This is a review after removing a syringoma that developed under the eye.
The removal method was laser. Among them, I received treatment with the Agnes laser.
I will also share the effects of the Agnes laser and before and after removal photos.
What is Han Gwan Jong?
Seborrheic keratosis is a skin condition commonly called water warts, which is characterized by the irregular arrangement of small, yellow or flesh-colored, water drop-shaped sebaceous cysts measuring 2 to 3 mm in size.
Condition of the syringoma before the procedure
At first, I thought it was a milia because it was a bumpy area under my eye.
I thought it was a temporary symptom because it disappeared later!
Before I knew it, it had become thicker and its shape had become more distinct.
I saw that he was becoming more and more assertive, so I went to the dermatologist and they said it was a seborrheic keratosis, not a sebaceous cyst.
I thought the characteristics of the Han Gwan Jong were disappearing, but they say that the sebums are fused together and clumped together.
I found out that while sebaceous cysts can disappear naturally, syringomas are almost impossible to heal naturally and can grow larger and spread further to the surrounding areas.
They say it's hard to remove without a laser because it's deep in the skin.
At first, I was going to just leave it alone because I wondered if it would be okay to get the treatment during the summer season when I sweat a lot, but the seborrheic keratosis became more and more evident compared to before, so I decided to get it removed. Among them, I heard that the Agnes laser is effective, so I decided on this laser!
In the past, the removal of sebaceous cysts was often done by cutting them with a CO2 laser, but the Agnes laser is said to be able to remove them with almost no scars because it directly shoots high frequency waves only at the sebum of the sebaceous cyst.
So, I think the Agnes laser is known to be effective in removing sebaceous cysts.
However, since the roots of the Han Gwan Jong are deep, to see the effects of the Agnes laser, you need to receive it at least three times, not just once.
I've received it twice so far!
After the first treatment
They gave me anesthetic cream and an injection before the procedure, so it wasn't painful and I could bear it.
Immediately after the first treatment, since it was my first time receiving laser treatment, the area around the syringoma was swollen and looked more prominent.
At this time, the Agnes laser effect was not visible... but since it was the first time, I waited calmly.
The interval between laser treatments depends on how many and how deeply the melanomas are distributed. It's usually 2-3 months apart, and mine is 10 weeks apart. It's not a short cycle like removing moles or blemishes.
After the second treatment
It's been two weeks since I received the second dose.
The right side is still a little bit left, but the left side, which wasn't that bad, has mostly disappeared.
Actually, I didn't see much of an effect from the Agnes laser until the first time, but it started to appear a few weeks after the second time!!
And the first time it didn't hurt, but the second time it hurt a bit, was bitter, and the redness lasted for a while.
I think it was probably because the skin around my eyes is thin and it was a bit irritating.
After I finish the third round, the remaining part on the right side will probably disappear, right? If it doesn't, I wonder if I'll have to get a fourth round...
However, I have personally experienced the effectiveness of the Agnes laser as the number of freckles has decreased compared to before, and I am very satisfied with it so far!
Since it is said that once a cyst forms, it spreads easily and is prone to recurrence, I think it would be better to get rid of it early.
If you are concerned about sebaceous cysts or seborrheic keratosis, you can look forward to the effects of the Agnes laser!
