Acne Package - Sebaceous Gland Target for Recurrence Prevention

Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic Acne Management Packages

To effectively manage acne, it's important to go beyond simply alleviating visible inflammation and focus on regulating problematic sebaceous glands. At Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic, we utilize Agnes, an insulated radiofrequency device, to provide a step-by-step acne management program.

1. Addressing Sebaceous Gland Issues with Agnes

The main cause of acne is overly active sebaceous glands. The Agnes procedure uses insulated micro-needles to precisely deliver energy only to problematic sebaceous glands, helping to improve them.

Oral sebum-regulating medications can have systemic side effects such as hair loss, severe dryness, and changes in liver function values. In contrast, Agnes only acts on the areas requiring treatment, which can help regulate sebum secretion while reducing concerns about systemic side effects.

The Agnes procedure requires an appropriate number of sessions and intensity. Insufficient treatment may result in inadequate improvement of sebaceous glands, while excessive treatment can burden the skin. Instead of unnecessary repeat treatments, our clinic focuses on applying 'a sufficient and meaningful number of shots even if it's just one session' to reduce the likelihood of acne recurrence.

2. Systematic Integrated Post-Treatment Care

After an Agnes procedure, residual sebum may emerge from the improved sebaceous glands, temporarily appearing like small bumps or whiteheads. This is a common skin reaction, and to manage this effectively, our clinic includes professional post-treatment care in all packages.

Precision Extraction Management: Helps gently remove residual sebum after the procedure.

Sebum Softening Radiofrequency: Can help soften sebum that may harden after Agnes treatment, contributing to its smooth discharge.

Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture: Made with natural ingredients without steroids, it can help comfortably soothe heat and redness in the treated area.

3. 'Ethosome Gold PTT' to Reduce Pain and Expect Synergistic Effects

Considering individuals with high pain concerns or sensitive skin, we also utilize Ethosome Gold PTT treatment.

Drug Absorption and Precision Targeting: Helps ensure the medication is well-delivered deep into the sebaceous glands.

Synergistic Effect: Genesis toning delivers thermal energy, which can help improve the dermal environment. After improving sebaceous glands with Agnes, PTT can regulate residual sebum activity, contributing to a reduction in acne recurrence.

Why Package-Based Management is Important

Acne management is not complete with just one Agnes treatment. Time is needed for residual matter to be discharged from the improved sebaceous glands and for skin tissue to stabilize, and the skin can be somewhat sensitive during this period.

Partial treatments can actually make the skin more sensitive. Only integrated management that includes the interconnected entire process, such as sebaceous gland improvement - sebum secretion regulation - residual sebum discharge - inflammation soothing, can help reduce acne recurrence.

It's important to not just use equipment, but to systematically encompass the post-treatment management process as well. This is what we at Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic believe is the starting point for acne management.
