Accent

Sometimes diet and exercise can only get you so far. It may be stubborn metabolism, or perhaps heredity factors have previously prevented you from having the body you always dreamed of.

Now there's a way to target those areas on your body you'd like to improve -- without liposuction or other expensive, invasive surgical procedures. It's a new body shaping treatment called Accent Your Body from Alma Lasers.

Accent Your Body™ provides controlled heat therapy to fight wrinkles and reshape any bulges or sagging skin on your body. The treatment process is entirely comfortable, quick and virtually pain free. You’ll go through a series of office visits to see the full benefits. Since it’s not surgery – there are no incisions, stitches or even anesthesia needed – there’s no recovery time required. You can go straight back to work or home, with no one the wiser. Accent helps smooth and contour any loose, wrinkled or dimpled skin anywhere on the body. The treatment can help flatten your stomach, slim your hips and thighs, and tone your upper arms. Many patients also consider it after surgery or having a baby.

The exciting thing about Accent is that it can be also be used on the face and neck to tighten and smooth the skin.  The video to the left is of the Accent Treatment being administered on the hit television show The Doctors.

Near Infrared Technology

The NIR module uses Near Infrared technology, a safe infrared light that heats the tissue under the skin’s surface, tightening skin laxity and improving skin architecture. The NIR handpiece stimulates the infiltration of fibroblast and the formation of new collagen, enhancing the tightening effect and helping to bolster the skin against future aging. The presence of healthy collagen in the dermis helps maintain the skin’s youthful resiliency and texture.

The NIR successfully treats a wide range of areas, including:

• Improving skin quality of décolleté
• Skin tightening of body, face, and neck
• Laxity of post-pregnancy abdominal skin
• Laxity of buttocks and knees

The NIR handpiece is used in conjunction with Alma Laser’s patented IN-Motion technology for virtually pain-free treatment. Patients will typically require a series of treatments over a period of several months, with each treatment lasting 30-40 minutes. Treats most skin types and ethnicities. Most patients experience no downtime and immediately resume their daily routine.
