The Complete Body
Shaping Therapy Program
|
Traditionally, body
shaping has been perfomed by liposuction, also known as
liposculpture, tumescent liposucution, ultrasound assisted
liposuction, vibratory assisted liposuction. All of these procedures
can be performed safely to remove disproportionate fat from the
subcutaneous regions of the body such as the abdomen, hips, waist,
flanks, arms, buttocks, chest, and knees. Liposuction is performed
under a variety of anesthesia levels ranging from local anesthesia
using the Tumescent Technique to combinations using Intravenous
sedation to complete anesthesia, known as General Anesthesia.
 Now
a Non-Invasive technique of Body Shaping is evolving with
more advanced technologies using ultrasound, laser energy,
radiofrequency energy, and mechanical massage. A number of new
devices such as VELASMOOTH, BODY by THERMAGE, ACCENT Radiofrequency,
ULTRASHAPE, TRIACTIVE, ENDERMOLOGIE, ALUMA, and others are being
studied and refined. At Premier Plastic Surgery, Dr. Newman and his
team of doctors, nurses and aestheticians are putting these
technologies to work to improve cellulite, body shape, skin firming
both for patients undergoing liposuction as well as patients who
want a completely non surgical treatment.
Currently, Dr Newman And His Team
are focusing on the proven technology of volumetric tissue
tightening developed at THERMAGE and combining this with laser
energy and other modalities to enhance results. If you feel your
body is in need of some RE-SHAPING with or without liposculpture,
you may want to schedule a personal consultation to see what your
options are. Dr. Newman also works with the top personal trainers in
the San Francisco Bay Area and combine their professional services
to help patients achieve their goals. |

Q. On
what parts of the body can Accent be used?
A.
Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy Accent Your Body treatments can be
performed to treat loose, wrinkled skin anywhere on the body. The
procedure is frequently used to treat the thin, loose and crepe-like skin
often found on the aging face, neck and under the upper arms. It is also
excellent for firming skin on the post-surgical or postnatal abdomen,
chest, thighs or breasts.

|
|
|
Q.
What is an Accent Your Body treatment like?
A.
During the procedure, your doctor will use the Accent system to
precisely heat the tissue just within your skin's inner layer (dermis).
Depending on the size of the treated area, a treatment may take up to 45
minutes.
Following each treatment, you can immediately resume all routine
activities. You may notice a slight redness, which should disappear in
less than 24 hours. Generally, no more than three to five treatments at
two weeks intervals will be required.

|
Q.
Is Accent Your Body safe?
A.
Absolutely. Incorporating advanced safety precautions, Accent
directs proven RF energy to precisely the areas of your skin that you wish
to improve. Thousands of patients have been treated safely and
successfully worldwide using the Accent system.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
When should I see results?
A.
Dual-layer RF Thermotherapy causes the deep structures of your skin
to tighten right away; results are immediately visible. With time, new
collagen develops, further tightening your skin and yielding even more
beautiful, natural looking and firmer skin. While just one or two
treatments can produce good results, your doctor may recommend follow-up
procedures to best maintain and improve your body's youthful appearance.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
Does it hurt?
A.
While pain tolerance is subjective, most people tolerate Dual-layer
RF Thermotherapy well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often
describe the sensation as a "warm massage." The risk of significant side
effects is extremely low.
|
| |
|
|
|
Q.
How does RF work?
A.
During treatment, your doctor will precisely heat an area of the
inner layer of your skin (dermis) using radio frequency technology. As the
dermis is heated, a natural reaction occurs that promotes the creation of
new collagen. The result: a return to the smooth, shapely and elastic skin
of your youth.

Q.
How specifically does the Accent Your Body system work?
A.
Accent Your Body is a new alternative in skin treatment based upon
Dual-layer RF (radio frequency) Thermotherapy. The Accent system is the
only system on the market using two individual types of radio frequency
technology: Unipolar and Bipolar. This unique dual radio frequency
technology provides controlled volumetric tissue heating to two distinct
depths of tissue.
Basically, the Bipolar module focuses on the surface layer of the skin,
while the Unipolar module penetrates further for deep dermal
thermotherapy. The Bipolar treatment is well suited for areas where the
skin is thinner and more delicate, such as the face, helping to smooth
fine lines and wrinkles. The Unipolar treatment generates alternating
electromagnetic fields that cause friction and heating in the deeper
tissues, which leads to improvements in overall shaping and firmness.
Taken together, these dual-layer treatments can create dramatic change
without the need for invasive surgery.
