Laser skin resurfacing and Agnes RF are both aesthetic treatments that can help improve a range of skin concerns. However, Agnes RF is better than skin laser treatment for many reasons. Agnes RF requires less downtime post-treatment compared to facial resurfacing, Agnes RF is safe and effective on all skin types, and Agnes RF is specially designed to treat small, delicate areas of the face.

1. Agnes RF Requires Minimal to Zero Downtime

Agnes RF requires significantly less recovery time compared to laser resurfacing treatment. Many patients who undergo laser facial resurfacing, especially ablative laser resurfacing, require two-plus weeks of downtime. This is because ablative laser skin resurfacing removes the top layer of the skin, which can not only be painful but inevitably require a significantly longer recovery time. Not to mention, as the new skin from the ablative laser treatment regenerates, the new skin will be more susceptible to Sun damage.

Agnes RF requires minimal to zero downtime post-treatment, so patients can go about their day, uninterrupted, post-treatment. Ablative laser resurfacing can present a range of uncomfortable side effects like redness, swelling, itching, and pain which can last for several weeks. Meanwhile, patients who undergo Agnes RF may experience some redness and discomfort; however, not nearly as long as laser facial resurfacing treatment.

Furthermore, because Agnes RF only creates tiny punctures within the skin, this means the top layer of the skin is left intact and thus is less likely to develop scarring and infection.

2. Agnes RF Is Safe & Effective On All Skin Types

Laser skin resurfacing is best suited for lighter skin types as patients with darker skin tones are at a greater risk of experiencing hyperpigmentation from the treatment. Meanwhile, Agnes RF is safe and effective for all skin types. This means Agnes RF offers the ability to treat any patient that walks through your practice’s doors, which means you can help more patients and increase your practice’s profitability.

3. Agnes RF Precisely Improves Small Treatment Areas

While laser skin resurfacing and Agnes RF offer precise treatment results, Agnes RF is specifically designed to treat small facial treatment areas requiring utmost precision and accuracy such as the upper eyelids and under-eye area. Dark circles and sagging eyelids are some of the leading visible signs of aging on the face, yet due to their close proximity to the eye, treating these concerns inevitably warrants extreme caution and precision.

The Agnes RF helps improve these smaller, more delicate treatment areas so patients can look years younger in under 30 minutes.
