Agassi

Agassi is the technology used to apply monopolar radiofrequency energy in a controlled manner via a cap designed specifically for cheeks. Touching on inner cheek mucosa, the cap warms the inner cheek using radiofrequency energy. The aim is melting the fat tissue and tightening the skin via controlled thermal energy and radiofrequency energy. Another advantage of this method over bichectomy is the chance of focusing the most problematic area between the corner of the mouth and the vertical line which passes by midcheek area. The heat melts fat tissue while stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. It is performed bilaterally inside the mouth. The device uses disposable handpiece. Treatment is usually planned as 2-4 sessions two weeks apart. If necessary additional sessions can be considered.

Results may be observed at the end of the 2nd-3rd week after treatment. Results are not as remarkable as surgical removal of the fat tissue but we can achive considerable slimming on round faces. If the person does not gain weight the results are permanent. There is no need for anesthesia during the procedure, it is normal to feel hot inside the cheek.

After the procedure one can instantly continue their social life. There will be no redness, bruisin or pain. It is recommended to stay away from smoking, alcohol and hot beverages on the day of treatment. This procedure can be safely performed in summer and winter months and both men and women.
