  • About the Procedure

    This procedure is performed by a trained healthcare professional, physician, or physician assistant, who is licensed to practice medicine in the State of Hawaii. The AGNES procedure is performed in a safe and precise manner with a single-use sterile micro-insulated needle. The treatment session usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the area(s) being treated. After the procedure, the treatment area(s) will be red, with mild swelling and/or bruising, and your skin might feel tight and sensitive to the touch. Although these symptoms may take four to fourteen days to resolve completely, they will be diminished significantly within a couple of days after the treatment. Risk of RF AGNES Micro-Needling includes

    Infection

    Although it is unusual, viral, bacterial, and fungal infections can occur anytime the integrity of the skin is compromised. Should infection occur, you must contact or return to our office immediately, as additional treatment will likely be necessary.

    Pigmentation

    Because of dermal penetration of the AGNES procedure, failure to follow post treatment instructions can put you at risk for hyperpigmentation. You MUST avoid sun exposure for a 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment. You should also wear a daily SPF facial moisturizer, which your doctor or esthetician can recommend. Lastly, avoid picking and/or peeling the skin during healing period.

    Scarring

    Although normal healing after the procedure is expected, abnormal scars may occur in both skin and deeper tissues. In rare cases, thickened or keloid scars may result. Scars may be unattractive and of different color than surrounding skin. Additional treatments may be needed to treat scarring.

    Pain

    There may be a very slight burning, scratchy, and irritated sensation to the skin. This is usually temporary and is gone within a few days after treatment. A sudden reappearance of redness or pain is a sign of infection and you should notify our office immediately. Persistent Redness, Itching, and/or Swelling Itching, redness, and swelling are normal parts of the healing process. These symptoms rarely persists longer than 24 hours. However, treatments received less than 4 weeks apart may induce prolonged symptoms. Allergic Reaction An allergic reaction from AGNES RF micro-insulated needling procedure is nearly impossible. However, it can cause you to be hypersensitive to any products used on the face since the procedure increases the penetration of topical substances. If an allergic reaction were to occur, you must contact our office immediately, as it may require further treatment.
