Which Treatment is Right For Me?
Wilmington Delaware
The Center for Body Contouring is one of the select clinics nationwide to offer Accent Laser for cellulite reduction and skin tightening.
What is the Accent Radiofrequency (RF) Laser?
The Accent Laser is a non-surgical, non-invasive, radio frequency (RF) laser specifically designed for cellulite, skin tightening, and fat reduction. Radio waves create heat which results in the disruption of fat cells ultimately driving dramatic changes. The body absorbs the fat safely and it is released by the body through urination.
What is radiofrequency (RF)?
Radiofrequency is an energy that causes heating by using radio waves. It is the heating that causes both the fat cells to disrupt and skin to tighten. Accent RF treatments can create dramatic change without the need for invasive surgery, needles, or even topical anesthetics.
What is the difference between Unipolar and Bipolar radiofrequency (RF)?
The BiPolar RF hand piece penetrates between 2 to 6 mm into tissue-reaching collagen. The Bipolar hand piece is used for dermal applications and skin tightening. Heating to these tissue depths therapeutically improves local circulation, promotes fibrous tissue breakdown, and helps manage areas subject to edema by promoting the reabsorption and drainage of retained fluids and toxins.
The Unipolar hand piece, which is unique in the marketplace today, allows much deeper controlled penetration of RF. Accent RF technology facilitates and enhances the breakup of adipose tissue (which functions as the major storage site for fat); helping to mobilize and eliminate fat deposits-non-invasively. The Unipolar RF penetrates up to 20 mm deep and is designed to treat deeper levels of adipose (fat). The goal is to reduce fat without the need for invasive procedures. The Unipolar hand piece contains a thermo-electric cooling system to offset the heating effects caused by the Unipolar RF frequency.
What conditions does Accent RF treat?
Body treatments include cellulite, fat reduction, and skin tightening for legs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, love handles, arms, and other "problem" areas. Face treatments include skin tightening for necklines/jowls, cheek lines, forehead, and eyes.
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a dimpling effect caused by the way fat cells lie in or between connective tissue in the body, occurring primarily in the hips-thighs-buttocks region. Contrary to popular belief, cellulite is not caused by excess weight. It's all in the genes, which explains why even fit women can have it. Exercise and eating habits, while helpful, often have little effect on the appearance of cellulite.
Does the Accent RF treatments eliminate these "problem" areas permanently?
Together with improved eating habits and exercise, one can experience better long-term results with most "problem" areas. Regarding cellulite, which is caused by one's genes, exercise and eating habits will have less effect on long-term results. Patients may require additional, future treatments to maintain desired results.
Is Accent RF safe?
The system has built-in safety protocols to ensure safety. Skin temperatures are measured after each treatment to ensure therapeutic results and safety. The popularity of this new technique lies in the speed of its operation and performance, as well as the fact that it involves no wound care or patient down time. The Accent RF is currently FDA approval pending and the Center for Body Contouring is one of only 30 sites in the United States contributing research data for the FDA.
Why Accent RF over other laser systems on the market today to treat cellulite?
Studies are showing improved cellulite reduction four times faster than currently approved treatments. Also, Accent RF is much more powerful than other RF devices on the market today for cellulite treatment. The goal is to give patients the desired results with safer and fewer treatments with longer lasting results.
Is the Accent RF treatment painful?
The treatment is virtually painless. The only sensation the patient feels is mild heat. No needles or anesthesia are required. The laser's built-in thermo cooler minimizes heat sensation on contact. The skin may become slightly red after the immediate treatment; however, this disappears within an hour or so after treatment.
Is Accent RF for both women and men?
Yes. The Accent RF can be used not only on cellulite, but also other problem areas such as love handles, abdomens, face, neck, etc.
How long does each Accent RF treatment take?
Prior to any treatment, a 30-minute consultation takes place with the patient. Generally, treatments are not done on the same day as the consultation. The actual treatments will vary based on the amount of treatment areas. Most treatments take about 30-45 minutes, which includes measurements, body water and fat calculations, digital photographs, and the treatment itself.
How many treatments are needed with Accent RF to reach a desired result?
It really depends on the specific patient and what the patient's goals are. It also depends on the treatment area and the amount of body fat or cellulite present. On the average, it takes 4-6 treatments to reach the desired result. Many other lasers on the market can take up to 16 treatments to obtain the desired results.
How often are the Accent RF treatments given?
It is recommended that the Accent RF treatments be given every other week to allow the body to process the chemical changes caused by the Accent RF treatments.
How are fat deposits and cellulite eliminated after Accent RF treatments?
