What is cellulite?

Cellulite is the abnormal storage of fat in the adipocytes (fat cells) in the hypodermis. The fat cells are grouped together into large collections, which are separated by fibrous strands. These fibrous strands run between the muscle and the skin. As the fat cells expand with weight gain, the gap between muscle and skin expands but unfortunately the fibrous strands cannot stretch. This results in the dimpling characteristic of cellulite.

Who is affected by Cellulite?

Cellulite is mostly a problem in the buttock and thigh area but can affect all areas in some women and men, irrespective young or old, underweight or overweight.

Up until now there has not been any effective way to improve cellulite other than losing weight (and this does not always help). Treatments like body wraps, ultrasound and massage can give temporary relief but do not alter the basic structural problem that causes cellulite.

ACCENT™

Finally, there is a revolutionary new treatment for cellulite called the ACCENT™, which uses state of the art technology to reduce both body fat and cellulite. Mechanical energy causes painless stretching of the fibrous bands to reduce the dimpling of cellulite, fat cells are broken down and absorbed, metabolism of the area is increased and the end result is a smoother, more regular appearance and general reduction in hip, thigh and stomach size.

What kind of results can be expected?

Typically clients are able to see a noticeable cellulite reduction after a series of 5 treatments. The ACCENT™ has been shown in Europe to not only improve cellulite, but actual weight loss has been seen in some women.

Who is a candidate for the treatment?

Patients with the visible appearance of cellulite and with any skin type are suitable. Treatment is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, people fitted with pacemakers, diabetics, or on photosensitizing drugs

How does ACCENT™ feel?

ACCENT™ treatments feel like a warm massage and most patients enjoy the treatment. No special suits or stockings are required during treatment. A gliding lotion is applied prior to treatment.

ACCENT™ for facial skin tightening/fat sculpturing

In addition to cellulite reduction, the ACCENT™ is therefore to sculpt fat as well as tighten skin. It also has a bipolar treatment hand-piece that provides more skin tightening. The heat generated causes collagen contraction and collagen production by fibroblasts.

ACCENT™ LASER: CELLULITE AND BODY SCULPTING LASER

Cellulite is that dimpled, cottage cheese appearance on the skin that affects 90% of all women. Cellulite is a fat cell. Different body areas are more likely to maintain and increase fat deposits than other areas. Fat cells in the skin are grouped around fibrous tissue that hold fat in place between the muscle and the skin. As fat cells expand due to weight gain, the fibrous tissue cannot stretch and support the skin. This tension pulls the fat cells together that begin to accumulate in size and number. The irregular dimpling occurs because of this "stretched" or defective fibrous layer, and thus, the fat protrudes into the dermis causing the irregular elevations and depressions. Even with effective weight loss and exercise, the defect in the fibrous tissue can not always be repaired.

The Accent Laser is the first body sculpting treatment to use both unipolar and bi-polar radiofrequency delivered with greater power and breadth of action to reduce the appearance of cellulite and fat. Radiofrequency produces heat to help destroy fat tissue and is currently used by other systems claiming to work on cellulite. The difference in the Radiofrequency used by the Accent is that it utilizes both uni-polar and bi-polar frequencies, which makes it more effective.

Bi-polar heat penetrates about 2-6mm deep in the skin for the superficial fat and the uni-polar heat penetrates up to 20mm deep in the skin for the deep fat. The Accent is the only technology available today that has this depth of penetration.

When the skin is penetrated by such concentrated heat, the skin temperature rises and the coiled layers of fibrous tissue holding the fat cells relax and unwind. The heat increases blood flow to the treated area, increases tissue metabolism and destruction of fat cells, increases lymphatic flow that is needed to remove the newly lysed fat cells, and also new collagen formation is stimulated. After four to six treatments, the treated area will appear tighter, firmer, and surrounded with less fat tissue. There are studies currently taking place to evaluate the change in tissue response to glucose and insulin. As fat tissue increases, so does the body's resistance to glucose and insulin. This is another research technique to show the effectiveness of this new technology.

This technology is also incredibly effective for wrinkles due to the stimulation of new collagen that can build new, firmer tissue to fill in deep lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. To learn more, please feel free to call or email us for a complimentary consultation.
