Alma Accent XL radiofrequency treatments can create dramatic change in the appearance of cellulite without any downtime. Dual radio frequency technology (RF2) is unique in that it provides controlled tissue heating to two separate depths of tissue. Simultaneous cooling is applied to make treatment more comfortable and protect the skin.

Accent's Unipolar RF handpiece penetrates from 2 to 6 mm into the skin, reaching both the fatty tissue and the cellulite. Heating to these tissue depths improves circulation, initiates a breakdown of fibrous tissue, promotes the re-absorption and drainage of retained fluids and toxins.

Accent provides long lasting results in just a few quick treatments, and unlike other cellulite laser technologies, progress is immediately visible after each session.

The ACCENT has been used in Europe and in other regions outside of the United States where it has shown to not only improve cellulite and reduce fat, but has also been shown to produce actual weight loss. The ACCENT also uses RF energy for body and facial contouring and skin tightening effects.

Accent XL targets the collagen incorporated in the under layers with RF technology that tightens and contours the skin to create a smoother tone and more youthful appearance. One of the most compelling reasons for the Accent’s popularity is its instant-gratification factor. Results begin immediately as soon as treatment takes place and improvements to the skin's texture and appearance will continue as new collagen grows, often for months.

Like any medical technology, over time technologies develop techniques and strategies to maximize the potential of the treatment. Accent continues to advance in leaps and bounds thanks to research and continuously evolving treatment parameters. Accent XL works amazingly well, and it is not painful as Thermage can often be. The sensation is often likened to that of a hot stone massage.

Please ask to see our before and after photos. You need to be realistic about your expectations and feel completely comfortable with what you're signing up for, because there is no non-surgical treatment alternative that will result in a surgical outcome. There is variation in outcome from patient to patient. Hydration status is very important so please drink lots of water before and after your treatments!

The Accent’s bipolar head heats the dermis to cause collagen contraction while preserving the epidermis through available cooling.

In addition, Accent XL can stimulate long-term collagen rebuilding that leaves patients with younger looking skin. This device has also been used successfully in multiple body areas such as abdomen, arms, upper chest, buttocks, and thighs. Most patients notice immediate changes which gradually improve over several weeks and months. There is minimal discomfort and there is no need for anesthesia – topical or otherwise. There is no down time, no scarring, and no incisions.

Many patients look much better and younger after the procedure, because the results are a remarkable natural look which plastic surgery rarely can match.

An effective protocol that may be right for you is Laser 360, which strives to improve skin color, texture, tone, and tightening over a 60 day time period. This treatment plan incorporates not only the Accent XL for skin tightening, but also the Pixel laser for fractional resurfacing of the skin and the Harmony intense pulsed light device for pigment issues. All three modalities work synergistically to promote collagen formation and enhance your youthful appearance.
