Accent®XL was named the Most Promising New Aesthetic Technology in the 2006 Laser & Light Technology Choice Awards™. And unlike other RF systems, AccentXL provides effective treatment for wrinkles and rhytids with significantly less discomfort, a minimal risk of side effects and no downtime or expensive disposables. Plus, the technology is always upgradeable when new research innovations emerge.
The dual radio frequency modes produce therapeutic heat in two ways:
The IN-Motion technology of AccentXL represents a breakthrough in patient comfort, speed of procedures and repeatable clinical results.
It provides a gradual thermal rise to the target's therapeutic temperature, without the risk of injury and with much less pain for the patient.
The IN-Motion™ technology is administered using a sweeping technique, which enables a larger treatment area for body reshaping.
AccentXL works by gradually heating the dermal and subdermal tissue to tighten and re-contour both superficially and volumetrically.
Pre-Treatment:
Ultrasound image of patient's abdomen prior to treatment with AccentXL. Notice that the connective tissue is sparse, spread apart and not well organized.
Post-Treatment:
15 days post treatment (5 weeks, 2x/wk). The thickness of the patient's superficial fat has decreased 33 percent and there is a clear demarcation from the deep fat. Connective tissue has become uniform, linear and horizontally oriented, with an increase in collagen fibers
