AccentXL Radio Frequency System

"Most Promising New Aesthetic Technology"

Accent®XL was named the Most Promising New Aesthetic Technology in the 2006 Laser & Light Technology Choice Awards™. 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.

Radio Frequency

The key to the AccentXL system is the safe production of heat in the dermis and sub-dermis. Therapeutic heat is produced in two ways:

  • Tissue resistance to BiPolar RF current creates local, superficial dermal heating
  • UniPolar™ RF generates alternating electromagnetic fields that cause rotation and friction in the dipole water molecules of deeper tissue

These two safe and effective heat generation techniques give you all the tools you need to provide your patients with safe and effective treatments.

IN-Motion™ technology removes pain

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.

How the technologies work together: collagen reorganization

The UniPolar and BiPolar technologies work together to provide optimized results for your patients. By gradually heating the dermal and sub-dermal tissue, the AccentXL provides tightening and re-contouring both superficially and volumetrically. The body responds to the combined thermal delivery in the following ways:

  • Collagen fibers contract and multiply, which firms and improves laxity
  • Connective tissue contracts to improve the skin's contour, texture and architecture
  • Circulation improves and retained fluids drain from subcutaneous adipose tissue to reduce edema, erythema and overall volume

The combination of both AccentXL technologies provides unparalleled treatment possibilities for your patients and unbelievable opportunities for revenue growth.


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.
