Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Agnes RF Work?
Agnes RF combines advanced Radiofrequency (RF) technology with micro-needling. This innovative treatment uses a fine, insulated needle to deliver RF energy directly into specific layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
The powerful energy at the needle’s tip contracts and tightens lax skin, reduces acne scars and melts small pockets of unwanted facial fat. The precision of the partially insulated needle ensures effective targeting of treatment areas while preserving the integrity of surrounding tissues and preventing burns to the epidermis.

- Downtime: Minimal to none, with some swelling lasting up to a week.
- Results: Immediate tightening effects with progressive improvement over six months.

Am I a Good Candidate for Agnes RF?
Agnes RF microneedling is perfect if you are looking to improve skin and facial concerns with precision and minimal downtime. This treatment excels in:

When Should I Avoid Agnes RF?

- Active acne.
- A history of keloid scars.

- Extreme skin laxity or large fat deposits.
Consult with Dr. Schwarzburg to determine if Agnes RF is the right choice for you.
How Do I Prepare for the Treatment?
Preparation is key to ensuring your Agnes RF treatment at Skinly Aesthetics is effective and minimizes potential side effects. Before your scheduled session:
- Hydrate: Well-hydrated skin responds better to the treatment and heals faster.
- Discuss Medications: Inform Dr. Schwarzburg about medications or supplements you’re currently taking, especially blood thinners or NSAIDs.
- Avoid Alcohol: Forgo alcoholic beverages for 48 hours prior to your treatment to prevent excess bleeding.
- Plan Ahead: Schedule your session when you can comfortably accommodate the recovery period, as swelling may last up to a week.
What Is the Actual Process of Agnes RF?
First, local lidocaine injections are administered to ensure a pain-free experience. Dr. Schwarzburg then meticulously inserts a specialized hypodermic insulated needle into the targeted area, capable of penetrating up to 5mm below the skin’s surface. The needle’s depth and intensity are precisely adjusted throughout the procedure to achieve the desired outcomes, whether it’s skin tightening, fat reduction, or other skin concerns.
The RF energy leads to immediate skin tightening and fat melting. The procedure concludes with cleansing the treated area with a sterile saline solution, applying ice packs to reduce initial swelling, and providing post-care instructions.
How Long Does Agnes RF Take?
The Agnes RF procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size, complexity, and goals of the treatment area. For example, melting under-eye fat will take more time than under-the-chin fat reduction.
What Is the Aftercare?
Post-treatment care is crucial for optimal results and a smooth recovery. Avoid touching or picking at the treated area and protect it from direct sunlight. Refrain from activities that cause sweating and increased blood flow to the treated area. Monitor for any persistent swelling, redness, or bruising and report these to Dr. Schwarzburg. Apply a cold compress and take Ibuprofen to reduce swelling.
What Is the Downtime for Agnes RF?
Downtime for Agnes RF is minimal to none, with most patients resuming daily activities within 24 hours. Swelling typically subsides within a week.
What Are the Risks and Complications?
Agnes RF is generally well-tolerated, but potential side effects include:
- Erythema: Redness that typically fades within a day or two.
- Swelling: Mild to moderate swelling that subsides within a week.
- Bruising: Possible bruising due to needle penetration.
- Tenderness and Numbness: Temporary discomfort and numbness that fade within two weeks.
When Will I See Results After Agnes RF?
You can expect to see immediate benefits such as tighter skin and reduced acne scars within 1-3 days post-procedure. Intermediate results, including further tightening of the skin and a noticeable reduction of small fat pockets, will appear within 3-4 weeks. Full results, with significant skin tightening, diminished acne scars, and reduced fat in targeted areas, become increasingly evident over 2-3 months following the treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Fat reduction from Agnes RF is permanent, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained, with up to 50% of fat eliminated in a single session. Studies show that skin tightening and lifting can improve by up to 45% in one session. For sustained skin tightening, follow-up sessions and routine skincare are recommended every 9 to 12 months.
Is Agnes RF Safe?
Yes, Agnes RF is FDA-cleared as a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified expert like Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics. This advanced technology ensures consistent energy delivery while minimizing potential risks.
Does Agnes RF Hurt?
Local injectable anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience during the Agnes RF procedure. Patients may experience temporary discomfort similar to a sunburn post-treatment.
What Is the Cost of Agnes RF?
The cost of Agnes RF varies based on the treatment area and individual needs. Prices typically start at $900 per session and can go up to $4,000 depending on the area and complexity. For specific pricing, schedule a consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg at Skinly Aesthetics.
How Is Agnes RF Different from Other RF Microneedling Technologies?
Agnes RF distinguishes itself from other radiofrequency microneedling technologies through its exceptional precision and versatility. Unlike traditional RF microneedling, such as Morpheus8 or Secret RF, which disperses energy across multiple tiny needles, Agnes RF uses a single, insulated needle to deliver highly concentrated RF energy directly to the targeted areas. This focused approach allows for more precise and effective treatment of specific skin and fat concerns without harming the surrounding tissues.
The capability to penetrate up to 5mm below the skin’s surface, a depth that other technologies cannot achieve, ensures efficient fat reduction and skin tightening. This innovative method results in more significant and quicker outcomes, positioning Agnes RF as the superior choice for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and contouring.
What Other Treatments Complement Agnes RF?
Agnes RF can be combined with various aesthetic treatments for enhanced results. When paired with dermal fillers, Agnes RF’s fat reduction and skin tightening enhance the volume and contouring effects of the fillers, creating a more defined appearance.Combining Agnes RF with neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport prevents wrinkles and enhances overall anti-aging results. Using Agnes RF with Fraxel Laser treatments improves skin texture and tightens the skin, while PDO threads lift and firm the skin, providing a nonsurgical face-lift. These combinations offer a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, addressing multiple concerns for optimal results.
Is Agnes RF Worth It?
Agnes RF offers a precise, minimally invasive solution for skin tightening and fat reduction, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking noticeable and lasting improvements without surgery.
