Treatment for Yellow Bumps Around Lips! [Fordyce Spots]

[Yellow Bumps Around Lips] Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Many people wonder what these yellow bumps appearing around the lips are and how to manage them.

Fordyce spots refer to skin lesions characterized by small, white or yellow bumps that appear when sebaceous glands around the lips abnormally proliferate and protrude onto the skin surface.

Fordyce spots are difficult to improve through self-extraction, ointment application, or simply waiting. Therefore, a procedural approach that directly addresses the problematic sebaceous glands may be necessary.

At our clinic, we perform the procedure using Agnes insulated radiofrequency microneedles to precisely locate and coagulate the sebaceous glands in the Fordyce spot areas around the lips.

Features of Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

Fordyce spots Agnes treatment is not simply about mechanically delivering energy to each visible yellow bump.

We carefully perform the procedure in a manner suitable for Fordyce spots, comprehensively considering the patient's lip line shape, lesion depth, sebaceous gland distribution pattern, and skin reaction during the treatment.

1. Treatment Design Tailored to the Distribution Pattern of Fordyce Spots

Rather than appearing as just one or two isolated spots,

Fordyce spots often spread widely around the lip line or cluster together in a concentrated area.

Considering these characteristics, we do not simply treat each visible bump individually, but rather meticulously identify the scope and direction of sebaceous gland distribution. Based on this, we plan and proceed with the treatment using a scattered pattern that covers from the center to the periphery of the lesion.

By treating not only the visible yellow bumps but also the hidden sebaceous glands around them, we help patients achieve an overall cleaner lip line.

2. Adjusting Needle Depth and Radiofrequency Output Considering Lip Area Characteristics

The skin in the lip area is thinner and more sensitive than other areas, so treatment with excessively deep or strong energy can cause unnecessary irritation to the skin.

Therefore, at our clinic, we meticulously set the appropriate needle length and radiofrequency energy values by comprehensively assessing the individual size and depth of the Fordyce spots, as well as the patient's lip thickness.

We adjust the energy intensity and delivery time according to the state of individual lesions, and even when performing multiple treatments, we aim for precise procedures by finely adjusting the needle position to prevent excessive stimulation to the same area.

3. Real-time Feedback Monitoring Lesion Reaction During Treatment

Agnes treatment operates on the principle of using radiofrequency energy to apply heat to problematic sebaceous glands, inducing localized coagulation.

When energy is properly delivered, we can observe the lesion slightly swelling or subtly changing color during the procedure.

At our clinic, we continuously monitor these reactions in real-time to supplement areas with insufficient energy and, conversely, avoid excessive coagulation, meticulously treating the Fordyce spot areas.

After the treatment, we examine the treated area with the patient using a mirror, and for any parts deemed necessary, we undergo an additional verification process, aiming for positive improvement.

4. Skin Soothing Care with Jaungo Modeling Pack After Treatment

The skin around the lips is a sensitive area that can easily become red or feel warm with external irritation.

At our clinic, we apply a Jaungo modeling pack after Agnes treatment to help soothe the skin. This can help alleviate warmth and swelling in the treated area.

For Fordyce spots treatment, not only the treatment process but also post-procedure soothing and recovery care are considered very important.

Key Features of Fordyce Spots Agnes Treatment

• Directly addresses the sebaceous glands that cause yellow bumps around the lips.
• Enables precise treatment that minimizes epidermal damage using insulated needles.
• Applies treatment in a meticulous manner even to sensitive areas like the lip line.
• Adjusts radiofrequency energy output and needle depth according to the size and depth of individual lesions.
• It is a scattered pattern design treatment that considers the distribution of Fordyce spots, not just a single-shot method.
• Monitors the real-time reaction of the lesion during treatment to supplement necessary areas.
• Uses individually sterile-packaged tips to create a hygienic treatment environment.
• Provides soothing care using a Jaungo modeling pack after treatment.

Consider this if you:

• have yellow or white bumpy spots appearing around your lips.
• feel your lip line is not clean due to Fordyce spots.
• are still bothered by yellow bumps even after using lip balm or other lip products.
• have been wondering whether your skin lesions are acne, milia, or Fordyce spots.
• Those who have experienced discomfort because the bumps do not disappear even with extraction, and instead become more irritated.
• Those who are looking for a direct improvement method other than topical medications or ointments.
• Those who desire a cautious approach, fearing that treatment marks or irritation may remain, as the area around the lips is sensitive.

Treatment Process

STEP 01. 1:1 Customized Consultation

Through individual consultation with our medical staff, we accurately diagnose whether the yellow bumps on the lips are Fordyce spots, and carefully confirm the extent and distribution of the lesions.

STEP 02. Preparation of the Treatment Area

We thoroughly clean and prepare the skin around the lips where the treatment will be performed, and meticulously design the areas requiring treatment.

STEP 03. Anesthetic Cream Application

As the area around the lips is sensitive, anesthetic cream is applied to minimize any discomfort that may occur during the procedure.

STEP 04. Agnes Treatment

The Agnes micro-needle penetration depth and radiofrequency energy output are precisely adjusted according to the depth and distribution of the Fordyce spots' sebaceous glands to perform the treatment.

STEP 05. Jauungo Modeling Pack Soothing Care

To alleviate any heat sensation and redness that may occur after the treatment, we soothe the skin with a modeling pack containing Jauungo ingredients.

Post-Treatment Precautions

ㆍThe treated area may temporarily appear red, swollen, or feel warm, but these symptoms usually subside naturally over time.

ㆍTiny scabs may form around the lips; it is best not to forcibly remove them and allow them to fall off naturally.

ㆍOn the day of the procedure, please refrain from vigorously rubbing or irritating the lip area.

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

ㆍPlease refrain from using jjimjilbangs (Korean saunas), saunas, swimming pools, as well as consuming alcohol and smoking for approximately 1 week.

ㆍIt is advisable to use colored cosmetics such as lip tints and lipsticks only after the treated area has sufficiently stabilized.

ㆍWhen going out, pay attention to sun protection and consistently moisturize.

ㆍIf uncomfortable symptoms such as itching, pain, or redness persist, please contact our medical facility.
