Alma Laser's New Accent Laser For Cellulite Reduction

 

Accent is a non-invasive, non-ablative, radiofrequency technology for cellulite reduction. Accent now has FDA approval in the United States and is becoming available for use in the US. Accent is the only system on the market to provides two types of radio frequency technology together.

Accent RF 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 BiPolar RF handpiece penetrates from 2 to 6 mm into the skin, reaching both the adipose or 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.

Dermatologist Dr. David Goldberg of New York City is the lead investigator of the United States FDA multi-center study for Accent. According to Dr. Goldberg, Accent has been shown in Europe to not only improve cellulite, but actual weight loss has been seen in some women.
