The common misconception among women in search of a "quick-fix" solution to their tired, aging skin is to turn to well-known injectables for a plumping and tightening-effect. What most don't realize is that there is a revolutionary, virtually pain-free technology that delivers dramatic skin tightening and wrinkle reduction results without the pain and recovery of needle injections. Always at the forefront of the latest anti-aging skin care technologies, Manhattan-based JUVA Skin and Laser Center specializes in the Accent Dual Mode RF System.
Accent Dual Mode radio frequency, or RF, combines two radio frequencies – one that treats thinner skin, such as skin that lies just over bone, and one that penetrates deeper into dermal and sub-dermal tissues. The technology can be used to treat a wide range of aesthetic conditions.
According to JUVA Skin & Laser Center director Bruce E. Katz, M.D., some of the benefits of the approach are that it is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and is a virtually painless skin rejuvenation treatment.
"Skin tightening laser treatments that are less invasive and provide for a speedier recovery are very important to patients now," explains Bruce E. Katz, M.D., director of JUVA Skin and Laser Center. "With the Accent Dual Mode RF System patients notice a significant difference in skin laxity immediately following the treatment."
Accent Dual Mode was developed by Alma Lasers Ltd., a leading developer and marketer of light-, laser- and radiofrequency-based aesthetic devices used in dermatology. Clinical trials of the technology demonstrated that Accent was particularly effective in the treatment of skin laxity in the neck.
