Precise care for the sebaceous glands behind recurring acne.
About AGNES
AGNES is a treatment in which an insulated microneedle is inserted to the depth of the sebaceous gland and radiofrequency energy is delivered only from the needle tip. The principle is to selectively coagulate the problem sebaceous gland while reducing damage to the surrounding skin.
Acne that keeps appearing in the same spot is often caused by the sebaceous gland itself, so AGNES, which treats that gland directly, is used for managing recurrent acne.
At 3Leaf Clover Clinic, the doctor personally examines the lesions to decide the treatment areas and depth, and performs Secret AGNES in units from a single spot up to 20 spots depending on the number of acne lesions. Single-use AGNES tips are used, and an RF melting option can be added when needed.
