From the beginning of the procedure prep (numbing) to the end of the procedures involving both the Agnes and Scarlet machines everyone involved was wonderful. Both Debbie and Dr Martin made me feel at ease by explaining what they were doing and then checking in to make sure I was comfortable throughout. It was evident at every step that Debbie has extensive experience and Dr Martin is fully invested in ensuring a high level of patient satisfaction. I highly recommend any services involving Dr Martin, Debbie, Agnes and Scarlet!
FDA Approved
Agnes RF is an FDA-approved microneedling treatment that also uses radiofrequency (RF) energy at precise temperatures to regenerate healthy cells and improve skin quality. It is a minimally-invasive procedure that is ideal for all skin tones and skin types. The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production to lift and tighten the skin. The microneedles also melt fat when the device is used under the eyes, along the jawline, and under the chin for a younger and more sculpted appearance.
Agnes RF FAQ
-
1. What is IPL treatment?IPL treatment is a non-invasive light-based therapy that uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to target various skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and rosacea. Intense pulsed light, or IPL, emits multiple wavelengths into your skin and targets melanin-producing cells that rise to the surface and pigmented areas. The light is converted to heat energy and destroys those melanin-producing cells. They’re brought to the surface and then flake off, revealing revitalized skin. The same technology works for eliminating acne, vascular lesions, sun damage, freckles and spider veins. We can treat almost anywhere on your body!
-
2. What machine do you use?We use the Alpha Pro for our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments. The Alpha Pro is a state-of-the-art device that delivers precise, targeted bursts of light to the skin to treat a variety of concerns, including sun damage, and skin discoloration. This machine features advanced cooling technology to minimize discomfort during the treatment, and its customizable settings allow us to tailor the treatment to meet the unique needs of each patient.
-
3. Is IPL treatment painful?Most patients experience only mild discomfort during IPL treatment. You may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and requires no anesthesia.
-
4. How many IPL treatments will I need?Multiple treatments may be needed to achieve the desired results, spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin time to heal between sessions. Your technician will be able to give you a better idea of how long your specific treatment plan will take during your consultation.
-
5. Is IPL treatment safe?IPL treatment is generally safe when performed by a licensed and experienced provider. However, like any medical procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects, including skin irritation, redness, and temporary pigment changes. We take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure our patients’ safety.
-
6. How do I prepare for my appointment?Avoid applying any topical products the day of your appointment. Do not apply sunless tanner for the two weeks prior to your treatment date. This includes the tanning bed.
-
7. How long is each appointment?The length of an IPL treatment can vary depending on the area being treated and the specific concerns being addressed. In general, a session can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. During the treatment, the technician will use the IPL handpiece to deliver pulses of light to the skin, targeting areas of discoloration or redness.
-
8. What to expect post-treatment?After an IPL treatment, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few hours to a few days. It is also common to experience some darkening of the treated areas, which may flake off over time as the skin naturally exfoliates. To minimize your risk of complications after an IPL treatment, it is important to follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your esthetician. This may include avoiding sun exposure, applying ice or cooling gel to the treated area, and using gentle skincare products until your skin has fully healed. It is also important to note that the results of an IPL treatment may not be immediate. It can take several weeks or even months for the full effects of the treatment to become apparent. During this time, it is important to be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to ensure the best possible outcome.

-
2. How does the laser cause permanent hair reduction?The laser fires a beam of light energy, that light energy is absorbed by the melanin, the pigmentation and the blood vessels of the hair follicle. When the follicle absorbs the light, the light is converted into heat, which then destroys the follicle. Once the hair follicle is destroyed, it ceases to re-grow hair. Hair follicles go through transitions of being active and dormant. During your treatment the laser will cover all of the skin’s surface area; however, only the active follicles will be affected by the laser. Due to the fact that only about 30 to 50% of your hair is active at any point in time, it will require multiple treatments to ensure that we get each and every hair follicle.
