Agnes RF under eye bags - such a bad experience

ORIGINAL POST

agnes rf under eye bags

I did Agnes RF to get rid of my under eye bags. I was told that in 2 weeks the swelling would go down and that the "bumps" caused by the RF needle would go away. It has been 4wks and I look worse than when I came in. The "bumps" are still there and it looks like alligator skin. My bags are still there as well. I feel more self conscious than before and now I'm told it can be 6weeks long but up to 2months.
I hate that I spent this much money and had such a BAD experience with AGNES. The Dr. is wonderful but AGNES is not. I'm hoping I can get a refund or at least a treatment to help with this.

Ok so I am dealing with this same issue!! Everyone tells me the “collagen bumps” will go away, but I’m extremely frustrated I didn’t know about this side effect beforehand :/ …Hoping your bumps go away soon too! Someone told me “Scarlet RF” after 4 weeks could possibly help them go away , but let me know if you hear of anything else. I’m also using an over the counter cream on my eyes to try and help the swelling and bumps too (preparation H , lol… but it does seem to help some!)

How are you doing? Any improvement? Having same issue

It didn't make a change, if it did it's not noticeable. I do still have light soreness under my rt eye. However, I'm not saying it doesn't work BUT I definitely didn't have any outcome or any good outcome. For me, it wasn't worth it at all.

I'm on week 8 and they are gone but I was extremely frustrated with it. I haven't noticed a change from my my before to after pics.
I feel the same way as you; it wasn't all laid out and I was told it may take up to 2weeks not 2months.

Oh my gosh - I am so sorry for what you went thru!! Yes, I’m on the same page - extremely frustrated I wasn’t warned about how long side effects like this could last! Did you end up massaging them daily ? (I only ask because I was told to do that but it only increased my swelling and seems to have no affect on the bumps… just interested in your input on that (massaging the bumps) . I’m glad at least your bumps went away!!

Am curious if when you had the Agnes done, did your practitioner do Scarlett RF at the same time/on top of it ?
October 24, 2023
No they didn't. My procedure was only Agnes RF Microneedling.

Ok interesting.. I was just talking to someone who specializes in Agnes (different from the provider I had too) who says it should always have Scarlett RF on top at same time to help minimize development of collagen bumps… wish I had known that as well !!

Omgosh! Me too.
