Facial treatment planning at Shinebom Clinic, Jamsil, Seoul

The short answer

Syringoma are small, firm, skin-colored or yellowish bumps, most often under the eyes, that come from benign overgrowth of sweat duct tissue and tend to persist or increase slowly. At Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul, Agnes insulated microneedle RF is listed for syringoma after the doctor confirms the diagnosis.

Key facts

  • Nature: benign sweat duct growths
  • Typical site: lower eyelids and upper cheeks
  • Device: Agnes, used for acne, milia and syringoma
  • Recurrence: possible
  • Pricing: quoted after consultation

What causes syringoma?

Syringoma are overgrowths of the ducts of eccrine sweat glands. They are more common in women, often start in adolescence or adulthood, and can run in families. They are harmless and not contagious, and creams do not remove them because the tissue sits in the skin, not on the surface.

How is it told apart from other bumps?

Under the eyes, syringoma can resemble milia, flat warts or xanthelasma. The doctor at Shinebom Clinic checks color, firmness and pattern. Syringoma bumps are typically multiple, symmetrical and skin-toned, rather than pearly white. When the picture is unclear, further examination is the safe choice before any cosmetic procedure.

Which Shinebom treatment may help?

Agnes is an insulated microneedle RF device that the clinic lists for acne, milia and syringoma, and it appears within the clinic's acne care pages. The microneedle delivers energy at depth while limiting the effect on the surface. The doctor will explain settings, the number of sessions and the aftercare appropriate to the eye area.

What results are realistic?

Treatment may flatten or reduce bumps, but syringoma tend to recur, and complete clearing is not guaranteed. Treatment is usually a series. Temporary redness and small crusts can occur; do not pick them. Sunscreen and gentle moisturizer protect healing skin.

When to see a doctor

If bumps appear suddenly in large numbers, itch, or change quickly, a medical review is wise. Yellow plaques on the eyelids should be checked by a doctor. Because the eye area is delicate, choose treatment only after a doctor has examined you in person.

Frequently asked questions

Are syringoma dangerous?

They are benign. Treatment is for appearance, and a doctor should still confirm the diagnosis.

Will they come back?

They can, because the tendency remains. The doctor can discuss realistic expectations before you start.

Can I use eye cream to remove them?

Creams do not generally remove them and heavy products can irritate the area.
