If you’re tired of undereye bags, it’s time to send those bags packing with Agnes RF microneedling. This advanced treatment effectively addresses undereye bags, wrinkles, sagging, and xanthelasma, creating a rejuvenated appearance. At a trusted practice such as the Glavas Center, serving Boston, Beverly, and New York City, you can get the procedure under the expertise of a board-certified oculo-facial and cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Ioannis Glavas.
What Is Agnes RF Microneedling?
Agnes RF microneedling combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to enhance eye-rejuvenation results.
Radiofrequency energy heats the skin tissues, boosting the production of collagen and elastin proteins. This restores structure, tightening the skin to lift drooping lids, smooth away wrinkles, and treat stubborn cosmetic problems like xanthelasma, which are soft, yellow cholesterol deposits that commonly develop around the eyelids. RF energy can also melt the bulging fatty tissue in undereye bags for a more even appearance.
Microneedling involves using incredibly tiny, thin needles to create microinjuries at various depths in the skin tissues. These microinjuries trigger the skin’s healing process, creating even more collagen and elastin. It also encourages cell turnover, reducing the appearance of dark circles beneath the eyes.

What to Expect Before and During the Agnes RF Microneedling Procedure
Your consultation
The first step in your Agnes RF microneedling treatment process is a personalized consultation. You’ll learn more about the treatment itself, including results, preparation, and aftercare directions. You’ll also be able to discuss your goals in great detail to ensure satisfactory results.
Part of the consultation will be spent talking about your medical history, including current medications and supplements, pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, and previous treatments. Your skin will also be examined to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
The treatment session
The AGNES RF microneedling treatment process typically takes around 15-30 minutes to perform. At the start, either local or topical anesthesia is administered to the treatment areas. This numbs the regions, reducing pain and making the process more comfortable.
Next, the handpiece is placed against the skin and passed across it. The microneedles penetrate the skin tissues at controlled depths. Once they have reached these depths, they emit radiofrequency energy. Patients may feel warmth and pressure during treatment.
Agnes RF Microneedling Aftercare
Once the treatment process is complete, patients can return to their daily schedule. Minimal to no downtime/recovery time is required. Redness and swelling may be present in the treated areas for a short time so that social downtime may be desired.
The number of treatment sessions required for ideal results varies. Typically, around 1-3 sessions will be necessary. After treatment, results appear gradually as new collagen and elastin are produced in the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results from Agnes RF microneedling last?
Results typically last 1-2 years, depending on your skin and aging process. Maintenance sessions can help extend your results over time.
How is Agnes RF microneedling different from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling creates microinjuries to stimulate collagen, while Agnes RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for deeper tightening and fat reduction. This combination makes it a better fit for undereye bags and sagging skin that microneedling alone can't fully address.
Can Agnes RF microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, many patients pair Agnes RF microneedling with other facial treatments to enhance their overall results. During your consultation, our specialists can help you build a treatment plan that fits your skin and goals.
Will my insurance cover this treatment?
Agnes RF microneedling is typically considered an elective, cosmetic procedure and isn't covered by insurance. Check our insurance information page to learn more about your coverage options.
Can Agnes RF replace eyelid surgery?
Agnes RF can improve certain concerns without surgery, including under-eye bags and some cases of xanthelasma. However, surgical procedures may still be recommended for more advanced concerns.
Will my xanthelasma come back after Agnes RF treatment?
Xanthelasma can recur even after successful treatment because the underlying tendency to develop cholesterol deposits may remain. During your consultation, Dr. Glavas can discuss factors that may influence recurrence and whether future treatment may be needed.
Why should I see an oculofacial plastic surgeon for Agnes RF treatment around the eyes?
The eyelid area contains delicate structures that require specialized knowledge and precision. An oculofacial plastic surgeon such as Dr. Glavas has advanced training focused specifically on the eyes and surrounding facial tissues, which can be especially important when treating concerns such as xanthelasma and under-eye fat deposits.
