Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Management Package Configuration
Short Program (4 weeks)
Intense Program (8 weeks, standard)
Premium Program (8 weeks, advanced)
All three of these packages are primarily structured around Agnes (insulated radiofrequency needle) treatment.
This is because it can help manage the excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, which is one of the main causes of acne.
Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Management Feature 1: Agnes
1. Agnes Treatment Focused on Sebaceous Glands
Sebaceous glands are known as one of the primary causes of acne.
Agnes is a method that delivers thermal energy only to the sebaceous glands in the target area through an insulated micro-needle.
This helps reduce epidermal damage and selectively acts on the sebaceous glands in the dermis layer, allowing for a semi-permanent change in the function of those sebaceous glands.
This treatment method can be utilized for targeted sebaceous gland management.
* Considerations Regarding Isotretinoin Use
Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) is a medication that reduces sebum production throughout the body.
While effective, it can be accompanied by various side effects such as hair loss, dry skin, depression, and elevated liver enzymes.
Some patients seek alternative management methods after discontinuing Isotretinoin.
* Characteristics of Agnes Treatment
The treatment is performed only on the necessary areas, to an appropriate extent.
By focusing on the sebaceous glands, it can help reduce acne recurrence in the treated area.
By not treating areas with normal sebaceous gland activity, we contribute to maintaining the skin's oil-water balance and focus on reducing potential side effects.
* Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Unique Agnes Treatment Approach
Agnes treatment goes beyond simply using a needle.
Research suggests that if the number of treatments is insufficient, the sebaceous glands may instead be stimulated and activated, and an adequate number of treatment shots can impact the management outcome.
However, performing an indiscriminately large number of treatments is also not desirable.
In such cases, there is a possibility of developing sequelae such as discoloration, hyperpigmentation, or scars.
Therefore, Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic aims for the following approach:
Rather than simply aiming for a high number of shots, we plan treatments to be 'meaningful and sufficient' for each individual.
Adjusting the intensity based on each individual's skin condition is an essential part.
The important point is that we aim for a treatment design that targets a significant number of shots while reducing the possibility of discoloration.
With Agnes treatment, more important than the equipment itself is 'which area,' 'in what manner,' and 'how much' treatment is administered.
To achieve satisfactory results even with a single treatment,
Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic aims for effective treatments while minimizing risks.
Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic's Acne Management Feature 2: Post-Treatment Care
2. Care Considered Even After Treatment – Systematic Post-Treatment Package
After Agnes treatment, there may be a temporary phenomenon where residual sebum emerges like milia or small acne papules.
Ggeut Korean Medicine Clinic predicts and prepares for this process, and has included a post-treatment care program in its packages.
All packages include the following post-treatment care programs as standard.
Extraction Management
Sebum Melting Radiofrequency Management (helps soften sebum that may harden after Agnes treatment.)
Anti-inflammatory Herbal Acupuncture Treatment
A Special Approach at the Korean Medicine Clinic -3
3. Sebum Gland Management with Reduced Discomfort – Ethosome Gold PTT
Improved by considering the advantages of existing treatments
We apply the Ethosome Gold PTT method.
This is expected to increase the absorption rate of the medication.
It allows for more precise targeting of the sebaceous glands.
It effectively maximizes the drug's effect by raising the dermis temperature to the equivalent of 3,000 shots of Genesis Toning.
It involves less burden when performed sequentially after Agnes treatment.
In the premium course, we manage sebaceous glands with Agnes and regulate sebum secretion with Ethosome PTT to help reduce the possibility of recurrence.
Detailed Information for Each Package

This course is suitable for individuals with high sebum production or intermittent inflammatory acne.
✔ INTENSE (8-week course, basic)
2 Agnes treatments (performed at 4-week intervals)
Agnes post-care performed between each treatment is also all included.

✔ PREMIUM (8-week course, advanced)
2 Agnes treatments and Ethosome Gold PTT are performed together.
This course aims to increase sebum secretion control while reducing skin irritation.

This is an acne package thoughtfully prepared by our Korean Medicine Clinic for those struggling with adult acne.
Why Package Management is Necessary
It is difficult to completely resolve acne issues with just one Agnes treatment.
The process where residual sebum is discharged after sebaceous gland management, which may temporarily appear as small pimples,
The period when the skin may be somewhat sensitive until sebaceous gland activity stabilizes,
Only when all these processes are anticipated, planned, and managed in advance can an effective approach to acne improvement be achieved.
From this perspective, our Korean Medicine Clinic suggests:
That comprehensive management 'through the entire package', rather than just 'one Agnes treatment', is crucial.
The entire process, from sebaceous gland management and secretion control to sebum discharge and inflammation reduction,
must be connected to help reduce acne recurrence.
Effective utilization methods for Agnes treatment, and
a planned treatment approach that considers post-treatment care are important.
This is the acne package offered by our Korean Medicine Clinic.
Q&A
고객님들이 가장 많이 물어보시는 내용을 모았습니다.
Can teenagers also receive this treatment?
Parental consent is required. While teenagers can consider this treatment, we will provide an appropriate treatment plan after a thorough review of each individual's skin condition.
Can acne symptoms be significantly improved after the treatment?
This treatment selectively manages sebaceous glands, which are the main cause of acne. Adhering to the appropriate treatment cycle and frequency, depending on individual skin condition and acne patterns, can help improve acne. However, the number of treatments required and the recommended program may vary for each patient.
Are there any special precautions to be aware of?
Agnes is a treatment that requires a certain recovery period after the procedure. Immediately after the treatment, there may be temporary discomfort such as increased sebum secretion or peeling, so it may be necessary to consider this before important engagements. Receiving high-frequency melting care together can help reduce such discomfort and assist in the recovery process.
Can I still receive treatment if I am taking dermatologist-prescribed medication?
If you are taking acne medication (e.g., Isotretinoin), it is possible to combine it with the treatment. However, the medication may cause severe skin dryness, so it is recommended to also provide sufficient hydration. Please inform us about any medications you are taking during the consultation, and we will provide more detailed guidance tailored to your specific situation.
