Accent Prime is Alma’s established body and face workstation. It combines ultrasound designed to act on the subcutaneous fat layer with 40.68 MHz unipolar radiofrequency for deep dermal heating, so one platform supports body contouring, skin tightening, cellulite treatment pathways and facial contouring. It has been in Australian clinics for years, the protocols are mature, and the applicator range is broad.
Accent Prime or Alma PrimeX?
This is the question, and it is worth answering plainly because both are current Alma platforms. Alma PrimeX is the newer generation. It carries applicators that 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.
A clinic that wants the latest applicator set and workflow chooses PrimeX. A clinic that values a platform its staff already know, or that is adding a second body system alongside an existing Accent Prime, often chooses Accent Prime. Both are supported, trained and serviced by Alma Lasers Australia, and an Alma representative will walk through the applicator list against your treatment menu before you decide.
Accent Prime as an RF machine
As an RF machine, Accent Prime uses 40.68 MHz unipolar RF (AlmaWave). UniFace combines unipolar RF with a rotating massage ring for facial skin, and UniBody adds a rotating massage head and delivers dermal heating at four depths for body treatments.
Cellulite treatment machine or cellulite machine?
A single-purpose cellulite machine treats one concern. As a cellulite treatment machine, Accent Prime uses UniBody within cellulite treatment pathways and places them alongside body contouring, skin tightening and facial contouring on one workstation. Cellulite is multifactorial, results vary between patients, and the treating practitioner sets the plan.
What it treats
Applicators are designed for body contouring on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms and buttocks; skin tightening on body and face; cellulite treatment pathways; and facial contouring including the jawline and submental area. There are no per-treatment consumables, so ongoing costs are applicator life, servicing and practitioner time.
Who operates it
Ultrasound and RF body devices are not Class 4 lasers, so the rules are lighter than for laser platforms and a trained therapist can deliver treatments, but requirements still vary by state and by insurer. Every installation includes on-site clinical training by an Alma clinical specialist, and Alma Lasers Australia takes each clinic through what applies in its state before delivery.
Buying from the manufacturer
Alma Lasers Australia is Alma’s own Australian subsidiary, covering New Zealand from Sydney, so service, parts, training and protocol support come from the same team that sold the system. We do not publish list prices, because the configuration depends on which applicators your clinic will use. Bring your treatment prices and weekly bookings to a demo and we will build the numbers with you. Equipment finance is available through Medfin.
