Here at Plastic Surgery Specialists, we offer both surgical and nonsurgical treatments. Traditionally, surgical options offer the most dramatic results, but they do take more technical procedures and require longer downtime. Nonsurgical treatments, though less dramatic, do offer noticeable beauty benefits, and the ever changing technology in the industry is always making nonsurgical procedures more and more effective and impactful.
This month, let’s take a look at Accent Prime, an FDA-approved, non-invasive device that uses advanced technology to achieve both tighter skin and fat reduction simultaneously. Dreaming of a tighter body and smoother skin in minutes? This might be your new favorite treatment! With one device, we can tighten loose skin, improving wrinkles and lax skin on the face, and smooth cellulite while eliminating fat on the body. There is no downtime, and even though best results require several sessions, improvement can be seen right away.
Accent Prime is a complete skin renewal and body contouring system that works for all skin types and can be individualized to help with face and body contouring, fat reduction, skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and skin rejuvenation. With Accent Prime, radio-frequency energies are harnessed for gradual, controlled, and targeted heating deep in the dermis layer. The energy levels are customizable and focused for tailored treatments of specific issues. The second component of the system is ultrasound technology that penetrates deeply to disrupt and kill fat cells, thereby reducing fat deposits.
Thanks to the two technologies—RF waves and ultrasonic impulses—Accent Prime treats both the face and body. This enables body contouring by ultrasonic fat melting and radio-frequency thermal tightening of the skin. As a result, it becomes possible to sculpt the body in areas that have previously been hard to treat—for example, around the knees, arms, bra area and abdomen. There is no downtime, but maintenance is necessary to keep skin tightened over time.
Most patients see best results when they sign up for a series of treatments.
Popular Target Areas:
- Face and Submental: Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and lax skin for a tighter, lifted appearance. Sagging skin under the chin (submental fat) can be reduced and sculpted to treat the appearance of a false double chin or turkey neck.
- Arms and Back: Lax skin under the arms can be significantly lifted and tightened for a slimmer, more youthful profile. Accent Prime’s ultrasound waves tone and lift sagging skin, destroying excess fat and rebuilding skin-firming collagen fibers.
- Stomach and Abdominal Area: The stomach and abdominal area, for many of us, is especially problematic because fatty deposits can collect, creating a pooch or flabby belly. Even with regular exercise and a healthy diet, excess fat can remain. Accent Prime achieves significant circumferential, body contouring, skin tightening, and stretch mark reduction. You can reduce your belly fat with a series of 20-minute treatments.
- Legs, Thighs, Buttocks: Cellulite and the bumpy, wavy appearance of skin around the thighs and buttocks can be frustrating, especially when the cottage-cheese look remains even with regular exercise and a healthy weight. Accent Prime’s ultrasound energies work under the skin to stimulate collagen fibers, thereby restoring a smooth, taut appearance of the thighs and buttocks.
Procedural Highlights:
- Firmer, healthier looking skin
- Eliminates stubborn fat in key target areas
- Zero downtime
- No surgery required
