Agnes RF The non-surgical solution for acne, eye bags, jowls, double-chins, and more! The AGNES RF (radiofrequency) is best used for tackling specific problematic areas including eye bags, jowls, loss of jawline definition due to excess fat and/or lax skin, acne scarring, double chin, or other areas of undesirable fat deposits in the face. AGNES RF uses heat from radiofrequency that coagulates fat and tightens collagen fibers in the skin. This collagen-boosting powerhouse reduces the appearance of sagging skin while creating tighter firmer-looking skin with long-lasting results. Persistent acne? Acne scarring? The AGNES RF is the treatment for you! The AGNES RF is designed to selectively destroy the sebaceous glands where acne germs reside and once the sebaceous gland has been destroyed no acne can reoccur in that area. The procedure is minimally invasive, no surgery required, minimal downtime, and best of all each treatment with the Agnes RF is personalized just for you. This procedure is safe to use on all skin tones and textures and treatments can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Recommended areas of treatment with AGNES RF:
- Forehead wrinkles
- Under-eye bags
- Sagging eyelids and crow’s feet wrinkles
- Lower cheek fullness
- Smile lines around the mouth
- Upper lip lines
- Droopy jowls
- Double chin fullness
- Cystic and inflammatory acne
What to expect after treatment and what is the recovery time? The smaller the treatment area, the shorter the recovery time. There may be only mild redness that subsides within 1-3 days depending on the area treated. Swelling and minimal bruising are normal for a few days up to a week. If more intensive treatment is performed for sculpting of larger areas such as the jowls and jawline, there can be moderate swelling that resolves over 1-2 weeks or longer. There is mild to no discomfort after the treatment, but it is normal to experience altered sensation (numbness or a slight prickly sensation) of your treated skin. This sensation will resolve over the next several days to weeks. You will be able to resume regular activities that day. We recommend gentle handling of the treated area for 48 hours. We also recommend avoiding sun exposure to treated skin for 2 weeks which will help avoid the possibility of hyperpigmentation. When will I see the results? There will be some immediate tightening visible. However, most of the changes due to the production of new collagen and elastin and remodeling of this new tissue will take place over 1-2 months after treatment. It also takes several weeks for your body to remove disrupted fat cells from the treated area. How many treatments will I need? Although there may be noticeable improvement with even one treatment optimal results usually require 2-3 treatments spaced 2-3 months apart. For acne treatments, 4 sessions are typically recommended one month apart.
