A Crucial Difference in Preventing Sebaceous Hyperplasia Recurrence

“If you only remove the surface, the core remains.”

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a lesion caused by the excessive enlargement and proliferation of sebaceous glands within the dermis.

However, many treatments merely involve superficially shaving off the visible lesions with a laser.

While such methods may seem temporarily effective,

the sebaceous glands themselves remain, inevitably leading to regrowth.

Kkeut Clinic approaches it differently.

Surface removal + Destruction of internal root cause = Lowers recurrence possibility.

We don't just eliminate symptoms;

we aim for 'treatment that eliminates both the cause and symptoms simultaneously'.

To achieve this, we combine the use of two devices.

1. Secret Agnes RF (Insulated RF 1-pin Needle)

It directly delivers high-frequency heat to the location of the sebaceous gland,

selectively destroying the sebaceous gland.

By using an insulated needle, it avoids damage to the epidermis or surrounding tissues,

precisely targeting only the sebaceous gland.

This is the core of treatment for eliminating the root cause.

2. Erbium-YAG Laser (Er:YAG)

It allows for more precise depth of ablation than CO2 lasers,

delicately removing protruding lesions.

Tissue damage is minimal, leading to faster recovery and a lower rate of scarring.

If necessary, CO2 can be used in conjunction to remove even deeper lesions.

Different from simple removal procedures

CO2 stand-alone ablation → Surface only removed, core remains → Recurrence

Kkeut Clinic combination treatment → Sebaceous gland itself destroyed + Surface lesions cleared → Recurrence suppressed

Characteristics of Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Simple removal is not enough.

Treating both the surface and the underlying cause is necessary to prevent recurrence.

Do you see these symptoms?

Small, round bumps on the forehead, cheeks, or around the nose

Umbilicated shape with a central indentation

Looks like a pimple but cannot be extracted

Persists for a long time or gradually increases in number

These are not just simple blemishes,

but are likely *Sebaceous Hyperplasia*, a condition where sebaceous glands are overproliferated.
