The results you want!

Non-invasive, no downtime, treatment for

Body Shaping

Finally, effective cellulite treatment and body shaping. Firmer, younger looking skin without surgery. Accent is safe, pain free, easy and cost effective.

Cellulite

Cellulite affects nearly all adult women of all races. Characterised by a dimpled “cottage cheese” look, cellulite appears most commonly on the thighs and buttocks. While it does not represent a health threat, cellulite is aesthetically unappealing, and a source of embarrassment to many women. Despite its prevalence, and repeated attempts to find a surefire treatment, no solution has adequately countered cellulite. UNTIL NOW!.

Accent Radiofrequency therapy is able to change the shape of fat cells and shrink and remodel the connective tissue that forms this unsightly condition. This technology presents a non-invasive, effective and long-lasting way to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Practitioners are able to treat both deeper cellulite and more superficial cellulite with the Accent technology. Dr Ilan Karavani, M.D., a dermatologist in Belgium confirms “Of the non-invasive techniques, the Accent is the most thrilling because it treats the skin and fat”.

Dr David Goldberg, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, said – “Because the Accent has both a unipolar and bipolar head, we can deliver heat at various depths. Cellulite by its very nature, varies in depth. Some cellulite is deeper, while some cellulite is more superficial. The Accent is able to treat different depths of cellulite in a fairly consistent manner, from patient to patient.”

The Accent Advantage for Cellulite

The prevalence of cellulite has led to hundreds of purported treatments, including topical solutions, massage-based techniques and surgical procedures, such as liposuction – most with less than optimal results. Topical treatments do not penetrate the skin, and can render only temporary and superficial effects.

The Accent Radiofrequency system represents the newest method in cellulite treatment. By selective dermal heating that stimulates the production of new collagen, Accent has been shown to improve skin surface texture.


Accent Radiofrequency cellulite treatment is effective, non invasive, and an easy comfortable treatment for the patient.


What is cellulite?

The body's muscles are wrapped in a padding of fatty connective tissue. The fatty cells of the padding, bathed in a liquid medium, are held in place by a network of fibers, nourished and cleansed by body fluids. When this process is slowed down, the tissue is flooded with waste materials that thicken into a gelatin-like substance, forming pockets which migrate closer to the skin's surface. The visible result : a puckered “orange peel” effect on the skin's surface.


What causes cellulite?

Cellulite is far more common among women than men, which indicates that hormonal differences play a major role in its formation. While cellulite tends to appear in parts of the body where excess fat is deposited, it is widespread among both thin and overweight women.

Body Shaping

You may be dissatisfied with the appearance of your body, or you may not have the body shape you desire. Accent Radiofrequency can help reduce the unsightly bulges that make your clothes uncomfortable.


By gently reshaping your body, Accent non-invasively improves your body's contours, and can even reduce centimeters. This procedure can give you a sculpted look – without incisions, pain or downtime.


The Accent Advantage for Body Shaping

By selective dermal heating, Accent Radiofrequency stimulates the production of new collagen, and improves body contours. Accent radiofrequency is quick, and requires no anesthesia or prolonged recovery times. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Best of all, Accent Radiofrequency body reshaping treatment provides excellent long-term results and steady improvement.


How does Accent work

Accent Radiofrequency employs three mechanisms to improve cellulite and improve your body shape. It applies deep dermal heating to the fat bundles (a) to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodeling. Stimulating enhanced blood circulation, the procedure also helps drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. Finally, its thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells (b).

Treatment – what to expect

Our therapist will check your medical history and discuss your treatment plan, expectations and desired results. She will examine your body and mark your areas which require treatment.

During Accent RF treatment, our therapist will apply the treatment tip to your skin, precisely heating the skin's inner layer (dermis), while its outer layer (epidermis) is continually cooled. Depending on the size of the treated area, treatment may take from about 15 to 50 minutes.

Following treatment, you can immediately resume all routine activities. You may notice slight temporary redness, which should disappear in less than 24 hours. While Accent RF has shown to be safe, effective and long-lasting, maintenance treatment may extend and improve upon results.


Does it hurt?

While pain tolerance is individual, most people tolerate Accent RF treatment well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as a warm massage.
