Many people are intimidated by the prospect of a surgical procedure, like liposuction — for purposes of body contouring. With new medical technology, however, non-invasive procedures offer patients a viable alternative.
One such technology involves the use of radiofrequency energy (or RF). A machine called The AccentTM (manufactured by the company MSq-Alma) is a state of the art RF-heating machine that boasts a dual function — fat reduction and cellulite treatment using deep penetrating unipolar RF energy and skin tightening and rejuvenation via bipolar RF energy.
The RF energy harnessed by the Accent treats cellulite and fat tissue by three main pathways. First, it heats the deeper layers of the skin, causing a tightening of tissues in that area by stimulating the production of collagen. Second, the treatment increases blood flow to the area while facilitating drainage of fat deposits. And third, the heat administered to treatment areas causes fatty acid decomposition and fat-cell death.
Treated areas are smoother and firmer, giving a new and defined shape to the body. Significant change is usually seen in as early as 4 sessions during the course of a series of 6 -12 Accent treatments.
