Agnes RF is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered through various configurations of ultra-fine microneedles to precisely target and treat specific skin and tissue concerns. The tiny, single-use insulated microneedles are inserted into the skin to deliver precisely controlled RF energy directly into the dermis or fat.
Agnes RF can help reduce fat in small, targeted areas such as under the chin, around the eyes, or along the jawline. It helps tighten, smooth, and lift skin by stimulating collagen production. It also improves acne and acne scarring, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and refines pore and skin texture. It can be combined with other modalities, including your own Platelet-Rich Plasma and Exosomes, to optimize results and speed healing.
Ideal Candidate
Agnes RF is ideal for most patients seeking treatment for discrete, delicate areas such as under-eye texture and bags, jawline contouring, stubborn acne, sebaceous inclusions, and milia without surgery or significant downtime.
What To Expect
Numbing cream will be applied, and local anesthetic injections may be administered before treatment. Mild swelling, redness, crusting, or bruising may occur for a few days after treatment. Results develop gradually over several weeks, with full results realized within several months as collagen rebuilds, fat resorbs, and/or overactive oil glands shut down. Many patients see results after just one session, but some concerns require a series of treatments for optimal results.
Pre-Procedure Guidelines
To prepare for Agnes RF treatments, patients should:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for two weeks before and after treatment
- Follow all pre-treatment instructions provided during consultation
- Maintain good skin health leading up to the procedure
- Do not apply any makeup or sunblock to the treatment area on the day of your procedure
- Digital photos, consent, and cleansing of the injection areas will be performed
- This is NOT a laser technology, so no eye shields are required unless Dr. Z is treating the thin upper eyelid.
- Treatments take 15 to 30 minutes
- Some areas may have a clear Tegaderm dressing applied for several days following treatment to speed healing
What To Expect And After Care
There is minimal social downtime from Agnes RF treatments. The treated areas may feel lightly sunburned, get tiny crusts, and be pink for a few days.
Patients should:
- Leave any Tegaderm dressings in place until they lift off
- Keep exposed skin clean and well-moisturized per instructions
- Avoid sun exposure and use sun protection
- Do not rub or massage treated areas if they are sensitive
- Follow all post-procedure care instructions carefully.
- If you are using Redvive Red/NIR light therapy, you can restart immediately
Recovery Timeline
- Return to normal activity and gym: the next day
- Avoid sun and heated environments for several weeks
- Back in tinted SPF or makeup in several days
- Results are optimized with each additional treatment performed 1 to 2 months apart for 3 to 6 treatments
Results
Results develop gradually over several weeks, with full results achieved within several months as treated skin areas rebuild, treated fat resorbs, and/or overactive oil glands shut down. Many patients see results after just one session, but some concerns require a series of 3 to 6 treatments over time for optimal results.
