The Non Surgical Solution to Acne, Eye Bags, and More
Agnes RF is a non-surgical radio frequency device that treats eye bags without having to go under the knife! It also tightens and removes fat from the neck and jowl area. Cystic acne is treated by removing the sebaceous (oil) gland, which causes acne and blackheads. Agnes RF is a cosmetic breakthrough! There is no other device that can safely and non-invasively treat under-eye bags, sculpt the neck and jowl area, and treat cystic acne with minimal downtime.

Agnes RF is an innovative skin tightening treatment that uses the power of radiofrequency energy-enabled microneedles to boost collagen production and provide natural-looking results. With the help of RF energy penetrating at specific depths, Agnes RF works to:
- Treats skin laxity and sagging
- Melts fat on contact
- Improve skin texture and smoothness
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Plump the skin
- Promote collagen production
- Tighten the face and neck
- Treats scars
Often, sagging skin is simply a byproduct of the body’s natural aging process. When you’re younger, your body produces a plethora of collagen and elastin (fibers that create the structure for your skin). However, around your 30s, production slows, and without a strong framework, your skin falls—you can thank gravity for that.
Sagging facial skin is not all from aging, though. Some lifestyle factors can contribute to early onset skin laxity:
- Dietary choices
- Hydration levels
- Genetics
- Sun exposure
- Significant weight loss
- Chronic stress
- Smoking
Before and After Agnes RF
Some people believe Agnes RF is a laser skin tightening procedure; to be clear, Agnes RF skin tightening is not a laser treatment. Although both techniques use energy to heat underlying tissue, there are key differences in how they work.
Unlike lasers, which are light-based forms of energy, RF energy is electricity that we carefully control with specialized devices like the Agnes RF. This electricity produces heat when it is conducted into the skin.
The heat from RF treatment causes fat coagulation and tightens collagen fibers in the skin while also stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. RF energy helps promote a more youthful appearance by reducing sagging skin.
To heal the skin, your fibroblasts, cells that make up connective tissue, work overtime to create more collagen. Collagen then builds into a fresh framework to support your skin, helping you achieve a tighter, younger look. We typically recommend clients undergo a series of Agnes RF treatments to achieve the ultimate results.
Since it takes time for collagen to build up, your results will continue improving throughout the months following your skin tightening treatment at Optimum Health of Utah. This means you’ll continue to see your results improve long after your treatment is done, all without stitches or downtime!
What to Expect
Consultation
We first want to get to know you! We offer consultations to anyone interested in a skin-tightening treatment. During your consultation, we’ll talk to you about your concerns and goals. We’ll also examine your level of skin laxity and determine the best course of treatment.
Note: Agnes RF addresses mild-to-moderate loose skin. If we notice significant skin laxity, we may suggest you speak to a plastic surgeon about your options.
Treatment Day
You won’t have to go under general anesthesia or go under the surgeons knife with Agnes RF. Instead, we’ll lie you down and use the handpiece on the treatment area(s) to deliver radio-frequency energy at precise depths.
One of the major benefits of RF energy is that it is safe for all skin tones and textures. With certain types of lasers, treatment may not be safe for individuals with darker skin tones. However, RF energy is safe to use on all shades of skin.
Post-Treatment
With no recovery time needed, you won’t have to take off work or waste any time lying in bed. You may notice some redness, tenderness, or pinpoint bleeding that resolves quickly. Although you can go back to your normal routine, make sure you apply SPF daily to protect your skin and help maintain your results.
