Agnes RF

Agnes RF is a one-of-a-kind non-surgical Radio Frequency (RF) platform that can sculpt and contour the face, neck, chin, and other small body areas. This treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, providing long-lasting, unmatched results without surgery.

  • AGNES RF is a transformative technology that gives physicians the ability to provide in-office solutions without the need for surgery. It is a Precision Radio Frequency (RF) microneedling device, used in both dermatological procedures and aesthetic treatments across the world.

  • The Agnes technology distinguishes itself from other microneedling devices with its innovative design. Each micro-needle is coated with an insulating layer, which reduces damage to surrounding tissues, shortens recovery time, and enhances the precision of the radiofrequency energy application.

    Agnes uses radiofrequency to safely target skin structures, heating the tissue to the precise temperature required to destroy and coagulate fat and fatty structures. Simultaneously, it boosts collagen and elastin production, leading to increased cell turnover and internal skin restructuring. This results in healthier, firmer, and tighter skin.

  • Agnes RF is a safe and effective laser device that provides a customizable treatment for many skin conditions. It can precisely target problem areas without damaging the surrounding skin.

    Agnes RF can help treat the following skin issues and aging concerns:

    • Submental fat (double chin)

    • Under-eye bags

    • Jowls or skin laxity around the neck

    • Uneven skin tone and texture

    • Enlarged and clogged pores

    • Sagging skin

    • Scars

    • Acne

  • Treatment plans vary depending upon the individual, size of area(s) to be treated, and treatment goals. Typically, problem areas require 1–2 treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart and the treatment series should be completed within 6 months.

  • Although no downtime is typical with Agnes treatments, returning to normal activities may vary due to possible bruising and swelling of the treated areas. 

  • Visible improvements can be seen within a few weeks, with optimal results developing over several months as collagen production continues.

NOUVADerm

Medical device with a curved arm, control panel, and wheels, labeled NOVA Derm, used for aesthetic treatments.

NOUVADerm is a cutting-edge system for skin resurfacing and revitalization. As the first of its kind, NOUVADerm features a 3-in-1 customizable solution, incorporating non-ablative, sub-ablative, and ablative modes all within a single device.

NOUVADerm is now the most highly recommended treatment option for anyone with sun damage, fine line/wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, melisma, or anyone seeking a brighter complexion and improved skin texture.

  • NOUVADerm™ is a next-generation laser treatment that helps improve the appearance of your skin by encouraging it to naturally resurface and renew. It works by gently stimulating your skin’s repair process from within — targeting issues like pigmentation, fine lines, scarring, and uneven tone — without damaging the surface.

    The result? Skin that looks refreshed, radiant, and rejuvenated with minimal downtime.

  • This fractional laser targets water in the skin. It delivers precise energy in a grid-like pattern, creating fractional microthermal zones that address specific skin concerns while preserving surrounding tissue to promote faster healing. NOUVADerm™ is customizable and can deliver non-ablative, sub-ablative, and ablative pulses, offering the ability to treat a variety of patients with aging concerns.

  • The NOUVADerm™ is versatile and effective. Here’s what it’s commonly used for:

    • Sun damage

    • Dark spots and pigmentation

    • Fine Lines and Wrinkles

    • Hyperpigmentation

    • Melasma

    • Brighter Skin Tone

    • Improved Skin Texture

    • Redness and visible capillaries

  • This depends on your skin goals and where you’re starting from.

    Some people are thrilled with their results after just one session. Others choose to do a series of 3-4 treatments spaced out over several weeks for deeper or more long-standing concerns.

    During your complementary consultation we’ll help build a personalized plan just for you — one that balances your time, budget, and desired outcomes.

  • Downtime really depends on the level of treatment you receive.

    For a lighter, more superficial session, you may just experience some mild redness or tightness — like a slight sunburn — and many patients feel totally fine returning to work or errands the same day.

    But if you opt for a more advanced treatment, you’ll likely want to take the rest of the day to rest and recover at home. That’s because the deeper treatments can trigger something called MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) — which sounds intense, but it’s simply the body’s way of gently releasing damaged skin cells. These small, dark specks will rise to the surface and flake off gradually over several days, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.

    We’ll always let you know exactly what to expect based on the strength of your treatment and help you plan accordingly — whether that’s a weekend refresh or a deeper skin reset.

  • This is one of the most important questions — and the short answer is: yes, when done properly.

    At LUX, we’ve invested in advanced training for our providers to ensure safe, effective treatments for a wide range of skin tones and types. However, not every spa or practice is qualified to offer NOUVADerm™, and that’s worth paying attention to.

    When this device is used incorrectly, it can cause damage, including burns, scarring, or unwanted pigmentation changes. That’s why experience, training, and skin health knowledge are absolutely non-negotiable when choosing where to get your treatment.

  • You’re busy, and we love that NOUVADerm™ respects your time. Most sessions last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area we’re treating.

    It’s efficient enough to squeeze into a lunch break, but powerful enough to deliver real, visible change.

Scarlet SRF (Short Pulse Radio Frequency) is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with advanced radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and improve overall tone and texture—all with minimal downtime.

Scarlet SRF

  • This FDA-approved device uses ultrafine microneedles to deliver RF energy directly into the dermis, creating controlled heat that triggers your skin’s natural healing response.

    The result: firmer, smoother, more youthful skin—without surgery or extended recovery.

  • Scarlet SRF distributes RF energy through an array of 25 non-insulated , ultrafine microneedles. Scarlet delivers energy deep into the dermis, triggering natural regeneration and repair. Unlike traditional microneedling, the added RF energy allows for skin tightening, lifting, and smoothing in a single session—making it ideal for treating signs of aging, texture concerns, and skin laxity on the face, neck, and body.

    • Skin laxity (mild to moderate sagging)

    • Fine lines and wrinkles

    • Acne scars and enlarged pores

    • Uneven skin tone and texture

    • Neck crepiness and décolleté concerns

    • Under-eye crepiness and skin thinning

    • Scalp skin tightening for brow and eyelid lifting

  • 0 Social Downtime & Minimal redness!

    Most patients return to their regular daily activities immediately following a Scarlet SRF treatment.

  • For best results we recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

  • For a few hours after your treatment, redness and some swelling can be expected. Your skin may feel warm like you’ve had a mild sunburn.
