Originally developed as a permanent solution for active acne, Agnes RF has been found to also be remarkably effective as a face, jaw, and eye area rejuvenator and ideal as a non-surgical face and neck contourer. It combines precision microneedling and radiofrequency to stimulate fibroblasts which generates collagen and produce results that are likened to a face- or eye-lift. Skin is smoothed, tightened, and sculpted!
Agnes is minimally invasive, safe, appropriate for all skin tones, and requires little social downtime.

Other than acne, what conditions can be treated?
Eye area—under-eye bags, skin sagginess, and eye wrinkles. Especially exciting is that Agnes can target periorbital wrinkles—those around the eye that look puffy and which are difficult to treat with injectable products.
Neck, jawline, and jowl—remove fat and tighten skin.
Plus, a wide range of cosmetic skin concerns:
- rough skin texture
- enlarged pores
- sagging skin
- wrinkles
- acne and surgical scars
Key Benefits and Typical Results
- Agnes treatments are customizable in the skilled hands of our practitioners.
- It simultaneously removes fat and tightens skin.
- Treatment sessions are short.
- The technology is predictable, precise, and safe.
- The micro-needles are insulated to provide additional protection to surrounding tissue.
What happens during treatment?
Agnes treatments require twenty minutes or less, once a numbing cream has taken effect. Your practitioner will configure the handset micro-needle and energy settings for you particular goals. Pulses will be precisely targeted into the wrinkle or fat pad under treatment.
Occasionally, for deeper fat, or for eye bag treatments, local anesthetic injections may be used in addition to numbing cream.
Post-treatment care or downtime?
Many are able to return immediately to regular activities. Ice may be used to calm any discomfort or sensitivity of the treated area.
If you are treated for deeper lines/wrinkles, or for eye bags, you may experience redness, bruising, or swelling for one to three days, followed by up to a week of minimally visible side effects. Occasionally, with these deeper treatments, the treated area may be sensitive and have some numbness for up to four weeks.
If you are concerned about the length of downtime, but want the same results, a series of lighter treatments can be substituted for one deeper treatment. These less intensive treatments will have far fewer side effects, most of which may be concealed with tinted moisturizer or makeup just a few days after treatment.
Our team will provide you with information on care, and can also discuss products available to minimize downtime and enhance the results of your treatment.
How long until I see results?
It is normal for the treated area to look worse for up to a week. Over the coming months, skin structure remodeling and new collage synthesis will reveal your firmer, smoother skin.
How long will results last?
At your complimentary consultation, expectations for your results will be discussed. They vary from individual to individual and also depend on which skin concerns are being treatmented.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment plans vary depending on the area being treated and goals. It’s generally recommended that two to three additional treatment sessions are planned, within three to six month after the initial appointment.
What is the science?
The technology behind Agnes is what sets it apart from other microneedling devices. Each of the micro-needles has an insulated coating which minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, shortening recovery time and adding precision to the targeting of the radiofrequency energy.
Agnes radiofrequency safely targets the skin structure to heat the tissue to the exact temperature needed to destroy and coagulate fat and fatty structures in the skin while simultaneously increasing the production and firming of collagen and elastin, leading to cell turnover and internal restructuring of the skin, making it healthier and tighter.
