“AGNES is a unique nonsurgical radiofrequency device that uses micro-insulated needles to precisely penetrate the skin, delivering RF energy to reduce unwanted fat and improve skin laxity.”

What is Radiofrequency (RF)?

Radiofrequency is a type of energy which is measured in “frequency,” or wavelengths per second. Like any form of energy, RF has the capacity to produce heat. When using RF on skin, the heat is generated via resistance of the skin and thus promotes new collagen formation, which is great for treating wrinkles, scars and pores reduction. When using RF on soft tissue it can provide specific outcome, such as electro-thermolysis on selective sebaceous glands and adipose tissue.

How AGNES RF FACELIFT work?

One advantage of using RF on skin is that with low frequency RF, it can safely penetrate deeper level of skin tissue to improve the underlying skin structure. Furthermore, RF can safely treat patients with different skin color without causing any discoloration or hyper-pigmentation risks.

AGNES RF uses partially insulated small needles selectively to treat the targeted tissue while protecting the surface of the skin (the epidermis) from any burn injury.

The heat generated from Agnes RF machine will tighten the collagen fibers in the deep skin layer and coagulate the unwanted fat in the soft tissue. During the recovery period, the fibroblast will produce more collagen to tighten skin and further reduce sagging.

Key Benefits:

• Able to accurately target area of treatment via different depth ranging from skin layer to fat layer.
• Suitable for all skin type and color
• Non Surgical Procedure
• Minimal downtime and fast recovery

Indicated for:

• Jawline tightening
• Lower face contouring
• Double chin reduction
• Skin laxity improvement
• Fine lines reduction
• Wrinkles reduction around the eyelids

How is the procedure carried out?

To reduce any discomfort during procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin prior to treatment. After which, the RF will be carried out and it takes about 30mins to 1hour of treatment per session. Patients often described the sensation as a warm to hot prickly sensation.

How do I take care of my skin after AGNES RF?

After the treatment, your skin may feel warm. Patient is instructed to wait until the next morning to wash the treated areas, and to use ice water to do so. Usually the discomfort will be much reduced after the first 24 hours. Patient is then allowed to use a mild cleanser to cleanse the face, but to avoid product with exfoliates such as scrubs; anti-ageing or whitening products; toner containing high alcohol contents.

How is the healing period?

You may experience some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment and usually these would subside in less than a week to two.

Healing depends on how intensive the RF treatment was, and also on how fast each individual usually heals. Sometimes during the healing period, combined soothing therapy such as hydration treatment or skin soothing procedure are suggested to reduce post-RF healing time. Feel free to discuss with your doctor regarding any adjuvant options to help your skin heal faster.

When will I see results, how many treatments would I need?

Results depends on the degree of laxity on the skin tissue , as well as the existence of other underlying skin disorder or sensitivity. You will be able to notice improvement on your skin 2months after each Agnes RF Treatment.

However, poor skin care, poor dieting habits, smoking and alcohol intake, or anything causing dehydration to your skin can cause poor wound healing and subobtimal result.

Generally, patient will require 3-4 sessions of RF treatments to achieve a more significant result.
