Accent Prime Radiofrequency and Ultrasound

Accent utilizes controlled radiofrequency energy (RF) and a combined, new type of ultrasound technology, rather than laser.

Radiofrequency is used to heat carefully selected levels of the skin. This results in new collagen formation, fat cell breakdown and skin remodeling. Dermal heating is an extremely effective alternative to surgery and does not damage surrounding tissues. It provides no downtime which means that following the treatment, you can return to your daily activities with no discomfort or side-effects. Accent can also be used following procedures such as liposuction to help with swelling and to smooth out the skin for the best possible outcome.

The combined ultrasound uses pond ripple-like waves which are dispersed homogenously throughout the treatment area. This technology selectively damages fatty cell membranes so that the fat components are then released into the blood stream and are dispersed via the lymphatic system. This process is called ‘selective lipolysis’ and results in a circumferal reduction. The ultrasound applicator has been developed to offer high speed body contouring. Typically, a treatment with the ultrasound device will last around 20 minutes, depending on the areas required.

Accent can improve fatty areas and can produce some inch loss. However, it’s important to know that Accent is not a stand-alone weight loss program and will not significantly alter your overall weight. It can, however, be used in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and exercise program to produce impressive results.

If you are in good health, generally take good care of yourself and wish to improve the contours of your body and quality and texture of your skin, you will most likely be suitable for Accent Radiofrequency. However, it’s important to undergo a no-obligation, pre-treatment consultation to ascertain whether the treatment is right for you. At Beautiful U we ask that you attend this consultation so that your medical history and expected results can be discussed and a tailor-made treatment plan is created for your individual needs and requirements.

The Accent treatment wand is applied to the affected area in a circular motion. This delivers heat energy to the skin, causing it to tighten and produce a longer-term repair process, increasing levels of collagen in the skin. Depending on the area/s treated, the process can take between 45 and 90 minutes. Discomfort is minimal and many patients compare it to that of having a warm massage.

To achieve long lasting results, we recommend a course of six treatments, two weeks apart. Many patients also find it beneficial to come for a top up treatment every 1.5 to 2 years.
