When it comes to skin rejuvenation, RF microneedling has become one of the most trusted and effective options in medical aesthetics. By combining the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling, this treatment stimulates collagen production, tightens skin, and improves texture—all with minimal downtime. At CGO Med Aesthetics in San Diego, we’re proud to offer two of the most advanced RF microneedling systems available today: Exion and Agnes RF.
So, what’s the difference between Exion and Agnes RF, and how do you know which one is best for your skin goals? Let’s break it down.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF (radiofrequency) microneedling works by creating micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles while delivering heat deep into the dermis via RF energy. This dual action jumpstarts collagen and elastin production, which helps tighten, smooth, and rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. The result is firmer, more youthful-looking skin with improved tone and texture.
Exion RF Microneedling: Smart, Targeted, and Comfortable
Exion RF is one of the newest and most innovative microneedling platforms on the market. It uses a combination of RF energy and artificial intelligence to adjust energy delivery in real time, allowing for precise depth and intensity based on your skin’s needs.
Key Benefits of Exion:
- AI-optimized precision for safe, customized treatment
- Comfort-focused design with reduced pain and downtime
- Non-invasive boost to hyaluronic acid production
- Great for treating fine lines, texture, laxity, and dullness
- Excellent for sensitive areas, including the under-eyes and neck
Exion also offers non-needle RF capabilities, allowing for deeper tissue remodeling without skin penetration—ideal for those seeking results with minimal surface irritation.
Agnes RF Microneedling: Precision Contouring for Face & Body
Agnes RF, on the other hand, is uniquely designed to treat localized fat deposits and deeply rooted skin conditions, making it a top choice for targeted facial sculpting and advanced dermatological needs.
Key Benefits of Agnes RF:
- Delivers highly focused RF energy through specialized microneedles
- Great for under-eye bags, jowls, double chin, and acne
- Offers semi-permanent fat reduction in small areas
- Excellent for skin tightening, especially around the jawline and eyes
- Effective for sebaceous gland reduction in acne-prone skin
Agnes is often chosen for clients seeking a more sculpted look or relief from chronic skin conditions that require deeper, more focused treatment.
Which Treatment Is Best for You?
Choosing between Exion and Agnes RF Microneedling depends on your individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. If you’re looking for an all-around anti-aging solution that improves skin texture, boosts collagen, and enhances overall radiance, Exion is often the better choice. It’s particularly effective for treating fine lines, skin laxity, and dullness, and is gentle enough for sensitive areas like the under-eyes and neck. Its AI-driven technology ensures a comfortable, customized experience that fits a wide range of skin types and goals.
On the other hand, Agnes RF is ideal for clients who need more targeted treatment. It’s especially effective for addressing stubborn under-eye bags, jowls, double chin, and acne. Unlike Exion, Agnes RF can deliver semi-permanent fat reduction in small, localized areas, making it a favorite for facial sculpting and treating deep skin concerns like cystic acne or enlarged sebaceous glands.
If your focus is on preventative skincare and maintaining youthful skin with minimal downtime, Exion may be your go-to. But if you struggle with deep-rooted skin issues or want more dramatic contouring, Agnes RF could be the better option.
