How it Works


The Accent Dual Mode RF system is the most advanced technology available in aesthetic medicine. The Accent system combines two radio frequency modes into one device, one to treat fat and cellulite, the other to treat wrinkles and tighten skin. This non-invasive, non-ablative treatment effectively penetrates and treats dermal and sub dermal (adipose tissue) skin layers.

Radio Frequency

The dual radio frequency modes produce therapeutic heat in two ways:

  •  UniPolar™ RF generates alternating electromagnetic fields that cause rotation and friction in the dipole water molecules of deeper tissue. The Unipolar hand piece, which is unique in the marketplace today, allows much deeper controlled penetration of RF. Accent RF technology facilitates and enhances the break-up of adipose tissue (which functions as the major storage site for fat); helping to mobilize and eliminate fat deposits-non-invasively. The Unipolar RF penetrates up to 20 mm deep and is designed to treat deeper levels of adipose (fat). The goal is to reduce fat without the need for invasive procedures. The Unipolar hand piece contains a thermo-electric cooling system to offset the heating effects caused by the Unipolar RF frequency.
  • Tissue resistance to BiPolar RF current creates local, superficial dermal heating. The Bipolar RF hand piece penetrates between 2 to 6 mm into tissue-reaching collagen and is used for dermal applications and skin tightening. Heating to these tissue depths therapeutically improves local circulation, promotes fibrous tissue breakdown, and helps manage areas subject to oedema by promoting the reabsorption and drainage of retained fluids and toxins.

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

AccentXL works by gradually heating the dermal and subdermal tissue to tighten and re-contour both superficially and volumetrically.

  • Collagen fibres 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 oedema, erythema and overall volume

Accent XL offers two advantages over existing RF technologies. As director of her dermatology and research clinic, Dr. Alexiades- Armenakas has treated hundreds of patients with the Accent XL device.

“Unipolar RF is electromagnetic radiation, not current, so it does not require a grounding pad like the monopolar RF technology in other RF systems, " she explained.

"Another advantage is painless treatment. Stationary treatment with a monopolar RF device is painful, whereas mobile delivery with either of the Accent XL’s handpieces heats the skin gradually and does not stimulate a pain sensation.”

“Of the non-invasive techniques, the Accent is the most thrilling because it treats the skin and fat,”
said Ilan Karavani, M.D., a dermatologist in private practice in Antwerp, Belgium.

“The Accent also requires fewer treatment sessions. You can see a visual effect. Deeper areas of the skin with fat are able to be heated. Heating the skin also results in contraction and improvement in skin tightening. Basically, you can heat everything that contains water.”
