and radiofrequency treatments, can be applied to treat sebaceous gland hyperplasia.

4. Feedback Treatment Confirming Lesion Temperature Response in Real-Time

Agnes radiofrequency treatment uses the principle of precisely delivering thermal energy to problematic sebaceous glands to locally coagulate the affected area.

When thermal energy is effectively delivered, reactions such as a subtle swelling or minor changes in skin tone in the lesion area can be directly observed during the treatment.

At our medical facility, we meticulously monitor these reactions in real-time, replenishing energy where needed and avoiding excessive thermal stimulation, thereby carefully treating periocular sebaceous gland hyperplasia.

After the treatment, we examine the treated area with the patient in a mirror, carefully checking once more if any further refinement is needed.

5. Finishing Touches for Natural Harmony of Under-Eye Skin Texture

Improving under-eye sebaceous glands goes beyond simply removing bumps; it's crucial that the surrounding periorbital skin texture blends naturally as a whole.

The area around the eyes is sensitive, where even minor irritation or subtle color differences can easily become apparent. Therefore, treatment must be performed carefully, considering not only the depth of individual lesions but also harmony with adjacent skin texture, without excess or deficiency.

At our clinic, we deeply consider not only the treatment of the lesion's core but also its natural continuity with the surrounding skin, setting the treatment direction to ensure the bumpy under-eye skin texture becomes smoothly refined.

6. Soothing Care Using Jaungo Modeling Pack

The under-eye area is sensitive and can easily redden or feel warm even with very slight thermal stimulation.

Therefore, at our medical facility, we promptly apply a Jaungo Modeling Pack immediately after Agnes treatment to help soothe the skin.

We carefully provide post-treatment care using a Jaungo Modeling Pack to quickly alleviate any thermal stimulation that may occur after the procedure and help the under-eye skin recover more comfortably.

Carefully applicable even to thin and sensitive areas like the under-eye

Customized adjustment of needle depth and output values based on lesion size and depth

Treatment based on a scatter pattern design, not just a single, one-time procedure

Delicate refinement through real-time monitoring of lesion reactions during the treatment process

Improvement of bumpy skin texture observed as milia or small bumps

Provision of post-treatment skin soothing care using Jaungo Modeling Pack

Various devices such as Potenza RF, Elysion RF, and Agness can be used in combination to address a wide range of skin concerns.

Considering hygiene and safety, treatments are performed using individually sterilized and packaged tips.

Recommended for those who:

Experience under-eye skin that feels like goosebumps or appears bumpy.

Have bumps that look like milia but cause discomfort because nothing comes out when extracted.

Thought they had milia and received removal treatment, but the bumps keep recurring.

Feel that their under-eye skin texture is uneven, making makeup application look less smooth.

Have multiple small bumps under their eyes that are skin-colored or yellowish.

Are concerned about the development of scars or hyperpigmentation after treatment on sensitive areas like under the eyes.

Wish to improve bumps that are difficult to resolve with ointments or typical skincare methods.

Experience persistent and recurring bumpy protrusions in a specific area.

Want a clear diagnosis of their condition among similar diseases such as syringoma, milia, and sebaceous hyperplasia.

Treatment Process Guide

STEP 01. Precise Diagnosis and Consultation

We carefully examine whether the patient's under-eye bumps are sebaceous hyperplasia and confirm the location and size of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of Treatment Area

Before the procedure, the under-eye skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the treatment area is carefully planned.

STEP 03. Application of Anesthetic Cream

As the under-eye area is sensitive, an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

STEP 04. Agnes RF Treatment

Considering the location and depth of the sebaceous glands, the needle insertion depth and RF energy are delicately adjusted to target the sebaceous glands.

STEP 05. Shikonin Modeling Mask Soothing

To alleviate the warmth or redness caused by the procedure, we conclude with a modeling mask containing Shikonin for soothing care.

Post-Treatment Precautions

The treated area may temporarily experience redness, swelling, or warmth, but these usually improve gradually over time.

Very small scabs may form under the eyes. It is best not to forcefully remove them; allow them to fall off naturally.

On the day of the procedure, refrain from rubbing or scrubbing the area around your eyes vigorously.

When washing your face, cleanse gently to avoid irritating the treated area.

It is recommended to apply eye makeup such as eyeshadow or concealer only after the treated area has sufficiently stabilized.

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

When going out, always apply sunscreen and consistently pay attention to skin moisturizing care.

Depending on individual skin type and condition, temporary issues such as irritation, itching, or red spots may occasionally appear.

If discomfort lasts longer than expected or worsens, please contact the clinic.

Due to individual skin characteristics and constitution, complete improvement of sebaceous hyperplasia may be difficult with a single treatment, and multiple treatments may be required.
