ABC Lasers introduces Accent Accentuate protocol
Accentuate is the latest protocol for Alma’s Accent Prime (distributed in the UK by ABC Lasers). The hands-free, stationary applicators are designed for body contouring and skin tightening, incorporating resonant-distributed radiofrequency heating.
Utilising 40.68 MHz AlmaWave, Accentuate tightens and shapes large areas of the body safely and effectively by delivering energy within the skin. Offering independent left and right side parameters, Accentuate also enables real-time patient temperature monitoring, adding increased control and freedom for practitioners and patients alike.
To achieve optimal results, the recommended treatment protocol for skin tightening and body contouring is a combination of both the UltraSpeed and Accentuate applicators.
UltraSpeed uses a new type of ultrasound technology, delivered with an extra-large applicator plate for high speed fat reduction. This applicator features a plate type sonotrode which emits simultaneously longitudinal and transverse ultrasonic waves through concentric profiles. The US energy is distributed homogenously throughout the treatment area, effectively disrupting stubborn fat cells.
Following the use of UltraSpeed, Accentuate complements the treatment by delivering RF energy into defined areas, heating tissues at varying depths, and causing a thermal effect within the skin. Accentuate contours and shapes the treated area by tightening the skin after the fat cells have already been disrupted by UltraSpeed. This synergetic pairing of technologies and applicators, addressing both fat reduction and skin tightening in a single treatment session, offers the ideal solution for body contouring.
A treatment protocol composed of 20 minutes of UltraSpeed treatment followed by 40 minutes of Accentuate provides highly effective results for large areas.
Dr Tijon Esho comments, “I always keep my fingers on the pulse of what the consumer wants. Facial and body contouring is a key growth area in aesthetics and the Alma Accent represents one of the best innovations on the market in this area. Combining ultrasound with radiofrequency technology, I have observed amazing results for treating both fat and skin laxity – and it’s fast. It’s a welcomed addition to my clinics."
