Developed by Dr. Gun Young Ahn, a Korean dermatologist, Agnes is a medical device that uses radiofrequency technology to specifically target various skin depths and hence various skin issues like cystic acne, large pores, wrinkles and skin laxity. The device utilises specialised coated micro-needles to precisely deliver the Rf energy to the targeted treatment areas, without affecting surrounding skin structures. This results in a safe treatment with minimal dontime.
excellent for acne (including cystic acne)
enlarged and clogged pores
syringomas
static wrinkles and lines
double chin
1)ideal for individuals who are looking for effective acne treatment WITHOUT the use of oral medications.
2)those who are seeking laser removal of syringomas without the prolonged downtime of Co2 laser which is commonly used.
During the treatment; the Agnes specialised needle is first inserted into the targeted area (for instance acne or wrinkle ) , and the machine is then triggered to deliver energy pulses directly into the targeted treatment area..
Normally only numbing cream is required and is applied 20 mins prior before the procedure.
The common side effects may include mild and short-term localised redness and swelling for the treatment of acne, pores and syringomas which normally resolved rather quickly.
