What is Alma Accent Body Shaping?
Alma Accent body shaping refers to non-invasive body contouring treatments that utilize radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten skin, reduce fat, and improve the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite. The Accent system is the only system on the market using two individual types of radio frequency technology: unipolar and bipolar. This unique dual radio frequency technology provides controlled volumetric tissue heating to two distinct depths of tissue. This controlled heating stimulates the body's natural healing process, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers which are essential for skin health.
What are the expected results?
1. Skin Tightening - The heat from RF energy causes existing collagen fibers to contract, leading to immediate skin tightening. Over time, the increased collagen and elastin production results in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
2. Fat Reduction - Combining RF with ultrasound technology allows for the targeting and break down of fat cells. The ultrasound waves, particularly those known as "shear waves," penetrate the skin and reach the underlying fat cells and disrupt the fat cells membrane.
3. Cellulite Reduction - RF energy can also help to reduce the appearance of cellulite by targeting the subcutaneous fat that causes skin dimpling and by stimulating collagen production to improve skin texture and firmness.