The body absorbs the fat safely and is released by the body through urination.
What is the recovery time after treatment?
Patients can return to work or other activities immediately after each session.
Are there medical conditions that may prohibit me from receiving the Accent RF treatment?
Yes, they include any history of skin malignancy, skin diseases, history of collagen or vascular disease, implantable pacemakers/defibrillators or alike, any large metallic implant, any medication that can cause skin hypersensitivity, hypertrophic scar or keloid formations, pregnancy, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Is Accent RF treatment expensive?
Relatively speaking, no. In fact, the goal of the Accent RF is to help patients achieve desired results with fewer procedures, while spending hundreds less than conventional laser treatments.
Is Accent RF covered by insurance plans?
No. Accent RF is considered a cosmetic treatment and is not covered by insurance.
Does the Center provide payment plans to cover the Accent RF treatment?
Yes. The Center accepts most credit cards, debit cards, and personal checks. The Center also offers a variety of payment plans through Capital One Healthcare Finance to meet every individual's needs.

With our unique and comprehensive approach, you can achieve fantastic results with the least amount of downtime. Our goal is to provide honest, individualized treatment programs for safe,
effective and natural results.
The doctors at Physician Body Solutions are leaders in the field of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments and have brought many firsts to the Delaware Valley. Dr. Victoria Falcone, the Medical Director of Physician Body Solutions, was the first doctor to bring SmartLipo to Pennsylvania. Since 2007, over 1,500 SmartLipo procedures have been performed, making Physician Body Solutions one of the most experienced providers in this technology. They were one of the first practices to offer Accent XL cellulite reduction and skin tightening treatment participating in the FDA trials over three years ago. Dr. Daniel Francis was the first physician in the Delaware Valley to offer the new SmartLipo MPX. Dr. Stuart Diamond, who is a Board Certified Surgical Specialist with over 10 years of minimal invasive surgical experience, leads our South Jersey office.
The Physician Body Solutions High Def Advantage Experience the unique High Def SmartLipo Advantage offered by Physician Body Solutions! Although important, diet and exercise alone are sometimes ineffective in removing unwanted pockets of fat from certain areas of the face and body. Many patients turn to Physician Body Solutions to solve this problem. At PBS, we combine SmartLipo and VASER LipoSelection fat-liquefying technologies, along with Accent XL skin tightening treatment to give you exceptional results in changing your appearance. Our High Def SmartLipo and VASER ultrasound technologies provide impressive advantages over traditional liposuction procedures. You can achieve smoother, tighter, slimmer results while you are awake with less downtime. No general anesthesia is required. Stitches are not necessary, bruising is minimized and your recovery in returning to work is very rapid (2 to 3 days).
Turn Back the Clock with Active FX and Deep FX Laser Skin Resurfacing When it comes to laser skin resurfacing, PBS is proud to offer the gold standard for treating deep wrinkles, brown spots, skin laxity and acne scarring using advanced CO2 laser skin resurfacing. The problem with traditional CO2 skin resurfacing was that it caused weeks of downtime and prolonged redness. The UltraPulse Active Fx and Deep Fx laser is an advancement in CO2 technology. It fractionate's the laser beam treating only a portion of the skin's surface. By leaving small, untreated areas or "bridges" of untouched skin, patients have improved healing and more rapid recovery of just a few days. The results are remarkable.
A Brighter, More Youthful Facial Appearance Without Surgery If you look in the mirror and feel like those lines, wrinkles, jowls and
brown spots are adding years to your appearance but facial surgery and a long recovery are not an option, it may be time to consider a non-surgical, Liquid Facelift. Liquid Facelift skin rejuvenation and contouring procedures are done in the office, take minimal time and may help significantly turn back the clock a few years. You can achieve visible results without a single incision.
The doctors at Physician Body Solutions are always on the leading edge offering the latest in injectable fillers, skin care products and treatments. The Liquid Facelift involves a non-invasive, combination approach to contouring and sculpting the face. A treatment plan may be as simple as a series of injectable fillers over a period of time or a combination of Botox, dermal fillers and skin resurfacing/IPL treatments. Using Botox to relax deep grooves on the face, skin resurfacing with the Active Fx/Deep Fx to get rid of age spots and various dermal fillers to fill out hollowed cheeks, it is this combination approach that will usually achieve the best non-surgical result.
We welcome you to join the many satisfied and more youthful looking patients of Physician Body Solutions. You will be delighted by our individualized approach and dedication to customer service. Our physician's passion for their work and attention to detail are evident throughout the practice.
We look forward to participating in your personal transformation.
