  What separates Alma Laser's Accent Your Body from other beauty treatments?
  Only the Accent Family combines two proprietary radio frequency modes – BiPolar and UniPolar – to painlessly apply therapeutic heat at varying tissue depths, depending on the area being treated.
  The Bipolar mode focuses on the surface layer of the skin, while the Unipolar mode penetrates further for deep dermal thermotherapy.
  The Bipolar RF is for areas where the skin is thinner and more delicate, such as the face and neck, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
  The Unipolar RF generates alternating electromagnetic fields, causing heat and friction in deeper tissues, leading to improvements in overall shape and texture.
  Together, these dual-layer treatments can deliver dramatic results without the need for invasive procedures.
  What can you expect from Accent Your Body treatment?
  During the procedure, your technician uses the Accent system's proprietary vShape hand-held wands to painlessly heat the targeted tissue within your skin's inner layer, known as the dermis.
  Accent Your Body treatments do not require anesthesia or a prolonged recovery time. The procedure is painless and most commonly described as feeling like a hot stone massage. Depending on the size of the area, your treatment may take up to 45 minutes. While just one or two treatments can produce good results, follow-up procedures are highly recommended to maintain and improve your body's youthful appearance.
  Visual transformation is immediate and continues to improve in the days following treatment, as your body is stimulated to produce its own collagen, which is essential to naturally tightening thin and loose skin often found on the aging face, neck and décolleté. It also effectively tightens skin of the abs, flanks, thighs, and under the upper arms. Excitingly, Accent RF Thermotherapy has proven to produce excellent results firming the skin on post-surgical or postnatal abdomen, chest, thighs or breasts.
  What happens after the Accent Your Body treatment?
  You can immediately resume all routine activities. You may notice a slight redness, which should disappear in less than 30-60 minutes. Generally, no more than three to five treatments, at two-week intervals, will be required. Most people tolerate Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy well, and have little or no discomfort.
  Is the Accent Your Body treatment safe?
  Yes. Incorporating advanced safety precautions, Accent directs proven RF energy to only the areas of your skin you wish to improve. Thousands of patients have been treated safely and successfully worldwide using the Accent system.
  It is very important you take an active role in your treatment plan. No surgical or non-surgical treatment lasts over time if you do not actively participate in maintaining your results.
  The foundation for an outstanding cosmetic result starts with a healthy lifestyle, including a low carb diet and regular exercise.
  If you are being treated for volume reduction, drinking water is CRITICAL for optimal results. Living in the desert, dehydration is quite common. This is not only generally unhealthy, but also accelerates the aging process of your skin.
  It is encouraged that participants drink at least a gallon of water per day for a minimum of 5-7 days post treatment. Dehydration diminished the chances of optimum results.
  Please remember that drinking coffee/soda is not drinking water. In fact, coffee, along with alcohol, soft drinks and other caffeine products will promote dehydration. If you drink a gallon of water but have 2 cups of coffee for breakfast, a diet coke during the day and a glass of wine with dinner, your end result is far less than a gallon of water.
  Contraindications to Accent Your Body treatment
  Phlebitis and blood-clotting (hematology-related)
  If I have a metal implant can I be treated?
  You cannot be treated if the implant is near the treatment area.
  If I have a copper IUD can I be treated?
  Yes, but not over the lower abdomen for volume reduction. Other treatments like skin tightening or hair removal can still be performed.
