Botox Alternative for Skin Tightening Philly

"Non-invasive treatments are the largest and fastest growing category in aesthetic medicine," said Yariv Matzliach, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing for Alma Lasers. "The Accent system has been approved for use in Europe, Asia, Australia, Latin America and Canada, where dermatologists, plastic surgeons, OB/GYN's and general practitioners have achieved outstanding results and a consistently high level of patient satisfaction.

Now with its first FDA cleared indications, the Accent system is poised to provide medical professionals and their patients in the United States with a new level of safety, efficacy and satisfaction in the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and rhytids using a combined treatment with Unipolar and Bipolar RF technologies."According to one Principal Investigator in the FDA study, Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, MD, PHD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale University School of Medicine, and Director, Dermatology and Laser Surgery in New York City, "I found the Accent system to be superior to prior generations of RF technology in the treatment of skin laxity, particularly on the neck. It is also a remarkable breakthrough that the system is painless and requires no anesthesia. Accent treatments can be performed rapidly with no downtime and can be applied concurrently with other non-ablative modalities, such as injectables to achieve better results in what is termed the 'non-surgical facelift.' Immediate skin tightening is evident and the results are often considered striking."

"We have found the Accent system to be very safe and relatively comfortable with a high percentage of responders," states David H. McDaniel, MD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, Eastern Virginia Medical School, and Director of the Institute of Anti-Aging Research Center of Virginia in Virginia Beach. "Compared to other RF devices we have used, treatment with the Accent system is much less painful, faster and easier to perform. It also allows more 'artistic' use on the face. Although responses vary, a high percentage of treated subjects showed a visible response. Some observe an immediate skin tightening of the face. Many of the subjects noticed a difference in the way their clothes fit after a few treatment sessions. It can also be used as part of a broader spectrum of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments or procedures which might include fractional resurfacing, IPL or LED photomodulation, and Botox? or other injectable fillers.

"Maurice Sherman, MD, Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery, University of California - San Diego, and the owner of the Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center in southern California, said "We obtained remarkably good results with the Accent system. It was consistent for all of the patients that followed the protocol. All of them showed an improvement. Some dramatic, some moderate, but every patient expressed satisfaction with the results. Everyone said that their skin felt tighter the day after the first treatment." Added Dr. Sherman, "Of all the RF systems on the market today, I feel the Accent is the most effective technology out there."
