Agnes RF Microneedling Treatment Overview
Selective RF Correction Informed by Skin Structure
Agnes RF Microneedling uses insulated microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy at precise depths beneath the skin. This allows targeted thermal response within fibrous tissue, sebaceous glands, or localized fat while protecting the epidermis.
At Gerrish MedEsthetics, Agnes is not applied broadly or routinely. It is introduced only when deeper correction is appropriate and when the skin is prepared to respond predictably. Treatment decisions prioritize long-term tissue integrity over short-term tightening.
Every plan balances art and science. Not every concern requires this level of intervention.
How Agnes RF Is Used Within AGE Technologies™
Technology Is a Tool. Timing Is the Treatment.
Agnes RF Microneedling may be considered based on:
• Tissue depth and density
• Sebaceous gland activity or recurrent congestion
• Localized fullness, including under-eye fat pads
• Skin thickness and elasticity
• Inflammatory load and healing response
All decisions are guided by The AGE Method™, Dr. Gerrish’s proprietary diagnostic and sequencing framework. Agnes is used when precision matters and when other technologies would be insufficient or excessive.
Clinical Guardrails
What We Don’t Do Matters
• We do not use Agnes as a general tightening device
• We do not over-deliver RF energy
• We do not stack treatments unnecessarily
• We do not compromise skin barrier health
• We do not rush structural correction
Agnes RF Microneedling requires careful planning, controlled delivery, and appropriate recovery time.
What Can Be Addressed
Agnes RF Microneedling may be appropriate for addressing:
• Under-eye fullness related to localized fat or tissue laxity
• Persistent acne or sebaceous gland activity
• Structural skin laxity in select facial areas
• Fibrotic tissue contributing to contour irregularities
• Concerns requiring depth-specific RF delivery
Suitability is determined during consultation. Agnes is not indicated for every skin type or concern.
What to Expect
Session Length: Varies by treatment area and indication
Comfort: Local anesthesia is typically used
Downtime: Swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur during recovery
Treatment Plan: Often staged, with appropriate spacing to support healing and tissue response
Your plan is guided by tissue behavior and recovery, not speed.

Quick answers to questions you may have
Q:Is Agnes RF uncomfortable?
A: Agnes RF is typically well tolerated. Local anesthesia is used to support comfort, and most patients describe sensations of pressure or warmth rather than pain. Treatment intensity is carefully controlled based on the area being addressed.
Q: When do results begin to appear?
A: Early changes may be noticeable within the first few weeks as tissue response begins. Structural improvement continues to develop gradually as collagen remodeling unfolds over time.
Q: What is the expected downtime?
A: Some swelling, redness, or tenderness is expected following treatment, particularly in areas requiring deeper correction. These effects typically resolve within several days, and most patients resume normal activities shortly thereafter.
Q: Is Agnes RF appropriate for darker skin tones?
Yes. Yes. Agnes RF uses insulated microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy at controlled depths, helping protect the skin surface. This makes it appropriate for all Fitzpatrick skin types when used thoughtfully and conservatively.
Is Agnes RF Microneedling Right for You?
Agnes may be appropriate if you:
- Have concerns that require depth-specific correction
- Prefer a physician-directed, conservative approach
- Understand that recovery and results are progressive
- Value long-term skin integrity over quick tightening
Some concerns may be better served by other AGE Technologies™. This determination is made during consultation.
Next Steps
Begin with The AGE Method™
Agnes RF Microneedling is introduced only when it supports your long-term structural and regenerative outcome. Every plan begins with The AGE Method™, Dr. Gerrish’s proprietary diagnostic and planning process.
During your consultation, we assess tissue depth, skin behavior, inflammatory load, and regenerative readiness to determine if Agnes should be used, when it should be introduced, and how it should be sequenced within your care plan.
Schedule your consultation at our Scottsdale clinic to receive a recommendation built around your skin, your structure, and your timeline.
