-What is AGNES acne treatment?

AGNES acne treatment is the latest laser treatment for acne in Korea. Our skin has thousands of sebaceous glands that produce oils called sebum which keeps your skin moist. They are located in sebaceous follicles next to individual hairs.

When this oil mixes with dead skin cells, it blocks a pore producing a pimple as a result. This treatment will selectively destroy individual problematic glands leaving other healthy glands untouched

-Is this treatment permanent?

It is a long-term cure for acne with a low acne recurrence rate. Side effects are very minimal making this treatment safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers. This is performed over a two day period for those who have mild acne or blackhead issues. However, two to three agnes treatments are needed to fully cure severe acne.

Handpiece used for AGNES

For AGNES, a MICRO-INSULATED NEEDLE with special coating is inserted into your skin to send heat energy that destroys targeted sebaceous glands. Damage to the surrounding skin is minimal with a low recurrence rate compared to other acne treatments. Renovo Skin Clinic uses two different types of handpiece for this treatment.

Process of AGNES

1.Excessive production of sebum causes blocked pores, leading to acne breakouts.

2.Pimples are extruded from the skin to reduce the size of sebaceous glands.

3.The micro-insulated needle is inserted to deliver heat energy to the target area and destroy sebaceous glands.

4.Extruding a second time will prevent further recurrence.
