AGNES Radio Frequency

What happens during the procedure?

The treatment area will be numbed for the comfort of the patient.  The Doctor will draw out the treatment area.  The patient will experience some heat from the RF energy created but it is very tolerable.  The electric voltage to the skin sets off a cascade of physiological processes which results in cell membranes tightening. The treatment does not involve cutting, burning or removing skin or tissue.

For the treatment of the eye bag, specially designed radiofrequency microneedles are inserted along the contours of the under-eye area which then release heat produced from the radiofrequency energy wave at a controlled pulse and depth to destroy fat cells safely and effectively inside the eye bags. Through this process the body forms new fibrous tissue and stimulates the production of collagen, causing collagen fibers to become shorter and more tense. At the same time, the molecules that makeup collagen are left undamaged. Resulting in an increase of skin elasticity while avoiding damage to the pigment producing cells of the epidermis (upper layer of skin) thus making the treatment effective for all skin types and colour.

Following this process, Agnes can be used to successfully for localized facial contouring, including decreasing the nasolabial fold, jowl, or the submental areas, as well as for defining the jawline. For this reason, AGNES RF is unlike any other RF Microneedling device on the market.

How many treatments are required?

Benefits from a single treatment may be significant but this may not be the case for everyone. Most of the benefit appears over the coming months as new collagen is deposited under the skin and the skin begins to remodel its structure. For the treatment of eye bags, it will take 2-6 months for the fat cells to be removed by the body’s macrophages, and results are permanent. When treating skin laxity, most will require additional treatments as skin’s tightness will start to reduce, from the natural process of ageing, from 1-3 years after first treatment.

To get the best results, you’ll probably need more than one treatment with the Agnes RF device. During your consultation, you’ll get a better idea of how many sessions would be required to achieve your desired results.

Are the results permanent?

Yes and no.

For the Eye & Dermal Therapies – Benefits from a single treatment may be significant but this may not be the case for everyone. Most of the benefit appears over the coming months as new collagen is deposited under the skin and the skin begins to remodel its structure. For the treatment of eye bags, it will take 2-6 months for the fat cells to be removed by the body’s macrophages, and results are permanent. When treating skin laxity, most will require additional treatments as skin’s tightness will start to reduce, from the natural process of ageing, from 1-3 years after treatment.

For submental (under chin) fat removal, the treated fat cells are destroyed forever and will not return. Not all fat cells are removed with treatment. Therefore, if a patient gains weight, then the healthy fat cells that remain will swell in size, causing a double chin appearance.

Every patient is unique and understandably, results vary from patient to patient. In some cases, two to three treatments may be needed to achieve the desired results. For Acne, Comedones, Blackheads, Syringiomas benefits may be within a few weeks but similarly to wrinkles it may take up to 6 months to complete remodeling and remove damaged tissue. Curated treatment plans are provided through your consultation with Dr Syed.
