Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

Alma Accent PrimeTM is Alma Lasers’ newest and most revolutionary technology in body contouring, skin tightening & cellulite reduction. Alma Accent PrimeTM is Health Canada approved. The body contouring treatment involves a course of Ultrasound & Radio Frequency treatment with a lymphatic massage.

Combining cold ultrasound and radio frequency heat at the dermal & subcutaneous layer allows us to:

• Reduce fat & contour new shapes
• Tighten & smooth skin
• Reduce cellulite

The combination of ultrasound and radio frequency achieves superior results to those of either technology on their own. Cold ultrasound shear waves selectively drain Fatty Acids from fat cells while UniPolar Radio Frequency accelerates the metabolism for fast lymphatic drainage. The application of Radio Frequency heat energy following Ultrasound induces a volumetric contraction effect, tightening the skin and improving its texture while also building new collagen.

The treatment provides the following:

• Fat reduction & body contouring
• Cellulite reduction
• Skin tightening, smoothing & lifting
• Painless & no downtime

Achieve all benefits as part of a program or choose one or some of the benefits, like skin tightening & smoothing or just cellulite reduction.

Results can last up to 2 years

Effective Dielectric Heating

‍Accent Prime features Dielectric Heating- a unique mechanism whereby high radiofrequency (RF) energy is transmitted directly to the tissue, causing rapidrotation of its water molecules. This rotation generates friction which produces strong and effective heat. Because skin is composed mostly of water, the heating from this mechanism induces volumetric contraction within the skin contracting existing and stimulating the formation of new collagen while improving its thickness and alignment. A high RF frequency allows for deep, homogenous heating which produces uniform results.

Powerful Impedance Matching‍

With a power capacity of up to 300 watts and minimal energy loss through impedance matching, Accent Prime offers maximum power for every treatment. When RF energy is transmitted to tissue, the body’s electrical resistance causes power to reflect back to the energy source. With the highest peak power in the market, Accent Prime effectively overcomes the body’s impedance, reducing reflection and allowing maximum RF energy to be absorbed by the target tissue.

Focused Depth Control

‍Accent Prime’s depth control technology allows you to control the precise depth of treatment, with focused heating within the relevant layers of tissue. With variable depth control, practitioners have the flexibility and precisionto treat the target area at the specific depth needed for optimal results. Deep and superficial treatment approaches may also be combined for fully customized treatment, depending on the area being treated, the skin type/thickness and the indication. Or, they may be used for combination work on the same area to achieve enhanced results.

Targets Fat Cells

‍Cold Shear WaveTM & Hot Ultrasound Accent Prime features patented2 Cold Ultrasound Shear Wave technology to selectively target fat cells, while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The shear wave vibrations disrupt fat cell membranes, leading to gradual breakdown and release of stored fat. Damaged fat cells are then disposed of the body through the lymphatic system. Accent Prime also offers hot ultrasound technology which generates compressive ultrasonic waves that achieve a high level of cavitation- breaking down local fat deposits thermally. Practitioners may choose to work in either shear (“cold”) or compression (“hot”) ultrasound modes using the same handpiece- or a combination of both modes or maximum results.

The recommendation for most people is a course of 6-8. This depends on age, weight, severity of your condition and what kind of results you are trying to achieve.The course program recommendation is 6-8 treatments and you need to have them every 1-2 weeks.

The results should last up to 2 years if you have maintenance treatments every 6 weeks after the course of treatments.

You need to maintain a healthy diet and regular physical activity. The most important thing is that you drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day) in order to flush out your lymphatic system.

This depends on how large the area is, if you are treating multiple areas and if you are having just ultrasound or radio frequency or both. For example: for radio frequency and ultrasound on the lower abdomen of a woman who weighs 9 stone and is 5’6, the appointment will take a little under an hour.

There is no downtime. You should be able to resume your normal activities right after the treatment.
