Lift, Tighten, Sculpt the Face & Body — Without Surgery

Agnes Ultra is the only precision nonsurgical radiofrequency face and body contouring solution in aesthetics. This breakthrough treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy into one streamlined procedure for phenomenal results, capable of selectively targeting deep tissue to sculpt, lift, tighten, and eliminate areas of fat without surgery or downtime.

Agnes RF is a radio frequency microneedling treatment that precisely delivers RF energy into targeted areas of the skin to eliminate unwanted fat, reduce the appearance of eyebags, lift, tighten and contour loose skin in the face, neck, and body. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production for long lasting results.

The precision of the radio frequency energy that Agnes Ultra delivers allows us to truly sculpt the body without surgery.

Safe for all skin types, Agnes Ultra treats a wide variety of concerns. The treatment effectively diminishes unwanted fat and tightens and contours by stimulating healthy collagen production to lift and contour the face, jawline, neck, arms, abdomen, breasts, legs, above the knees and the buttocks. We use Agnes for full face and neck lifts and can even raise the eyebrows and smooth the delicate tissue around the eyes and eyelids.

By destroying overactive sweat glands, Agnes RF microneedling can also treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

Agnes Ultra harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy to treat:

    • Skin laxity and sagging
    • Skin texture
    • Large pores
    • Scars
    • Fine lines and wrinkles
    • Collagen production
    • Acne
    • Stretch marks
    • Hyperpigmentation
    • Rosacea
    • Sebaceous hyperplasia
    • Syringomas (bumps from overgrowth of your sweat glands)
    • Eye bags
    • Hyperhidrosis

The treatment may take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the areas you’re having treated. The submental area (under your chin), for example, takes about 20 minutes. People say this treatment feels like pressure as you will have been numbed with injectable lidocaine prior to the treatment.

Agnes Ultra treatments start at $1,500. The cost of the treatment will depend on your unique goals, the treatment area and concern, and how many sessions you’ll need. All patients need two sessions, but some can see great results after just one.  Eye treatments may require four sessions.

When you consult with us for Agnes Ultra, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to meet your goals.

You’ll see improvement after one treatment, but it’s typical your treatment plan can require a series of up to four sessions to achieve your goal results.

The results of each treatment will continue to improve over the following months as your body heals and produces its own healthy collagen.

Once your body has eliminated the affected fat cells and glands and produced healthy new collagen and elastin, you can expect to enjoy long term results for generally one to two years. Agnes Ultra produces brand new tissue, although nothing can completely stop the aging process.

The fat pad that supports the eyes can sink as we age, and the surrounding muscles and tissues weaken over time. This along with fluids collecting in the area can make them appear swollen and form what we often call “eye bags.”

One of the most popular uses for Agnes Ultra is to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags. This is also arguably its most impressive ability as this area is infamously sensitive to treatments because of the delicate tissue around it.

Loose skin and fat tend to move to the bottom of your face as you age, often causing jowling and the “double chin.” Agnes can lift, tighten, and contour the neck and jowl area by removing stubborn fat and sculpting to highlight the natural contour of your jawline.

The microneedles allow us to go beneath the surface of your skin with radio frequency energy to tighten the underlying tissue and reduce the size of fat pockets without surgery.

As with any nonsurgical treatment, Agnes has its limitations.

Microneedling can’t give you the dramatic results of a surgical facelift because it does not involve the removal of excess skin and tissue.

Your comfort is important to us. You should feel little discomfort if any from Agnes microneedling because we prepare you for treatment with either a topical and/or an injectable numbing agent.

Skin-supporting proteins or autologous serum combined with Agnes RF can further enhance your results, improve your overall healing process and take the anti-aging effects of the treatment to the next level.
Agnes RF was first developed by Korean dermatologist Dr. Gun Young Ahn to treat acne by eliminating the sebaceous oil glands. Soon after this original application exceeded doctors’ expectations, they realized it had a unique ability to nonsurgically treat a wide range of concerns.

Several clinical studies prove its abilities to treat lower eyelid fat bulging, acne, wrinkles around the eyes, scars, and more.

To minimize the chance of any complications during your Agnes Ultra appointment, we ask that you:

  • Avoid getting any invasive laser treatments or chemical peels for the 4 weeks leading up to your radio frequency microneedling appointment
  • Stop taking blood thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for 10 days before your treatment as long as your primary care doctor approves
  • Steer clear of clinical skin care products that contain strong ingredients like retinol for 4 weeks prior to your treatment
  • Avoid natural and artificial tanning for two weeks leading up to your appointment
  • After treatment, prepare for 7-10 days of social downtime as the treatment area heals

It’s normal to have some redness, bruising, and/or swelling for up to 10 days after your treatment, but these should gradually resolve on their own.

Any visible side effects should only last a week at the most. Since the Agnes targets deep into the tissue, you may experience some numbness for up to four weeks.

If your goal is to sculpt, lift, firm, tighten, and smooth, Agnes Ultra is your answer.

It’s safe for all skin types, so anyone with stubborn fat and lax skin, eye bags, jowling, and/or a “double chin” can benefit from this radio frequency microneedling treatment.

We don’t recommend Agnes RF microneedling if you:

  • Are pregnant
  • Have uncontrolled diabetes
  • Have underlying infectious disease
  • Have a pacemaker
  • Have specific types of metal implants (check with us during your consultation to see if your implants can cause any complications during your RF microneedling treatment)
