Accent Ultra

Accent is the gold-standard in body-contouring systems. Using radio frequency to change the structure of the fat cells, Accent can be used for cellulite, contouring, and skin tightening. Accent is also excellent for those who have had liposuction, which can occasionally leave uneven fat deposits in the body.

What happens during treatment?

Oil is applied to the areas to be treated to allow the machine to glide comfortably over the skin. The machine is set according to the area being treated on the body and depending on what the patient can tolerate. Accent is moved quickly over the skin so as not to cause discomfort to the patient. As this is happening, the Radio Frequency waves are delivering energy, deep into the skin, to cause changes within the fat cell. A patient is treated with two modes, Bi-polar for a tightening effect, and Uni-polar to attack the fat cells. Post-treatment, the patient receives a lymphatic drainage massage on the treated area, and Nimue body contouring gel is applied.

How does the treatment feel?

Accent is generally a comfortable sensation. The patient will feel the area getting very warm sometimes to the point where they feel too hot. Accent will not burn the skin, but will create a thermal reaction. The more heat the patient can tolerate, the better the results will be. Skin temperature is monitored throughout the treatment so that the best results can be achieved. The body is not heated to more than 43 degrees and the face 41 degrees.

Post-treatment the skin can be red but this is a good indication that oxygen and fresh blood are present in the area leading to a better result.

How many sessions will I need?

The size of the area and the desired results will ultimately determine the number of sessions required. Expect to need at least 5 sessions.
