Treatment

The Accent is a safe, clinically proven way to tighten your skin. It is fast, safe and effective. The Accent uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat collagen in the lower layers of the skin, tightening your existing collagen and stimulating new collagen growth. It requires no incisions, injections or recovery time and the results can last for years.

How the Accent works

If you take a look at a cross section of human skin, you will notice that it is made up of three distinct layers. A visible outer layer called the epidermis. A collagen-rich underlayer or Dermis, and an inner fat layer with collagen fi bers, called the subcutaneous.

When the collagen in these three layers decreases due to the aging process, the skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag and wrinkle. The Accent heats the skin’s under layer and helps renew your bodies’ collagen. It improves symptoms through deep dermal heating, increased blood fl ow and collagen remodeling.

Accent RF treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery or even topical anesthetics. Unlike lasers, it works on all skin types. An added benefi t is that there is no downtime for the patient so you can quickly resume your normal routine.

Treatment Plan

You will have a consultation with your therapist to discuss treatment. During treatment the area will be cleansed, and a lubricant such as baby oil applied. This will assist the hand piece in its movement. A rubbing technique is then employed using the hand piece, to enable rapid, safe and effective treatment. Typical sensation during the procedure is heat, which will build gradually and comfortably. The number of sessions and treatment times are dependant on the area being treated.

Who can benefit?

Everyone can benefi t, but results may vary and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended.

Post-Treatment

After the treatment, you will feel the skin tightening. You may also perceive an increase in blood fl ow or mild redness to the treated area. This is normal, and it will usually subside quickly. After a single session, measurable improvements in tightening will gradually appear over 2 to 6 months, as your collagen levels are replenished. However, many patients have reported seeing an earlier response Results will become more noticeable as time proceeds and treatments increase.
