Celulite Reduction


	Cellulite Reduction

		*What is Cellulite?*

In cellulite, fat is stored in fat cells which lie between the skin and the underlying muscle. These fat cells are grouped together into large collections separated by fibrous strands (fibrous septae). These fibrous strands run between the muscle and the skin. In fact, fibrous septae surround and hold the fat in place in small compartments. As fat cells expand with weight gain, the gap between muscle and skin expands, but the fibrous strands cannot stretch and thus cannot support the skin. The skin is tethered down by string-like tissues that pull it inward, toward the interior of the body. The tension of these septae pulls in sections of fat along with them, causing the fat cells in the subcutaneous layer to increase in number and stick together within the connective tissue fibers, resulting in a dimpling effect ("orange peel" or "cottage cheese").

Accent® RF
A Non-Invasive RF (Radio Frequency) Technology For Cellulite Reduction

Accent® RF treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery or even topical anesthetics. An added benefit is that this is a no downtime therapy.

90% of all women over the age of 20 have the dreaded and often hereditary hormone and age based condition on their thighs, hips, arms and anywhere in between. And be sure, none of them like it or want it.

Women want to get rid of their cellulite but don’t want liposuction. Surgery can be overwhelming. It’s invasive and the clients need to take time to heal.

A new and non-invasive technology, the Accent RF has entered the cosmetic skin-care market by providing consumers with an alternative.

With a focus on body contouring, skin tightening, cellulite and fat reduction, the Accent machine delivers visible improvement in about six 15 to 60 minute treatment sessions.

The Accent works with the elastin in the epidermis to smooth the skin’s surface while heating the layers beneath to shrink the water molecules within each fat cell. This superficially tightens and smoothes the skin.

Unlike other technologies currently on the market, the Accent does not use suction. It relies only on applied heat. Light-based technology (Laser) is not a component of the procedure. This is a good thing as light is restrictive, functioning best on fair skin tones. We can treat any colour of skin.

The overall treatment is pain-free. There is no recovery downtime. You can come in on your lunch hour.
