Agnes RF
Precision RF Microneedling Device
Agnes RF is a precision radio frequency microneedling device that can sculpt, smooth and contour the face, neck, chin as well as other small body areas on patients of all ages and skin types. It is a precision device that is being used for a myriad of facial conditions.
What is Agnes RF?
Agnes RF represents a revolutionary technology merging the revitalizing effects of microneedling with the restorative capabilities of radiofrequency waves. Microneedling, a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment, has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing the appearance of various skin concerns such as acne scars, keloids, stretch marks, hair loss, dark spots, and acne. Radiofrequency, on the other hand, stimulates collagen and elastin production, facilitating tissue regeneration—a principle integral to many popular skin tightening and body contouring treatments. This potent combination can now be precisely targeted with pinpoint accuracy to promote overall skin enhancement. Agnes RF is uniquely designed to address small areas of delicate skin that may have been challenging to reach effectively with previous facial treatments. Whether you're seeking to combat dullness, sagging skin, or tone and texture irregularities, Agnes RF offers a solution. This swift and nearly painless procedure, lasting under an hour, harnesses your body's innate restorative capacities. With Agnes RF, your treatment is entirely customizable.
Unlike traditional microneedling methods involving the rolling of tiny needles across the face to create numerous punctures, the Agnes RF system utilizes a single needle or a row of three needles.
These needles feature insulation at their base to prevent RF energy from reaching the upper skin layers when the bare tip is inserted. Available in various lengths, they are selected by your technician to precisely target specific depths of the skin. Each pulse of RF energy is meticulously controlled via a foot pedal. This directed RF energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, effectively targeting fat cells, reducing sebaceous gland size, and promoting the growth of the skin's supportive structure.
Agnes utilizes a unique "Square Wave" technology, which delivers precise bursts of energy in a square waveform, unlike conventional oscillating waves. This innovative approach ensures focused intensity while minimizing the risk of tissue damage from lingering heat.
-
Benefits
The accurate administration of RF energy by Agnes RF enhances the treatment's effectiveness. Its innovative needle size and insulated design enable the targeting of small and challenging-to-reach areas inaccessible by other methods. The combination of the body's healing response to micro-injury and RF energy results in a highly effective treatment.
Yet, Agnes RF offers more than just a finishing touch: its precise energy delivery can effectively address enlarged pores and the overactive sebaceous glands responsible for acne. The controlled heat either shrinks or eliminates the sebaceous gland, promoting clearer skin. Moreover, it can target fat deposits around the eyes and jaw area, all achieved through a safe and non-surgical approach.
-
Candidates
While initially developed for acne treatment, this device offers broader benefits. Operating beneath the skin's surface, it serves as a potent contouring tool, effectively addressing puffiness under the eyes and minimizing unsightly jowls. Additionally, individuals concerned about scarring or discoloration benefit from both the regenerative effects of microneedling and the skin structure stimulation induced by RF energy.
-
Procedure
To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, we'll apply a layer of topical numbing cream before beginning treatment. Using the appropriate handpiece and needle, the technician will target the areas you wish to enhance. The small needle is carefully inserted into the designated area, delivering a gentle pulse of RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin. Some temporary effects like slight redness or light discoloration may occur immediately after the session. Additionally, some patients may experience minor swelling and minimal bruising for a few days.
Improvements are often noticeable after just one session, but a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve significant results.
-
Results
You'll observe enhancements in the firmness, tone, and texture of your skin, with ongoing improvements over time. As your skin heals and collagen production continues, you'll notice gradual enhancement in the weeks following your Agnes RF treatment. Unlike other methods, the results are natural to your body and provide lasting benefits that you can enjoy for years to come.
Injectable
Botox® Cosmetic has a distinct formulation and is the #1 selling FDA-approved medication designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines in adults.
What is Botox used for?
BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines — the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. It can also be used to reduce the muscle activity that is responsible for bruxism- grinding of the teeth- which can result in tooth sensitivity, bone loss around the teeth, tooth mobility, tooth loss and facial pain. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the frown lines between your brows, your crow’s feet lines and your forehead lines.
-
Quick Treatment (10 minutes average)
-
Minimally Invasive with no downtime
-
Noticeable results within 24 to 48 hours
-
Subtle results, so you look like you with less facial lines
-
When will I see results?
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
-
What should i expect?
Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. If you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist can instead apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
Side Effects
Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid swelling in the crow’s feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. Other possible side effects include: dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight and dry eyes; and allergic reactions. These are not all of the possible serious side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic. Please see the Important Safety Information including Boxed Warning and Medication Guide and talk to your specialist.

Clear skin begins with LIGHTWAVE therapy. A pain-free, drug-free alternative to treating unsightly acne.
LIGHTWAVE is safe, simple, and easy. The amount of time you spend at your skin care specialist may vary based on your individual skin care needs. You can expect an individual LIGHTWAVE treatment to take up 30 minutes and allow for an additional 20 minutes for pre and post care. Its so simple and fast that many patients have treatments during a lunch break or on a quick stop on the way to or from work.
What is LIGHTWAVE Blue LED?
Lightwave FDA cleared Blue Light Therapy is a natural, pain-free, treatment option which uses a powerful dosage of blue light to effectively destroy P. Acne bacteria and prevent future Acne breakouts from occurring. The blue light has a wavelength of 420nm which is primarily absorbed by the epidermis attacking the bacteria.
Is it effective?
Improvement in skin quality and a decrease in the number of lesions are often noticeable within the first few treatments. Optimal results usually occur within 8 weeks of starting the treatment.
-
How does it work?
Acne begins to develop when dead skin cells and excess oil or sebum come together to form a plug that clogs the skin’s pores and hair follicles.
Once the pores become clogged, acne-causing bacteria grow, infection and inflammation begin, and acne forms on the skin’s surface. If left untreated, the lesion can eventually rupture and cause scarring.
-
What can I expect?
A LIGHTWAVE treatment is often very relaxing and enjoyable. First, the skin is cleansed with an antibacterial wash and protective eyewear is fit into place.
Next, a panel of LIGHTWAVE blue LEDs are placed next to the affected area. The lights are illuminated and the lesions are exposed to acne-destroying blue light.
Finally, the skin is treated with a specific dose of soothing red light. This red light energy helps heal the skin and reduce inflammation.

Stress, pain, and anxiety relief
Pro-Nox™ was developed over a decade ago with the clear vision of benefiting practitioners and their patients at the forefront of medicine. Pro-Nox™ is an FDA cleared analgesia that delivers 50% Nitrous Oxide and 50% Oxygen.
What is it?
Using a fixed, FDA cleared blend of 50/50 Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen, Pro-Nox™ is an analgesic gas delivery system designed for patients to have 100% control through self-administration. Based on decades of extensive research and proven success, a 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide provides short-term pain, anxiety, and stress relief-without causing patients to “go under.”
Best known for its ability to safely and effectively ease pain, anxiety, and discomfort, Pro-Nox™ is the leading pneumatically-driven gas delivery system on the market for medical and aesthetic patients. Pro-Nox™ provides more than just pain relief. By improving the patient experience during treatment, and in the provider's office, practitioners are better equipped to perform procedures that deliver optimal results—while ensuring that all patients are in their “Pro-Nox™ Comfort Zone.”
Safety First
Using an ideal combination of 50/50 Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen, Pro-Nox™ is the analgesia of choice for over 6,000+ practices across the United States and Canada. Plus, with Pro-Nox™, practitioners can have peace of mind as they work, while patients feel more at ease during treatments.
Analgesics, often referred to as “pain relievers,” include common drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen. Pro-Nox™ is a 100% self-administered N2O and O2 gas delivery system, producing effects which most practitioners and patients describe as “similar to laughing gas.” Unlike anesthesia (which halts the brain and body’s nerve signals), analgesia temporarily blocks the body’s pain signals from reaching the brain, and disassociates the brain’s ability to even process pain signals.
