Agnes RF

Before & After Photos

Agnes RF is an advanced radiofrequency micro-needling technology designed to address various skin concerns. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing acne, sagging skin, jowls, and eye bags. The treatment employs micro-insulated needles to deliver radiofrequency energy, minimizing skin damage while targeting sebaceous glands to reduce acne. Additionally, Agnes RF helps burn excess fat and stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. This makes it ideal for treating issues like eye bags, dark circles, and a poorly defined jawline. Furthermore, Agnes RF is beneficial for improving uneven texture, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and scars.

About Agnes RF

How does Agnes RF Work?

Agnes RF utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) energy for tissue coagulation and electrothermolysis. Micro-insulated needles penetrate the skin at specific points, distributing radiofrequency energy at precise temperatures to generate a tissue response without damaging the epidermis. This makes microneedling with AGNES RF simple, precise, and effective.

  • 1MHz Mono-polar
  • Square wave form to minimize energy deviation
  • Reusable grounding pad
  • Needles are micro-insulated to protect against epidermal burning
  • (9) separate needle types
  • Needle checking camera helps ensure safety and precision

Ideal Candidates

Agnes RF is a good treatment for both men and women of all skin types, body types, and ethnicities who have concerns about the appearance and texture of their facial skin. In general, patients interested in improving the appearance of their skin without the need for significant downtime may be good candidates.

The best way to find out if you would benefit from Agnes RF treatments is to be seen in person at ArtfulSurgery. During the consultation, Dr. Lee will examine your skin concerns and recommend the best course of treatment to address those issues. Customized to the condition of your skin and your aesthetic goals, Dr. Lee may recommend a single or a series of treatments.

Treatment

Most patients find the Agnes RF procedure very comfortable. Topical anesthetic is applied to the skin prior to treatment to enhance comfort. The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour.

Agnes RF is a non-surgical treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to address various skin concerns. During the procedure, a specialized device with micro-insulated needles delivers precise RF energy into targeted skin layers, stimulating collagen production and tightening tissues. This approach effectively treats issues like under-eye bags, jowls, double chins, and acne by reducing unwanted fat and enhancing skin firmness.

Sessions typically last between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

In order to achieve optimal results from Agnes RF, you may require a single treatment or a series of treatments. At the time of the consultation, Dr. Lee will determine how you would best benefit from Agnes RF. In some cases, certain areas of concern may benefit most from a single treatment, while deeper issues may require a series of treatments to see results.

Additional / Alternative Treatments

While many patients can benefit from the advantages of Agnes RF, it may not be for everyone. Dr. Lee is proud to offer a variety of treatments to meet her patients’ needs.

Tyte & Bryte

Tyte & Bryte, also made by Sciton, uses broadband light therapy technology to tighten and smooth the skin. Waves of pulsed light help initiate the body’s natural healing response and improve the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, rosacea, and coarsening of skin texture.

HALO or BBL

HALO combines ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths to treat skin concerns like sun damage, uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, and scars. It stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin tone and texture. Patients often notice results within days, with minimal downtime.

BroadBand Light (BBL) therapy uses intense pulsed light to address issues such as age spots, sun damage, redness, broken blood vessels, and rosacea. It promotes collagen growth, enhancing skin firmness and clarity. BBL treatments are quick, typically taking about 15 minutes, and require little to no downtime.

Combining HALO and BBL therapies offers comprehensive skin rejuvenation by targeting both superficial and deeper skin layers, resulting in enhanced texture, tone, and overall clarity. This synergistic approach maximizes benefits with minimal recovery time.

Consultation

Patients who are new to Dr. Lee’s office will be asked to come in for a consultation prior to receiving any treatments. During the consultation, Dr. Lee will personally meet with you to discuss your concerns. It is important that Dr. Lee understands your goals so that she can provide proper treatment.

The doctor will use her expertise to recommend the best course of treatment. Agnes RF is a very diverse treatment that can be utilized in a variety of ways to meet each patient’s goals. However, in some cases, the patient may be better suited for an alternative treatment, such as Tyte & Bryte or injectables. Dr. Lee can discuss in more depth the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment at the time of the consultation.

Recovery

Most patients can immediately return to their normal routines following Agnes RF treatment. Some possible side effects include redness, swelling, or bruising, especially for those who are treating deeper wrinkles or eye bags. These side effects typically last no more than about three days. A majority of patients find that gently applying ice and taking over-the-counter pain relievers are sufficient to calm any discomfort or redness after their Agnes RF treatment.

Following your Agnes RF treatment, it is not recommended that you apply makeup or other products for a few days. Dr. Elizabeth Lee will advise when you can return to your normal skincare routine or apply makeup. Most patients have no pain after the procedure but around the eyes there may be bruising.
