FAQs
-
Unlike traditional RF microneedling systems that treat larger areas of skin uniformly, Agnes RF uses micro-insulated needles for hyper-targeted precision. The insulation protects the outer layer of the skin while delivering concentrated thermal energy directly to specific deep-tissue targets—such as persistent fat pads or overactive sebaceous glands—without damaging surrounding tissue.

Under-eye bags & lower eyelid fullness
Double chin & jowls
Chronic acne and enlarged pores
-
Patients are prepped with a topical numbing cream, and local anesthetic injections may be used for deeper sessions to ensure minimal discomfort. Most patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, or bruising for 1 to 3 days following superficial treatments. Deeper treatments (such as submental fat reduction or under-eye bags) may cause localized swelling, bruising, and lingering tenderness for 3 to 7 days.
-
While many patients notice a visible improvement after just 1 session, optimal results often require 1 to 3 treatments spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the severity of the concern. Initial changes in skin firmness or acne control can appear within 2 to 3 weeks. However, full results—driven by collagen remodeling and cellular fat clearance—typically peak between 2 and 6 months post-treatment.
-
The destruction of targeted fat cells and sebaceous glands is permanent (destroyed fat cells do not regenerate). While the new collagen structure built during treatment lasts for a year or longer, it cannot completely halt natural ongoing aging. Annual maintenance sessions or proper skincare are often recommended to maintain skin tightness over time.
Iryss Thermal Titanium Ablation
Iryss is a premier, non-laser skin resurfacing treatment designed specifically to safely remodel skin and restore eye health in the delicate orbital zone. Unlike traditional lasers that use light energy, Iryss uses advanced Thermal Titanium Ablation to transfer pure, natural heat through a sterile, medical-grade titanium tip.
What Are the Benefits of Iryss?
This innovative technology provides a highly customizable experience with several unique advantages:
Advanced Delivery: Utilizes the Refine Rx delivery system for a precise and "pulse-optimized" experience.
Universal Safety: Completely safe and effective for all skin tones.
Accessibility: Can be performed safely year-round, regardless of the season.
What Conditions Does Iryss Treat?
By creating microscopic "thermal channels" in the tissue, Iryss effectively treats both aesthetic aging concerns around the eyes and therapeutic ocular issues:
The Non-Surgical Lift: Tightens and firms eyelid skin without the surgical downtime of a blepharoplasty by stimulating deep collagen and elastin production.
Wrinkle Reduction: Smooths crow's feet and brightens the under-eye area, improving tone, texture, and luminosity.
Dry Eye Relief: Targets the root cause of chronic dryness by delivering therapeutic heat to the meibomian glands to liquefy blockages.
Recovery, Post-Care, and Cost
Downtime: Iryss offers minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine in about 48 hours. You may experience a mild "sunburn" sensation for the first two days, and minor crusting may occur (taking up to a week to fully resolve).
Strict Post-Care: Do not apply makeup, sunscreen, or unapproved moisturizers for at least 6 hours (or until the heat sensation has left) to prevent trapping heat and causing discomfort.
Cost: Treatments start at $500 per session. It is an ideal option for anyone seeking powerful anti-aging results with minimal downtime or a highly effective dry eye treatment.