Pro-Nox™ was designed to support a variety of specialties as their pain and anxiety management solution for all treatment offerings, including: plastic surgery, dermatology, medical aesthetics, obstetrics-gynecology, urology, labor and delivery, ambulatory care, orthopedics, regenerative medicine, hospitals, surgery centers, and more!
-
How Does Pro-Nox™ Work?
Pro-Nox™ is a natural blend of 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous analgesia, self-administered by the patient through a safe, valve inhalation system that only delivers the medical gases when the patient breathes in. The 50/50 mix has been safely and effectively used around the world in labor and delivery for decades.
-
Is This the Same Laughing Gas at the Dentist?
No. The concentration of nitrous oxide that is generally used for dental and orthodontic procedures is up to 70%, compared to the 50/50 mixture utilized by the Pro-Nox™ System.
-
When Does Pro-Nox™ Take Effect?
The benefits of the split 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen gases, take effect within seconds of inhaling the blend, providing increased comfort and reduced anxiety. These effects last for a few minutes at a time, and can be extended by self-administering more of the mixture as needed.
-
How Long Does Pro-Nox™ Last?
Effects wear off in 5-10 minutes. There is no trace of the chemical in the body. The short-lasting effects of Pro-Nox™ allow the patient to reap the benefits of an analgesic, while still being able to drive before and after a procedure

A new non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that restores its essential components and optimized dermal health.
At Saratoga Facial Aesthetics, we offer our patients a treatment that combines two incredibly effective anti-aging therapies – radiofrequency (RF) and micro-needling. The ScarLet SRF is a new non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that restores its essential components and optimized dermal health. This FDA-approved anti-aging therapy is safe and effective and delivers RF energy beneath the superficial layer of skin through specialized microneedles. The body responds by stimulating collagen production, which is the skin’s main structural protein and helps repair and tighten the skin.
What is ScarLet SRF?
Scarlet SRF is a revolutionary minimally invasive radio frequency
microneedling device that is used for skin tightening; collagen, elastin
and hyaluronic acid production stimulation; the reduction of scares,
wrinkles and other skin concerns. It is an ideal solution for the most
common aging concerns of all skin types. Scarlet SRF is a safe, gentle
and effective in reversing or preventing the visible signs of aging.
What is Scarlet SRF good for?
How Scarlet SRF helps you
Scarlet SRF creates micro injury to the dermis and underlying tissues to
stimulate fibroblastic cells to produce collage and elastin which are
proteins that gives your skin strength, texture and elasticity. They also
keep your skin hydrated and plump. As you age past your mid-20’s the
collagen in your body begins to breakdown at a rate faster than what
the body can replace beyond the fourth decade. This is what causes
wrinkles, dryness and other unwanted skin conditions. So Scarlet SRF
helps in skin rejuvenation.
How long will the results last?
Some visible signs of firmer skin can be seen immediately, but the
results of dermal remodeling appear gradually over 2-3 months as
collagen and elastin fibers regenerate. It usually takes three treatments
to obtain the desirable results, but more additional treatments may be
required to achieve the optimal result. Results can last 6-12 month
depending on the severity of the condition.
What can I expect from Scarlet SRF treatment
For a few hours after your treatment, redness and some swelling can be
expected. Your skin may feel warm like a mild sunburn and your skin
may feel a slight pulling or tugging sensation what passes in a few days
There is minimal to no downtime with Scarlet SRF and many patients
return to their daily activities.
Will I need enhancement treatments after my initial series?
The results can six months up to a year last. The collagen triggering
processes of Scarlet SRF microneedling sets off a domino effect and
your body continues to produce collagen for 2-3 months after the last
treatment. However, you will need enhancements treatment sessions
to help the body to continue its natural collagen and elastin production
once or twice a year.
