Tighter,
smoother skin on the body and face without resorting to surgery.
This revolutionary skin reshaping regimen
uses advanced Radio Frequency (RF) technology to treat sagging
skin and cellulite non-invasively. Accent™ RF
treatment effectively tightens loose skin, promotes healthy collagen
production and improves body contours.
What Parts
of The Body Can Be Treated With Radio Frequency?
RF treatments can be performed almost anywhere on the body. Popular
treatments include skin tightening on the face, under eyes, jowls,
neck, jaw line and arms, and cellulite or fat reduction on the
abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
RF cannot be performed on patients with pacemakers, metal plates
or pins, severe heart disease or pregnant or breast feeding women.

How Does RF Work?
Heat energy is delivered deep into the skin whilst the skin’s
surface is protected by cooling.The heating has an
immediate effect by tightening the supportive framework of the
skin (by contraction of collagen fibres and tissue retraction)
aiding re-modeling and
rejuvenation.
Heating the dermis induces a wound healing
mechanism which stimulates the production of collagen.This
acts as
a new deep foundation for the skin producing further tightening
that becomes evident over several months. RF also facilitates cellulite
and fat reduction by improving blood flow to the treated areas
and by mobilising fat deposits, aiding the re-absorption and drainage
of fatty
deposits and retained fluids.
Does RF Treatment
Hurt?
Patients often describe the sensation as a ‘warm massage’,
there is generally no pain and normal activities can be resumed
immediately.Treatments can take from
15 minutes to several hours depending on area being treated.
How Many Treatments
Will I Need and
When Will I See Results?
Several sessions are required at 2 or 4 weekly intervals depending
on the treatment area. Some immediate
tightening can often be seen, however, due to the nature of the
treatment, it may be up to 3 months before results become evident.
Results will often be more
pronounced and longer lasting on patients who are nonsmokers, wear
sun protection regularly, eat a balanced diet and get some exercise. |
