AGNES: Four Commonly Asked Questions About this Anti-acne Treatment
Are you tired of fighting acne without success? If you have tried topical and oral treatments without tangible results, it’s time to try AGNES acne treatment in Kapolei, Hawaii. AGNES combines radio frequency (RF) energy with microneedling to treat the most stubborn acne breakouts. End your acne woes by scheduling an appointment with Pua Manu Med Spa. Our board-certified doctor, Dr. Nancy Chen, uses the revolutionary AGNES treatment to address tough-to-treat acne.
What is AGNES acne treatment?
Acne is an inflammatory skin disease affecting the sebaceous glands of skin follicles. It typically affects the face, chest, and back and manifests as blackheads, pimples, and whiteheads, but severe cases appear as nodules and cysts.Â
For years, acne treatments focused primarily on topical solutions like creams, gels, and lotions. While effective for some, these treatments only provide temporary relief and often fail to address the underlying causes of acne. AGNES targets and eliminates the sebaceous glands without damaging the outer skin.Â
AGNES uses tiny, partially insulated needles (microneedles) and radio frequency energy. This dual approach eradicates the troublesome sebaceous glands while protecting the skin’s outer layer (the epidermis) from potential heat-related damage.
What should I expect from AGNES RF treatment?
You’ll need at least two appointments to treat acne with AGNES treatment. During the first treatment, Dr. Chen will apply a topical anesthetic cream on the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Then, we’ll cleanse your skin and remove the excess sebum from the hair follicles. Next, we’ll insert a micro-thin needle in the targeted follicles. The microneedle delivers the RF energy to the sebaceous gland, destroying it.Â
During your second treatment, the doctor will use a bipolar radiofrequency and a surface probe to remove any remaining dirt, debris, and impurities. Each treatment session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and severity of your case. Generally, most patients get the expected outcomes with 2-3 treatments in a month.Â
Patients can resume their everyday lives immediately after treatment. However, it is best to avoid strenuous exercises and direct sunlight exposure for 24-48 hours. Â
