What is Agnes and why is everyone talking about it?

The Agnes RF is a device designed for skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, and localized fat reduction. It uses minimally-invasive radio frequency to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture without damaging the surface of the skin. The device is used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, non-surgical brow lifting, and sagging skin of the face and neck. It can also be used to treat resistant acne and syringomas. In my experience, it is more effective than RF micro-needling, a popular option for people looking for a minimally invasive treatment. Agnes offers a more subtle yet effective alternative to surgical procedures.

One capability of the Agnes that is not addressed by micro-needling is the destruction of fat under the eyes and under the chin/neck. Deeper probes are utilized to access the fat layer under the skin which are then “melted” by radio frequency. The results have been very promising.

The treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Only local anesthesia is needed so patients can drive themselves home. There is frequently some bruising or swelling post-procedure that can last for about a week.

Like all cosmetic treatments, results can vary depending on individual factors. It’s crucial to consult with a licensed practitioner to ensure Agnes is the right option for your skin goals.
