The Treatment Experience

You will experience immediate, visible, subtle to dramatic improvements. Topical treatments have limitations whereby RF (Radio Frequency), US (Ultrasound) and Near Infrared (NIR) have powerful effects on the epidermis, dermis and even the deep subcutaneous tissue.

Each technology penetrates different layers of the skin, combination treatment is always more effective and therefore we recommend alternating bi-monthly.

Ultrasound treatment safely and effectively targets, hard-to-remove, fat deposits, naturally reduces and eradicates the fat cells without damaging skin or shifting fat to other areas (examples of facial fat deposits are double chin and jowls)

Duel layer Radio Frequency stimulates the cells to restructure collagen, improve elasticity, tone, tighten and further contour the skin. The results also show a reduction in dark circles and improvement of pigmentation caused by sun damage.

In combination, these dual-layer treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery.

The Laser Beautique uses a machine called the Accent Ultra V

Accent Ultra V Body Slimming is FDA approved, non-invasive, PAIN-FREE, and an effective alternative to Liposuction. Perfect for those with flabby skin and cellulite as it breaks down fats and firms the body at the same time.

Accent Ultra harnesses a patented ultrasound resonance system using a special frequency of 40.6 MHz. It combines a highly established Accent-Radio Frequency system to further enhance lipolysis and body firming. This system is especially good for those who need body firming and toning as well as fat reduction and it can be used for:

• Face slimming and firming
• Double chin reduction
• Arms slimming and firming
• Bra-line fat reduction
• Tummy slimming and firming
• Thighs and legs slimming and firming

Best results 8 – 10 treatments may be needed spaced out over 7-10 day intervals. Maintenance treatments may be needed to keep the results.

Yes, the procedure is completely and truly safe. In fact, Accent Ultra procedure is the world’s safest body and facial contouring and body and facial fat removal procedure. This treatment is completely non-invasive and involves no injections, drugs or even pain, and hence, there are indeed no side effects for it.

Believe it or not, Accent Ultra V gives you long lasting results. The ultrasound waves dish out so much damage to the subcutaneous fat cells that their ability to store excess fat in the near future is impaired for a long time. Patients who adhere to a healthy lifestyle can expect their results to last a minimum of 5 years.

In our experience results have been known to continue to develop long after the completion of the treatment, with continued “shrinkage” of the treatment site seen over 9 months after the final treatment.

While just one or two treatments can produce good results, your aesthetician may recommend follow-up procedures to best maintain and improve your body’s youthful appearance.

You won’t have to wait a single minute, for the non-invasive Accent procedure requires zero downtime. Just come over for a lunchtime session and go back immediately after it, with a whole new and improved facial contour.

While pain tolerance is subjective, most people tolerate Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy very well, and have little or no discomfort. The procedure uses IN-Motion technology, which gradually heats up the inner layers of the body so that you feel no pain during the procedure. Patients often describe the sensation as a “warm massage.” The risk of significant side effects is extremely low.

The Laser Beautique practitioners will give you a FREE Consultation and Test Patch. They will counsel you regarding the treatment and the expected results before your first session. As Vshape treatments work extraordinarily well throughout the year and on all skin types, it is highly likely that this treatment is also the right one for you.

We are proud to tell you that no side effects have ever been reported from the Accent treatments.

Treatment sessions typically last anywhere between 15 minutes to 2 hours, Depending on the size of the area being treated & if RF is used alone or in conjunction with Ultrasound.

As a guide each 150cm2 grid of Ultrasound takes up to 45 minutes, & each 250cm2 grid of RF up to 20 minutes. Therefore a half tummy treatment using 1 ultrasound grid with 2 RF grids should take around 1.5 hours including preparation time
