All About RF Agnes (AGNES RF)

What is RF Agnes?

AGNES RF is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical radiofrequency microneedling device developed in South Korea and introduced in the U.S. in 2017.

It uses micro-insulated needles that deliver square-wave RF energy into targeted tissue layers, allowing precision treatment of fat, acne, wrinkles, and sagging skin—while sparing the surface skin.
