AGASSI
Agassi is a medical aesthetic system designed for non-surgical cheek thinning, providing an innovative alternative to bichectomy, a surgical cheek reduction procedure.
The system utilizes monopolar radiofrequency energy and is applied intraorally using device-specific disposable caps. This targeted energy focuses on the bichat fat tissue in the cheeks.
By generating controlled heat, the adipose tissue is reduced, resulting in effective facial slimming. This treatment is particularly effective in achieving a V-shaped face by refining the cheeks and enhancing facial contours.
The process is tailored to each individual, utilizing personalized caps for optimal results. Agassi offers a comfortable, non-invasive experience that requires no anesthesia and typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes per session.
Noticeable improvements are often visible after the first session. To achieve the desired outcome, the treatment is generally planned over 2-4 sessions, spaced 15 days apart.
Agassi Application:
- This procedure uses disposable, hygienic, custom probes. Each cheek is treated for 10 to 20 minutes.
- While a single session may be sufficient in some cases, up to four sessions may be planned if needed.
- No anesthesia is required.
- Final results usually become visible after a waiting period of 2 to 3 weeks.
- Feeling warmth in the mouth during the procedure is completely normal.
- If there is no weight gain, the effects of Agassi can last for several years.
- The treatment is minimally invasive. This allows you to continue your daily social or professional activities – even during your lunch break – without any problems.
- It is painless and can be applied year-round.
- Suitable for both men and women of all ages, this procedure is safe and free from side effects.
What is the difference of Agassi Non-Surgical Cheek Thinning?
Until now, the only valid method for cheek thinning was liposuction, known as bichectomy, performed through the mouth. There was no successful method to thin the cheeks other than surgery to remove fat from the cheeks. Agassi, which is a non-surgical and much easier method of thinning the face, is an intraoral monopolar radiofrequency application.
The Agassi high radiofrequency technology offers an innovative solution for contouring and tightening cheek tissue by reducing cheek fat, helping individuals achieve a slimmer facial appearance.
This advanced system utilizes monopolar radiofrequency energy, delivered through a device placed beneath the cheeks via the mouth, to specifically target adipose tissue.
During a 15- to 20-minute session, the energy penetrates the fat layer, effectively breaking down fat cells. At the same time, it stimulates collagen production, enhancing the firmness and elasticity of the underlying skin tissue.
With just two painless sessions, this method enables long-lasting thinning and tightening of the cheeks, providing noticeable and permanent results.
Are there any side effects?
Excess fat along the cheeks and chin line is effectively reduced, as the body‘s lymphatic system gradually eliminates the fat cells.
This cheek thinning process avoids causing any deformation to the skin and comes without negative side effects.
The procedure not only tightens the skin in the lower facial area but also reduces the volume of adipose tissue that tends to accumulate or descend structurally over time due to age.
This dual-action effect creates more refined, tapered facial contours. Additionally, the energy applied within the mouth stimulates skin recovery and helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
Agassi Application: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Agassi Application and how does it work?
The Agassi Application is an advanced dermatological treatment that utilizes high-frequency (HF) radiofrequency energy to target specific skin concerns. It is most commonly used to treat chronic acne and non-surgically reduce under-eye bags.
The technology works by delivering controlled thermal energy directly to the sebaceous glands or fatty tissues.
For acne, it suppresses overactive oil production.
For eye bags, it helps shrink protruding fat pads and stimulates collagen, leading to a smoother, tighter appearance without the need for traditional surgery.
Who is an ideal candidate for Agassi treatment?
This treatment is highly effective for individuals dealing with:
-
Recurrent or Cystic Acne:
Especially for patients who want to avoid systemic medications like isotretinoin.
-
Under-Eye Puffiness:
Patients with mild to moderate eye bags who are not ready for a surgical blepharoplasty.
-
Oily Skin:
Individuals seeking to reduce pore size and control excessive sebum.
How many sessions of Agassi are required to see results?
While some patients notice an improvement after a single session, a standard treatment protocol usually consists of 3 to 5 sessions spaced about 3–4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity of the condition being treated.
For acne, the reduction in breakouts is often visible within the first month. For eye bag reduction and skin tightening, the full effects appear gradually over 2–3 months as the body produces new collagen fibers.
Is the Agassi procedure painful? What does it feel like?
The Agassi Application is generally well-tolerated. Most practitioners apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area 30 minutes before the procedure to ensure maximum comfort.
During the session, you may feel a warm, tingling sensation or slight pressure as the device moves across the skin.
Post-treatment, the area might feel slightly sensitive or “sunburned” for a few hours, but this quickly subsides.
What is the recovery time and are there side effects?
One of the main benefits of the Agassi Application is the minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately.
You may experience slight redness or minor swelling for 24–48 hours, particularly when treating the sensitive eye area.
It is crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and use a high-SPF sunscreen following the procedure to protect the newly treated skin.
Are the results of Agassi permanent?
For acne treatment, the results can be long-lasting because the procedure physically suppresses the overactive sebaceous glands. For eye bag reduction, the results are significant and can last for several years.
However, because the skin continues to age naturally, periodic maintenance sessions (once every 12–18 months) may be recommended to maintain the tightening effects and skin quality.
