Cellulite Treatment with Accent Radiofrequency(RF)

Finally! Effective cellulite treatment

Cellulite affects nearly all adult women of all races. Characterised by a dimpled 'cottage cheese' look, cellulite appears most commonly in 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.

How does Accent work?

Accent RF employs three mechanisms to improve cellulite symptoms. It applies deep dermal heating to fat bundles to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodelling. Stimulating enhanced blood circulation, the procedure also helps drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. Finally, its thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells.

What is cellulite?

The body's muscles are wrapped in a padding of fatty connective tissue. The fatty cells of the padding, bather in a liquid medium, are held in place by a network of fibres, nourished and cleansed by body fluids. When this process is slowed down, the tissue is flooded with waste materials that thicken into a gelatine-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 f the body where excess fat is deposited, it is widespread among both thin and overweight women.

Treatment - what to expect

During Accent RF treatment, your doctor will use Accent radiofrequency to precisely heat 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 20-50 minutes. You should see a gradual improvement.

Following treatment, you can immediately resume all routine activities. You may notice slight 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.

The Accent Advantage

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. Obviously invasive, surgery is accompanied by risk, relatively long recovery and doubtful results.

The Accent radiofrequency system represents 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 RF cellulite treatment is effective, non invasive, and an easy, comfortable treatment for the patient.
