Agnes RF

Agnes RF is a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to precisely target and reduce unwanted fat, tighten skin, and improve facial contours without surgery. At CK Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, Dr. Charles Kim utilizes Agnes RF to treat concerns such as under-eye bags, jowls, submental fullness, and localized facial fat with exceptional accuracy. By delivering controlled radiofrequency energy directly into targeted tissue layers, Agnes RF promotes fat reduction and collagen remodeling while preserving surrounding structures. Dr. Kim’s comprehensive facial analysis and personalized treatment planning ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime, making Agnes RF an advanced alternative to surgical facial contouring for select patients.

Overview

Agnes RF is an advanced radiofrequency-based treatment that offers targeted fat reduction and skin tightening through a highly controlled, minimally invasive approach. Unlike traditional non-surgical skin tightening devices that deliver energy superficially, Agnes RF uses insulated microneedles to deliver precise radiofrequency energy directly into specific tissue layers. This allows for selective treatment of unwanted fat pockets and lax skin while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.

At CK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Charles Kim incorporates Agnes RF as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation and contouring strategy. Each treatment begins with a detailed consultation and facial assessment, often supported by advanced imaging and anatomical evaluation. Dr. Kim carefully identifies areas of concern such as under-eye fat protrusion, lower eyelid bags, mild to moderate jowling, jawline laxity, nasolabial fullness, and submental fat. This meticulous planning ensures the radiofrequency energy is delivered exactly where it is needed for optimal results.

Agnes RF works by generating controlled thermal energy that coagulates targeted fat cells and stimulates collagen contraction and remodeling. Over time, the treated fat cells are naturally metabolized by the body, while collagen production improves skin firmness and elasticity. This dual mechanism makes Agnes RF particularly effective for patients seeking facial contour improvement without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended recovery periods.

Dr. Kim’s approach emphasizes artful precision and natural balance. Rather than over-reducing fat or aggressively tightening the skin, Agnes RF treatments are customized to maintain facial harmony and avoid a hollowed or over-treated appearance. This patient-centered philosophy reflects Dr. Kim’s extensive experience in both surgical and non-surgical facial procedures, allowing him to select Agnes RF when it is the most appropriate solution or to recommend alternative treatments when necessary.

Agnes RF is commonly used for non-surgical under-eye bag reduction, lower eyelid fat tightening, jawline contouring, double chin reduction, facial fat sculpting, and skin tightening in delicate areas where traditional devices may be less effective. The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia, offering patients a safe, efficient, and effective option for targeted facial refinement with gradual, natural-looking results.

The Process

Recovery & Risks

Agnes RF is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure when performed by an experienced provider such as Dr. Charles Kim. However, as with any aesthetic treatment, there are potential risks and a recovery process patients should understand. Common temporary side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. These effects typically resolve within several days to one week, although under-eye treatments may experience slightly prolonged swelling.

Following the procedure, patients may notice small entry points from the microneedles, which heal naturally without scarring when proper aftercare instructions are followed. Dr. Kim provides detailed post-treatment guidance to help minimize swelling after Agnes RF, reduce bruising, and promote optimal healing. Cold compresses, head elevation, and avoiding strenuous activity are commonly recommended during the initial recovery phase.

Rare risks may include infection, prolonged swelling, temporary numbness, uneven results, or skin irregularities. These risks are minimized through precise energy delivery, careful patient selection, and Dr. Kim’s in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. Results from Agnes RF develop gradually as the body processes treated fat cells and collagen remodeling occurs. Most patients notice continued improvement over several weeks to months.

Patients typically return to normal daily activities within a few days, making Agnes RF an attractive option for those seeking effective facial contouring with limited downtime. Follow-up visits at CK Plastic Surgery ensure proper healing, evaluate progress, and determine whether additional treatments may enhance results.
