Non-invasive and comfortable, Alma’s cellulite treatment requires zero downtime. Optimal results are achieved using two clinically-proven energy sources – ultrasound and radio frequency. With the introduction of the new Alma Impulse feature, results are even more impressive. Looking for a cellulite treatment machine? Accent Prime and PrimeX pair ultrasound with unipolar radiofrequency for cellulite and skin tightening without per-treatment consumables.
Both combine ultrasound and radiofrequency for body contouring and skin tightening and neither uses per-treatment consumables. Accent Prime is the established platform with the wider applicator range, covering face and body contouring, skin tightening and cellulite in one system. Alma PrimeX is the newer, body-focused platform built around Alma’s UltraWave ultrasound technology, designed for larger areas and shorter treatment times.
A clinic that wants one device for face and body usually chooses Accent Prime; a clinic building a body-contouring menu with high throughput usually chooses PrimeX. Your Alma representative can compare applicators against your treatment list.
Yes. Radiofrequency and ultrasound for cellulite and circumference reduction are documented in peer-reviewed studies, and the Accent platform family has published clinical work behind its body applicators. Accent Prime and Alma PrimeX are included in the ARTG. Cellulite responds gradually, so the evidence and Alma’s protocols both point to a course of sessions with photographs at baseline and at review rather than a single treatment.
No. Both energies are delivered as a warming, massage-like movement over the treatment area, and patients typically describe the session as comfortable, sometimes relaxing. There is no anaesthetic, no downtime and no restriction on normal activity afterwards; mild redness or warmth settles within an hour or two. This comfort is one of the reasons cellulite courses rebook well: a 30 to 45 minute treatment a patient can have in a lunch break.
Alma PrimeX. Its UltraWave ultrasound and UniPolar radiofrequency applicators cover both parts of cellulite, the fat beneath and the skin above, on one console. Accent Prime, its predecessor, treats cellulite the same way and remains available and supported in Australia. Both are non-invasive and need no consumables.
Ultrasound and radiofrequency together. On Alma PrimeX and Accent Prime, the ultrasound applicators disrupt the fat that pushes against the skin, and the UniPolar radiofrequency applicator heats the dermis and the fibrous septae to tighten and smooth the surface. Treating both layers in one session is what separates a combined platform from a single-energy cellulite device, and it is why Alma clinics typically run cellulite as a course of sessions on thighs and buttocks with no downtime and no consumables.
