Cellulite Reduction & Body Shaping

New Cellulite Treatment

A “New” method for treating cellulite now exits. It is fast, effective and painless. The Accent radiofrequency device can treat both superficial and deep cellulite. It causes a slow increase in temperature within the treatment area, helping the body to effectively metabolize fat. After a series of treatments, patients notice weight reduction and an improvement in skin tightening.

What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is fat cells, which lie between the skin and the underlying muscle .Fat cells expand with weight gain, and increase the gap between muscle and skin. The skin then becomes less supported, and gets pulled inward toward the interior of the body. This causes the fat cells to increase in number and stick together within the connective tissue fibers, resulting in a dimpling effect.

How does the Accent work?

Weakened connective tissue and diminished microcirculation play key roles in the formation of cellulite. The Accent employs heat to modify the weakened connective tissue and increase microcirculation. It improves cellulite symptoms through deep dermal heating and collagen remodeling. It also increases blood circulation and eliminates fat cells.

Accent RF treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery or even topical anesthetics. An added benefit is that there is no downtime for the patient.

Treatment Plan

You will have a consultation with your therapist to discuss treatment. During treatment the area will be cleansed and a lubricant such as baby oil applied. This will assist the hand piece in its movement. A rubbing technique is then employed using the hand piece, to enable rapid, safe and effective treatment. Typical sensation during the procedure is heat, which will build gradually and comfortably. The number of sessions and treatment times are dependant on the area being treated.

Who can benefit?

Everyone can benefit, but results may vary and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is recommended. Best results are attained for people with high water content in the fat.

Post-Treatment

After the treatment, you will feel the fat reducing and the skin tightening. You may also perceive an increase in blood flow to the treated area. This is normal, and it will subside in 24-48 hours. Results will become more noticeable as treatments increase.
