Acne that repeatedly appears on the chin can be bothersome, as traces often remain even with makeup. If you are concerned about acne that keeps appearing in the same spot, it can be helpful to understand why it recurs and the principles of managing sebaceous glands.

Acne can occur when sebaceous glands are overactive or when sebum secretion increases. The chin area, in particular, is susceptible to the effects of hormonal changes and stress.

• Periods of hormonal change, such as the menstrual cycle or pregnancy
• Situations where stress accumulates
• When sebum and waste products build up in the pores
• Family history or genetic factors

Many people have experienced acne reappearing in the same spot after it had subsided. If the sebaceous glands are excessively developed, such recurrence is likely to be repeated.

Agnes is a method that delivers high-frequency energy to the sebaceous glands through insulated micro-needles. It works by targeting and coagulating excessively developed sebaceous glands while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, and is used for the management of recurrent acne.

The tip of the needle is insulated, designed to reduce the burden on surrounding tissues even when stimulating deep skin. This method selectively treats only the affected area.

Since it can deliver energy even when sebaceous glands are deeply developed, it can be used for various types of acne, including inflammatory acne, as well as small bumps, recurrent acne, and acne vulgaris. However, suitability depends on the individual's skin condition.

If acne is left untreated, inflammation can deepen and leave scars or hyperpigmentation. It is better to have your condition checked through a consultation and start management before traces become permanent.

For recurrent acne caused by sebaceous glands, both surface management and fundamental management should be considered. We recommend starting by confirming your current skin condition through a consultation and then determining the method that is right for you.
