Accent Prime radiofrequency and ultrasound

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ACCENT PRIME TREATMENT ON THE BODY?

Body contouring with Accent Prime is ideal for sagging skin with or without localized fat that needs a boost to stimulate cell renewal. The procedure acts in depth to improve the quality of your skin in a lasting way and allows you to lose centimeters on the treated areas. Stimulation of fibroblasts with Accent Prime technology will boost the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, while reducing fat and cellulite.

Fat settles on different parts of the body. It is mainly located on the thighs and hips but is also often found on the stomach and arms. Fat cells originate from different factors such as the external environment, significant events leading to important hormonal variations such as pregnancies, hormonal imbalance, strong weight variation, and later on menopause. These are all factors that act on the quality of the skin, its firmness, and its tonicity. Often these fat deposits are around the belly, buttocks, thighs, and arms.

The technology developed by Alma laser has the advantage of being able to perform these treatments in the form of quick sessions. It does not require any surgery; it is non-invasive and leaves no lesions on the skin.

It is virtually painless and remains compatible with other complementary treatments to increase the effects of firming such as Radiesse or Sculptra injections or cryolipolysis.

The first results appear the day after the first session, but the skin will continue to improve and will be close to its best result three weeks after the treatment and after a minimum procedure of 5 sessions spaced one to two weeks apart.

WHAT IS ACCENT PRIME TECHNOLOGY?

Accent Prime technology was developed by the Alma laser group, world leader in aesthetic medicine treatments. Sometimes known as body contouring, it is the most effective response to the problems of localized fat and sagging skin.

These two techniques, ultrasound, and unipolar radiofrequency can be used together or separately.

Ultrasound will first weaken the membranes of the fat cells.

Accent Prime allows you to choose or combine several methods of destruction: cold ultrasound, which destroys fat cells in a targeted manner, and hot ultrasound, which uses cavitation to attack local fat deposits by breaking them up.

Then, the technology restarts the production of fibroblasts and homogenizes the skin texture with the effects of the unipolar radiofrequency by targeting the action on the zones such as the interior of the arms, the top of the knee, the belly, or the thighs.

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT FOR A SUCCESSFUL PREMIUM SESSION

Our beauty center offers you a unique service in Paris. During your appointment, you will be greeted by your Personal Beautician who will become your unique point of contact throughout your beauty journey at Skincare Agency.

Your Personal Beautician will first offer you a complete body diagnosis. Thanks to INBODY technology, the examination will consist of a scan of your body to evaluate several criteria and determine the areas where fat deposits are located. Pictures of the areas to be treated will be taken to complete your beauty follow-up file and to evaluate the before and after of the sessions. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of the treatment over the course of the sessions and also to adapt or change the procedure according to the evolution of the results.

The body contouring session begins with the application of Vaseline to cover the area to be treated. Then, with the help of a first handpiece, your Personal Beautician will gently sweep the area by emitting ultrasounds. The purpose of this phase is to destroy the excess superficial fat. Then a second phase of radio frequency will begin, your Personal Beautician uses a neutral oil to intervene with the second handpiece which will encourage lymphatic drainage to accelerate the basic metabolism and eliminate the triglycerides released in phase 1. Under the effect of the heat thus released by the radio frequency, the fat cells are reduced, and the skin is smoothed.

Accent prime is the only machine that combines both technologies.

It is important to know that the Accent Prime technology has multiple settings that allow you to adjust the strength and speed of the waves according to your skin. The entire area is scanned to stimulate your fibroblasts and the practitioner will focus on areas where fatty deposits are more localized (in the case of a procedure combining radiofrequency and ultrasound) or more precisely where the weakness of collagen fibers leads to sagging skin.

Answers to your questions about Accent Prime for the body

  • Is it possible to separate the treatments of ultrasound and radiofrequency?
  • Yes, it is possible to use the technologies independently of each other.

    For example, if you do not have any fatty deposits but only skin laxity, then only radio frequency will be used. This is the typical case of female athletes who do not have any fat, but skin laxity to be treated.

    On the other hand, it is very rare to use only ultrasound without radio frequency because it is important to drain the fat released by the ultrasound in order to eliminate it more quickly from the body.

  • Does radiofrequency work right away?
  • By targeting fat cells in a very precise way, Accent Prime produces its effects from the first session. The effects of Accent Prime can be seen from the very first session. It precisely targets fat cells to treat skin laxity that often comes with age.

    These effects follow a constant progression curve that reaches optimal results two to three months after the end of the 5-session procedure, which is the time needed for the body to either eliminate the fat cells or to restart the process of collagen regeneration in the skin. This treatment also requires regular maintenance over time.

  • What are the risks and contraindications of radiofrequency or ultrasound?
  • Apart from the risk of a few superficial bruises, the risks of this treatment are almost nothing and this treatment does not involve a recovery period in which you should stay home.

    The contraindications concern pregnant women, or people with a pacemaker, subject to fibroids, or risks of thrombosis.

  • What treatments can be combined with radio frequency?
  • This treatment can be combined as part of a complete treatment plan after a cryolipolysis treatment to remove larger fat deposits and also as part of a Sculptra injection to eliminate cellulite or mesotherapy to boost fat elimination.

  • Is the Accent prime treatment painful?
  • No, it is not a painful treatment. The sensations of the heat generated may be felt due to the natural sensitivity of the skin, but they are dissipated by the relaxing effect of the massage caused by the passage of the handpiece.
