Agnes RF for under eyes - they look much worse than before

UPDATED FROM ALynn
1 month post

5 week update

ALynnNovember 19, 2023
5 weeks out - lateral fat pads worse than before waiting for collagen balls to go away … Am hoping once the collagen balls dissolve or whatever, that the lateral fat pads will return to how they were before (or better) The practitioner recommends another Agnes treatment but I am hesitant. If I could go back I would just do Sylfirm RF and other treatments that can go close to the eye area. For me, Agnes has been close to 2 months of healing and extra insecurity about an area I only wanted to slightly improve :/

My collagen balls are much smaller… so many of them.. I’m trying to message them… have you found messaging helps at all?

Unfortunately massaging them did not help mine.. I have gotten 2 rounds of SylfirmX RF done on the spots (by an experienced practitioner because Sylfirm has a lot of different settings - they had to use a specific setting to break up the balls)… Anyhow, it helped some, but I am still waiting for them to completely go away (and I’m going on month 4…. But was advised it could take up to 5-6 months for mine :/

Hello,
I have the same bumps on the outer corners of my eyes and am almost 2 weeks post. Have yours gone away yet?

They did eventually go away …but it took a while for mine to go away (which I have since found out is not typical - most are gone within 4 weeks … mine were large and took a few months to completely go away). Although the practitioner advised massaging them I do not think that helped (it only caused the surrounding tissue to swell). What I do think helped (which I wish I’d found out sooner) was using an eye retinol cream (i used one by the brand ROC eye retinol cream which is not expensive / comes in a small tube and used every night I feel like that helped them go away finally). Good luck!

Hi there - so to confirm, have all of your symptoms resolved? Do your eyes look improved now from the Agnes treatment?

Thanks!

Now it’s officially 1 year out and after this treatment I spent so much $ on RF Microneedling and PRP injections to try and help the under eyes from the Agnes treatment… I have since learned that Agnes is not ideal when applied to the “lateral fat pad” area because it can disrupt lymphatics (which is I think what happened in my case). Anyhow all that $ I would’ve been better off doing a lower Bleph (or just leaving my eyes as they were which wasn’t so bad). So for me, Agnes under eyes was not worth it

The collagen balls /lumps themselves have resolved, at least)

Agnes RF for Undereyes

ALynnOctober 21, 2023
I don’t have a before picture, but I never really had bad undereye bags, however my outer eye fat pads bothered me some so I decided to try Agnes RF for undereyes… 2 weeks in and they look much worse than before (with these collagen bumps, which massaging doesn’t seem to work except to swell my eyes up all over again). I wish I had know the downtime could be much longer with these bumps (someone said wait 4-6 weeks , then I’ve also heard 2 months).. at this point I’m so stressed I am wishing I had never done it. Does anyone have experience with this after Agnes RF?? Suggestions ?

I’ve since learned that ideally right after Agnes treatment, you should also be treated with Scarlett RF to help healing and minimize collagen bumps… i was treated with Vivace right after, so that is probably why I had so many bumps. / had an expert practitioner in Agnes RF do light Scarlett treatment in my eye area and it seems to be helping the healing process. Am interested if any other practitioners have opinions about this?

Thanks for sharing your experience - it sounds really frustrating and disappointing. Have you seen much progress since you posted about the Scarlett RF treatment?

So I waited several weeks, then had a practitioner perform Sylfirm RF on the bumps to try and help them break down faster (it did help some, although still have some residual bumps and more lateral fat pad profusion than before the Agnes)… the original practitioner says she can do more Agnes on the lateral fat pads, but from what I’ve been reading I wonder if it is just taking more time for the fat in those areas to go away… Even though I’m still unhappy with my results, I had so much downtime and stress from the original Agnes procedure, I’m hesitant to do more. Any advice or expertise in this area is welcome!
