AGNES Radio frequency for under chin fat?

Question

AGNES seems to be the new thing in Korea, is it better than Kybella, Coolmini, and sculpture? How can radio frequency (AGNES) help with fat deposits?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

These types of treatments need a combination approach to get the most improvement. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Using RF to destroy fat works similarly to a laser. It heats the area up to between 42-47 degrees celsius. The area must maintain this temperature for a set period of time (about 20min) in order to damage/destroy the fat cells in that area. The efficacy is similar to that of Sculpsure as this device also uses heat (via laser) to destroy fat. The heating aspect is a great method because it provides a feathering affect to the surrounding area, thereby creating a smooth and natural contour. I have a RF device that I use at my clinic for skin tightening and collagen production; it is capable of fat destruction if the settings are increased. However, I prefer to use Sculpsure Submental as it has the "cool blast" feature in order to limit any discomfort during the 20-25min long treatment.
