As we age, our dermal structure becomes less able to repair itself, which can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, or uneven skin tone and texture. Cosmetic treatments and procedures can help patients achieve healthy, glowing skin through all stages of life.
Vital Dermatology NJ offers a range of cosmetic procedures that create a smooth, healthy, and youthful-looking appearance. One of our powerful treatments for rejuvenating the skin is Agnes RF— a safe and effective resurfacing laser in our Parsippany NJ locations.
WHAT IS RF MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling is a technique that uses tiny needles to create microscopic injuries in the skin. Microneedling has been touted as a way to firm up aging skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin tone. The micro-injuries are not visible but spur the body’s natural healing process, including collagen and elastin production. As the injuries heal, it creates healthier skin cells and a refreshed appearance.
WHAT IS AGNES RF?
Agnes RF is an FDA-approved microneedling treatment that also uses radiofrequency (RF) energy at precise temperatures to regenerate healthy cells and improve skin quality. It is a minimally-invasive procedure that is ideal for all skin tones and skin types. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production to lift and tighten the skin. The microneedles also melt fat when the device is used under the eyes, along the jawline, and under the chin for a younger and more sculpted appearance.
Agnes RF has nine different needles designed to treat more skin concerns than any other microneedling device. Agnes is an innovative tool that effectively treats multiple conditions and areas with lasting results.
WHAT DOES AGNES RF TREAT?
Skin Laxity
Eye Bags
Acne
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Jowl Formation
Submental Fat
Drooping Brow Line
When Agnes RF is used above the eyes, it can tighten sagging skin that leads to a drooping brown line. The radiofrequency energy constricts the tissue and boosts collagen level for a non-surgical brow lift.
Agnes RF treats additional concerns, including:
- Skin laxity around the neck
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged and clogged pores
- Sagging skin
- Other types of scars
BENEFITS OF AGNES RF FOR SKIN REJUVENATION
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A TREATMENT SESSION
Patients do not have to prepare for their Agnes RF treatment. It is a fast and simple procedure lasting approximately 15-30 minutes. A numbing cream is applied or an injectable anesthetic is administered to the treatment area, and the handheld device uses RF energy as it creates micro-injuries on the skin.
Your Spring Street dermatologist will select the correct Agnes needle to address your specific skin concerns. Choosing a skilled, board-certified physician is important because different needles are required to treat various conditions. The same needle would not be used on an acne patient as a patient looking to resolve undereye bags. The ability to customize the treatment correctly ensures your procedure is safe and successful.
Patients with severe conditions or wanting to address multiple concerns may require a series of treatment sessions. For the best results, many patients need 2-3 treatments, spaced about 3-6 months apart. Your physician will create a treatment plan for you based on your desires and the severity of the condition.
RECOVERY AND RESULTS
For most treatments with Agnes RF, the downtime and recovery are minimal. Recovery and side effects vary based on the type of treatment. For example, a patient using Agnes for acne can expect redness for 1-3 days, while a patient using Agnes for the sensitive area under the eyes can expect swelling and redness for 3-7 days.
Patients can return to normal daily activities right away, but should avoid strenuous activities that may impact the treatment area. Patients can apply ice packs to help relieve any discomfort and reduce swelling.
Agnes RF can make some skin conditions appear worse than before the treatment initially, but positive improvements will gradually develop over the weeks and months following your procedure. The skin begins to reshape and remove damaged tissue as the body employs its natural healing and collagen and elastin production increases.

AGNES RF QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

BOTOX
Frowning, squinting, and smiling leave behind fine lines and wrinkles over time. Neuromodulators can be injected directly with a tiny needle into the muscles responsible and work by reducing crease-causing contractions.
DERMAL FILLERS
As we mature, loss of volume leads to wrinkles, prominent nasolabial folds, thinned lips, exaggerated jowls, and marionette lines. The natural deterioration of underlying bone and soft tissue leaves a hollowed, aged appearance. Fillers injected below the skin surface can correct age-related volume loss.
LASEMD
LaseMD is a fractional laser treatment that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns. The new and improved LaseMD is a non-ablative fractional laser for rejuvenation and pigmentation from Lutronic.
