The short answer
Agnes is an insulated microneedle radiofrequency device made by Agnes Medical in Korea, and Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul uses it for acne, milia and syringoma. Its needles are insulated along the shaft so energy is released at a chosen point. It is a targeted tool, not a full-face resurfacer.
Key facts

What is Agnes?
Agnes is a small-needle radiofrequency system from Agnes Medical, a Korean company. It is one of the 17 devices at Shinebom Clinic. Unlike broader devices, it is designed for individual lesions such as a stubborn pimple, a milium or a syringoma.
What does insulated mean here?
The needles are coated so that radiofrequency energy is released from a specific part of the needle instead of along its full length. Generally, this lets the doctor place energy where a lesion or oil gland sits, while limiting heat in the skin above it. The treatment is aimed at one target at a time.
Which concerns does it address?
- Acne: inflamed or recurring lesions, as one step in the clinic's acne program.
- Milia: small white cysts under the skin. See milia.
- Syringoma: small bumps around the eyes, often skin-colored. See syringoma.
A doctor should confirm the diagnosis first, because look-alike bumps can need a different approach.
How does it differ from Secret RF?
Secret RF treats a grid of points across an area, which suits pores and scars. Agnes aims at specific lesions. The two do different jobs, and the doctor may use one or the other depending on your concern. In acne care, Agnes is combined with Aqua Peel 2.0, custom peels, extraction and LDM.
What should you know before and after?
Temporary irritation and redness settle within days. Moisturize, use sunscreen, and avoid makeup and hard exercise on the same day. Scabs may form; do not pick them, and expect about a week of redness if laser is included. Tell the doctor about pregnancy, implants and skin infections. See the acne care page and aftercare guide. Prices are quoted after consultation.
