The AGNES Radiofrequency technology offers a treatment method known as Selective Sebaceous Gland Destruction, precisely designed to target and eliminate troublesome sebaceous glands without causing thermal damage to the skin's surface. This technology provides a long-lasting solution for persistent acne concerns.
Utilizing advanced techniques involving small partially insulated needles and a unique square waveform monopolar and radio-frequency energy, this innovative approach selectively eradicates problematic sebaceous glands while safeguarding the skin's outer layer (the epidermis) from potential heat-related injuries.
Different Types of Acne Breakouts
Diverse presentations of acne in its different forms. Each type of acne is characterized by different appearances, and those grappling with acne may often notice a combination of these types simultaneously.
Acne manifests in various forms, ranging from mild conditions like blackheads and whiteheads to moderate forms such as pustules and papules. Severe cases can also appear as nodules and cysts, heightening the risk of acne scarring.
Agnes Acne Radiofrequency is suitable for all skin types, making it a popular treatment in Singapore for those struggling with persistent and active acne problems. It effectively addresses acne conditions such as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, papules, cystic acne, and nodular acne by eradicating the sebaceous glands that harbour acne-causing bacteria, preventing future outbreaks in treated areas for a permanent solution.

What to Expect from AGNES Acne RF Treatments
Before the treatment, we apply a topical anaesthetic cream to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure.
We begin by cleansing and scaling the skin, followed by the extraction of excess sebum from the hair follicles.
A minute micro-needle is then inserted into the skin follicle and sebaceous glands to deliver a Monopolar Radiofrequency current, effectively eliminating problematic glands.
The following day, a bipolar radiofrequency current is utilised with a surface probe to loosen any remaining dirt, debris and impurities, facilitating their removal for a thorough deep, skin cleanse.

This individualized approach ensures that the treatment plan addresses your specific needs effectively, leading to optimal results and minimizing the risk of adverse outcomes.
