About
Choose the area, target the fat layer
ACCENT PRIME is developed by Alma in Israel and is used on areas where fat tends to build up, such as the abdomen, thighs and upper arms.
Without incisions, it delivers 3D ultrasound together with radiofrequency and heat energy to the fat layer under the skin to target fat cells in the treated area. You may feel warmth or soreness during treatment, so the intensity is adjusted as we go.

Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
When do Tune Body results appear, and how many sessions are needed?
Tune Body is usually done as several spaced sessions. If fat thickness changes, it shows gradually over a few weeks rather than right after treatment, and whether it changes and by how much varies with the fat thickness of the area, your lifestyle and the individual. We set the number and spacing of sessions after examining the area and decide on further sessions by following your progress.
Areas with thick fat are sometimes planned together with Melting Cut fat-dissolving injections.
What side effects can Tune Body cause?
Common side effects of Tune Body include redness or a burning warmth in the treated area, mild swelling and soreness, which usually fade with time. Because the treatment uses radiofrequency and heat, blisters or burns can occur in rare cases, so please tell us right away if it feels too hot or painful during treatment.
Please let us know in advance if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, or have a metal implant, wound or skin condition in the treatment area. If blisters form, or pain and redness last after treatment, contact the clinic right away.
Can Tune Body be used for radiofrequency treatment of belly fat?
Yes. Tune Body's Accentuate applicator is placed on the abdomen to deliver radiofrequency energy, and we use it for radiofrequency treatment of belly fat. When the pinchable fat on the abdomen is thick, we may also use Tune UltraSpeed, which targets fat cells with ultrasound. Which applicator to use depends on fat thickness and skin firmness.
Tune Body's ultrasound and radiofrequency act on the fat layer just under the skin. If your belly sticks out mainly because of visceral fat inside the abdomen, we first estimate it with a body composition test and discuss diet, exercise and medical weight management together.
