AGNES is on your side: Advanced acne-fighting treatment
Pua Manu MedSpa distinguishes itself from other providers in Kapolei, Hawaii, and beyond with state-of-the-art solutions to various cosmetic and medical dermatology concerns. These concerns include acne, the most prevalent skin condition in the United States. And it’s not just a teenager’s problem. Adults can develop acne for the first time or for the first time in a long time due to hormonal changes. Fortunately, we provide advanced and compassionate acne care and services through the AGNES RF microneedling system.
The problem: Too much oil
AGNES treatment targets the root cause of pimples: the over-production of natural oils. When the sebaceous glands produce too much of what is otherwise a good thing, the hair follicles or pores may become congested with oil and bacteria. AGNES targets the glands that produce sebum or oil. The treated glands then shrink, inhibiting their ability to produce sebum. By resolving the source of acne, you can reduce the frequency and severity of acne breakouts or flare-ups.Â
The solution: RF + micro needling
The AGNES system combines two powerhouse therapies into easy, convenient, and effective treatment. The RF energy penetrating the skin and targeting the oil glands is delivered precisely and safely through very small needles. These needles are attached to a handheld, pen-like device. The microneedling portion of treatment also encourages skin healing. As the small microchannels or micro injuries produced by these needles heal, the body makes more firming collagen and elastin. This feature also makes AGNES an appropriate solution for our patients who are grappling with painful reminders of past acne breakouts in the form of scars. The renewed collagen helps to soften and “fill in” the depressions and uneven surfaces associated with acne scarring.

Experience the many benefits.
Our doctors may recommend AGNES for long-term acne clearance. So, it is an appropriate option for individuals who may be frustrated by the lack of or lackluster results associated with topical products, medications, and other therapies. Additionally, it is a suitable treatment for many different types of patients – from those with mild pimples to individuals with more severe cysts and nodules. It is also ideal for all skin types and tones and may be used predictably on the face and other sites of scarring and active acne, such as the back and chest. Since it is not an invasive procedure, you can return to your busy schedule immediately – no downtime or recovery. The treatment itself is tolerated well with a numbing topical or anesthetic.
