Accent Prime A winning combination

Every installation includes clinical training delivered by Alma Lasers Australia, and it is built to give your team a solid foundation rather than a quick handover. How long it takes depends on the device: some platforms need a short session, others run to more than a day, and multi-application systems with several applicators sit at the longer end. The training covers the fundamentals of the technology, protocol selection by indication and skin type, safety and endpoint recognition, so a practitioner can run the device confidently from the first week.

The part that matters most comes after installation. Learning a device is a journey. Clinics go through a period of trial and error with real patients, and that is when the more advanced questions surface. Alma stays in touch through that phase with protocol support, follow-up and Alma Academy sessions, so the foundation laid at installation keeps building rather than stalling. That ongoing contact is a large part of why clinics buy from the manufacturer’s own subsidiary rather than a reseller.

Yes. Accent Prime remains a current Alma platform, supplied, installed, trained and serviced by Alma Lasers Australia in Australia and New Zealand, alongside the newer Alma PrimeX. It uses no consumables, its protocols are mature, and it treats body contouring, skin tightening, cellulite and facial contouring on skin types I to VI. Talk to an Alma representative about which of the two platforms fits your treatment menu.

Both are current Alma body and face platforms combining ultrasound and unipolar radiofrequency. Alma PrimeX is the newer generation: it carries applicators Accent Prime does not, most notably UltraWave, its applicator ergonomics have been refined, the platform specification has moved on, and the user interface and clinical workflow are the newer design. Accent Prime is the proven workstation with the longest protocol history and the widest installed base in Australia. Clinics wanting the latest applicator set choose PrimeX; clinics that value a platform their staff already know, or are adding a second body system beside an existing Accent Prime, often choose Accent Prime. Both are trained, serviced and supported by Alma Lasers Australia.

Accent Prime puts two energies that clinics normally buy separately on one console: ultrasound and radiofrequency. The ultrasound applicators target fat and contouring, the RF applicators heat the dermis for skin tightening on face and body, and the Microplasma (Pixel RF) applicator adds fractional resurfacing for texture and scars. That range is why a single Accent Prime can cover body contouring, cellulite, skin tightening, facial contouring and rejuvenation, with no consumables per treatment.

For a clinic the practical difference is workflow: one patient can have contouring and tightening in the same appointment, and one therapist can be trained across the whole platform. Accent Prime remains available and supported in Australia, and the newer Alma PrimeX carries the same platform philosophy with updated applicators including UltraWave, an improved interface and refined ergonomics. Ask an Alma representative which one fits your patient mix.

Patients usually see a change in skin texture and tone after the first Microplasma session, once the short recovery period settles. The deeper improvement, in fine lines, acne scarring and laxity, builds over the following weeks as collagen remodels, so the result you photograph at three months is better than the one at three weeks. Most Australian clinics run a course of two to three sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, then review. Because Microplasma is fractional radiofrequency rather than ablative laser, downtime is typically a few days of redness and micro-crusting rather than a week or more, which is why it suits patients who cannot take time away from work.
