Body contouring treatments with the advanced Accent Prime laser combine cutting-edge ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies to effectively target stubborn fat pockets and loose skin, helping you feel more confident in your body. At Clariday Aesthetics, our providers have extensive experience with Accent Prime technology, allowing us to create customized treatment plans that address your specific concerns and desired outcomes.
What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to specialized treatments that create visible body changes by reducing fat and improving skin laxity. Unlike weight loss procedures, body contouring specifically targets resistant fat pockets and loose skin that have not responded to traditional lifestyle approaches.
What is Accent Prime?
Accent Prime is a non-surgical body contouring technology that uniquely combines powerful radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies for comprehensive treatment. This innovative system allows your provider to selectively target and permanently destroy fat cells, tighten loose skin, stimulate new collagen production, reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks, and contour both face and body areas with precision.
How Does Accent Prime Body Contouring Work?
Accent Prime uses a combination of ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF) technology to help you achieve your appearance goals. Ultrasound technology selectively targets fat cells with guided ultrasonic waves.
This creates a controlled disruption of fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these damaged fat cells over time.
Accent Prime’s proprietary Unipolar™ radiofrequency technology generates controlled heating in multiple tissue depths at the same time. This stimulates collagen production, tightens existing collagen fibers, and improves overall skin texture and elasticity.
Together, these technologies reduce fat while simultaneously tightening the skin, addressing two common concerns in a single treatment approach.
Who is a Good Candidate for Accent Prime Body Contouring?
Ideal candidates for Accent Prime body contouring have isolated areas of fat or loose skin that have been resistant to diet and exercise, are at or near their target weight, have good skin elasticity, are committed to maintaining results with a healthy lifestyle, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. It’s important to understand that Accent Prime is not a weight-loss solution.
This body contouring procedure is recommended for people who have small areas or pockets of loose skin and/or fat that have resisted the effects of healthy eating and exercise. The treatment is safe and effective for all skin types (I-VI), including the thin, delicate areas of the face, neck, and décolleté.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your areas of concern, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history to determine if Accent Prime is right for you or if another treatment approach would better address your concerns.
What Is the Accent Prime Body Contouring Treatment Like?
During your Accent Prime body contouring session, the treatment area is cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to make it comfortable. Your provider will then move the device across the treatment area, delivering precise ultrasonic and RF energy.
Most patients describe the sensation as a comfortable, warming feeling, similar to a hot stone massage. The integrated cooling technology in the applicator reduces the heat sensation to a level that is well-tolerated by most individuals.
Treatment time varies depending on the areas being addressed. Typically, small areas can be treated in 20-30 minutes, while larger or multiple areas may require 45-60 minutes.
What to Expect After Accent Prime Body Contouring
After your Accent Prime body contouring treatment, you can immediately return to normal activities with no downtime required. The area may appear slightly red or feel warm for a few hours, but these effects quickly subside.
Initial results may be visible within weeks, with peak results typically developing over 2-3 months as your body eliminates fat cells and produces new collagen. While some patients may see results after a single session, providers generally recommend a series of 4-8 treatments, spaced two weeks apart, for optimal results.
Your specific treatment plan will be customized based on your body, goals, and response to treatment.
Is Accent Prime Body Contouring Permanent?
Accent Prime body contouring permanently destroys treated fat cells. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and regular exercise is essential for long-term results.
If the results are not maintained with healthy eating and exercise, the remaining fat cells can unevenly collect new fatty acid molecules, potentially giving a lumpy appearance to the treated area. Similarly, the skin tightening effect of Accent Prime comes from new and strengthened collagen, but collagen naturally degrades over time.
To maintain its skin tightening results, it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes daily use of sun protection and effective skincare. The longevity of results depends on your unique body chemistry and the daily habits you adopt post-procedure.
