RF Microneedling (Morpheus8 / Secret RF / Agnes RF)

Radiofrequency microneedling using Morpheus8, Secret RF, and Agnes RF platforms to remodel collagen at programmable depths for skin tightening, acne scar improvement, pore reduction, and facial contouring. Morpheus8 penetrates up to 7mm for subdermal adipose remodelling. Agnes RF targets specific fat pockets including under-eye bags and jowl fat. Sessions run thirty to sixty minutes with topical numbing. Results develop over six to twelve weeks.

Skinly Aesthetics offers radiofrequency microneedling across three distinct platforms — Morpheus8, Secret RF, and Agnes RF — allowing Dr. Schwarzburg to select the most appropriate device for each patient's anatomy and treatment goals. Morpheus8 by InMode is the deepest-penetrating platform of the three, with 24 gold-coated fractional pins that can be set to depths of 0.5 to 7 mm. At facial depths of 1–4 mm, Morpheus8 remodels the reticular dermis to improve skin texture, fine lines, pore size, and mild laxity; at greater depths of 4–7 mm in body areas, the device can treat subdermal fibrous septae and adipose tissue, improving skin tightening and cellulite. The Burst Mode on Morpheus8 delivers RF energy at three simultaneous depths per needle insertion, stacking tissue effects across planes in a single pass. Secret RF by Cutera uses a similar insulated microneedle array with non-insulated tips, allowing precise energy deposition at the needle tip only — reducing epidermal heating and making it particularly suitable for darker Fitzpatrick skin types where epidermal pigment risk is a concern. Agnes RF is a uniquely targeted platform designed for focal treatment: its monopolar RF microneedle tip delivers energy to specific anatomical structures including the orbicularis oculi fat pads (under-eye bag treatment), jowl fat pads, and sebaceous glands (for sebaceous hyperplasia and severe acne). The ability to target fat pads rather than just dermis makes Agnes RF a distinct option for patients seeking facial slimming and under-eye fat pad reduction without surgery. Across all three platforms, the combined mechanical microneedle injury and RF thermal energy at the needle tip trigger a wound-healing fibroblast response and collagen neogenesis that continues to develop over six to twelve weeks post-treatment. Topical numbing cream is applied thirty to forty-five minutes before treatment to ensure patient comfort.
