Do you have a question?
How Does Accent Prime™ Work?
Accent Prime™ uses two different forms of energy to break up fat cells and tighten your skin. Ultrasound energy creates pressure waves that disrupt and damage fat cells. Radiofrequency energy reaches into the dermis and creates heat that stimulates cells to produce more collagen.
The heat also causes your existing collagen fibers to tighten, immediately firming your skin. This combination of benefits even allows Accent Prime™ to treat cellulite, something few other body sculpting treatments can achieve.
How Many Accent Prime™ Treatments Will I Need?
Most people need a series of Accent Prime™ treatments to achieve maximum results. We recommend four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. You may start to see some tightening after your first treatment, but most effects will take several weeks to appear.
Your skin will continue to produce new collagen for months, giving you long-lasting skin-tightening effects. The fat removed by Accent Prime™ will not grow back, so your body sculpting will last as long as you maintain a consistent weight.
Is Accent Prime™ Better Than CoolSculpting®?
At Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute, we prefer Accent Prime™ over CoolSculpting® for several reasons. While both provide body sculpting with non-invasive fat cell removal, Accent Prime™ has some clear advantages:
- Comfortable treatment that feels like a warm massage
- Treatments only last about 20 minutes
- Tightens collagen fibers and triggers new collagen production
- Smooths the appearance of cellulite
- No risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH), a side effect of fat freezing
