Before & After Photos
Agnes RF is an advanced radiofrequency micro-needling technology designed to address various skin concerns. It is particularly effective for individuals experiencing acne, sagging skin, jowls, and eye bags. The treatment employs micro-insulated needles to deliver radiofrequency energy, minimizing skin damage while targeting sebaceous glands to reduce acne. Additionally, Agnes RF helps burn excess fat and stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. This makes it ideal for treating issues like eye bags, dark circles, and a poorly defined jawline. Furthermore, Agnes RF is beneficial for improving uneven texture, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and scars.

About Agnes RF
AGNES RF was carefully developed over two decades by Dr. Gun Young Ahn, with the intention of being used as a permanent solution to acne. After successfully developing the device, Dr. Ahn discovered that AGNES RF has the unique ability to inject RF energy and could be used in a variety of ways.

How does Agnes RF Work?
Agnes RF utilizes Radio Frequency (RF) energy for tissue coagulation and electrothermolysis. Micro-insulated needles penetrate the skin at specific points, distributing radiofrequency energy at precise temperatures to generate a tissue response without damaging the epidermis. This makes microneedling with AGNES RF simple, precise, and effective.
