Bipolar Radiofrequency and Microplasma for firmer, brighter and more even skin


TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Accent Prime by Alma Lasers is an advanced platform that combines radiofrequency (RF) and fractional microplasma radiofrequency to deeply stimulate the skin's natural regeneration processes. RF emits controlled heat that reactivates fibroblasts, increasing the production of new collagen and elastin and improving skin tone. Microplasma, on the other hand, works in a targeted manner: it generates controlled micro-stimuli that promote intense but gentle renewal, ideal for evening out texture, refining pores and reducing small superficial scars or fine lines. In other words, RF energy creates micro-ablations (micro-channels) on the skin's surface with a thermal effect in the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen.


Thanks to its versatility, Accent Prime adapts to various non-invasive biorevitalisation needs:

  • Restores firmness to skin tissue, making the skin firmer
  • Improves skin quality, refining texture and tone
  • Increases brightness and evenness of complexion, giving a more radiant appearance
  • Reduces mild skin laxity and micro-roughness (fine, widespread wrinkles)
  • Stimulates deep regeneration without requiring significant recovery time

These benefits correspond to what has been documented in the clinical use of Accent Prime: the treatment visibly improves skin tone, texture, radiance and uniformity thanks to the heat-induced neo-synthesis of collagen and elastin. All this is achieved with a non-invasive approach, suitable for all skin types (safe even on dark skin) and ideal for those who want a gradual but natural improvement, perfectly integrated into a personalised biorevitalisation programme.



Bipolar Radiofrequency


Face - Neck - Décolleté


Controlled heat to stimulate collagen, elasticity and tone


Accent Prime bipolar radiofrequency is one of the most effective and comfortable regenerative treatments: through controlled heating of the deep dermal layers, it stimulates the synthesis of new collagen, improving the density and quality of skin tissue. The result is firmer, more elastic skin, thanks to the contraction of existing collagen fibres and the formation of new fibres over time.

Its main effects include:

  • Firmer, more toned skin
    Heat stimulates fibroblasts and promotes natural tissue rejuvenation.

  • Reduction of widespread micro-roughness
    The skin immediately appears smoother and more even to the touch.

  • Greater brightness of the complexion
    Increased blood microcirculation brings oxygen and nutrients, giving a more radiant appearance.

  • Slight lifting effect on facial contours
    Improved definition of the jawline, cheeks and neck is achieved through dermal contraction (useful for mild laxity). 

  • Improvement in skin elasticity
    The tissues are firmer and more "responsive", with greater elasticity and support.

 


RF is also suitable for delicate areas such as the eye contour, lip contour, neck and décolleté, areas that respond particularly well to controlled thermal stimulation. Each session is tailored to specific needs: targeted areas can be treated by modulating the intensity and duration of heat emission according to calibrated protocols, in order to achieve maximum results in complete safety and comfort.


Microplasma

Fractional radiofrequency


Face - Neck - Décolleté


Deep regeneration to improve texture, enlarged pores and scars


Accent Prime Microplasma is a form of fractional radiofrequency that creates controlled micro-stimulations in the most superficial layers of the skin, with a thermal effect that also spreads to the underlying dermis. Plasma micronisers generate tiny ablative areas surrounded by healthy tissue: these micro-lesions trigger a natural repair process that induces powerful new collagen production, improving texture and giving the skin a more uniform and smoother appearance. In practice, the treatment acts in a similar way to a fractional ablative laser but with less aggression: the skin around the micro-channels remains intact, which facilitates faster healing and reduces the risk of post-inflammatory spots compared to traditional lasers.

Main benefits of Microplasma

Deep skin renewal
Stimulates cell renewal, improving skin texture and smoothness.

Reduction of enlarged pores
Pores appear less visible thanks to collagen remodelling around the hair follicles.

Attenuation of fine lines
Smoothes superficial lines and micro-roughness, improving the appearance of fine lines.

Improvement of small acne scars
Helps to restructure atrophic scars left by acne (clinical studies have shown improvements comparable to fractional CO₂ laser, ~56% vs ~59%, but without cases of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with microplasma).

Brighter and firmer skin
The dual ablative/thermal effect makes the skin visibly fresher, firmer and brighter.

More even complexion
Reduces discolouration and areas of hyperpigmentation, contributing to an even skin tone.


Microplasma sessions vary in duration (on average 15–45 minutes depending on the area treated). Post-treatment recovery is generally rapid: only slight redness and swelling appear, which subside spontaneously within a few hours, without interfering with normal daily activities. Only in the most intense fractional protocols may there be slight peeling or micro-scabs with redness lasting a few days, which can be managed with moisturising cream and sunscreen. Even in these cases, recovery times are much shorter than with traditional ablative lasers (which often involve a week of downtime).

Microplasma can be used combined with Bipolar Radiofrequency in the same session for a more complete regenerative treatment: this results in deep toning, uniform texture and skin radiance in a single personalised protocol. This synergy of diffused heat (RF) and fractional stimulation (Microplasma) allows different layers of the skin to be treated simultaneously, maximising anti-ageing results in terms of tone, smoothness and radiance.


Exosomes

Thanks to the micro-ablative effect of Microplasma, microscopic channels open up in the skin, making it temporarily more permeable. This can promote optimal absorption of advanced topical active ingredients, such as exosome serums, enhancing their regenerating action without resorting to invasive procedures.

Frequently asked questions


What is Accent Prime?

It is an advanced technological platform that combines Bipolar Radiofrequency and Microplasma (Fractional Radiofrequency) to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, tone and uniformity. In other words, Accent Prime allows for non-invasive skin rejuvenation by exploiting two complementary modes of energy.

What imperfections can it treat?

Mainly mild to moderate signs of photoaging and texture irregularities. It is recommended for widespread micro-roughness, enlarged pores, loss of elasticity, dull complexion (dull skin), small superficial scars (e.g. post-acne scars) and mild to moderate laxity of the face, neck and décolleté. 

Is the treatment painful?

No, it is generally well tolerated. Radiofrequency induces an intense but pleasant and controlled sensation of heat, similar to a warm massage. Microplasma may cause a more pronounced thermal sensation (slight tingling or temporary burning during fractionated pulses), but it remains comfortable. Anaesthetic creams are not necessary. The cooling system integrated into the device helps to protect the skin and make the session pleasant.

Are there any recovery times?

Generally, no. After the session, you can immediately resume your daily activities. Radiofrequency leaves no visible marks, apart from slight, temporary redness. Even Microplasma, performed at low or moderate intensity, causes only slight redness and minimal swelling for a few hours. There are no open wounds or dressings. In the case of more intensive Microplasma treatments (e.g. for significant scarring or deeper resurfacing), redness and slight swelling may persist for 1–2 days, accompanied by subtle exfoliation or micro-scabs. However, these are manageable effects that do not significantly limit social life and resolve spontaneously. It is important to apply a moisturising cream and protect the skin from the sun until it has completely healed.

How many sessions are required?

The protocol is tailored to individual needs, but on average, 3–6 sessions spaced approximately 2 weeks apart represent a typical cycle for optimal results. The exact frequency is determined during the consultation based on the skin's response. After the initial cycle, monthly maintenance sessions help prolong the benefits over time.

Can the treatment be done in summer?

As far as simple radiofrequency is concerned, there are no particular seasonal contraindications: the treatment is safe even in summer, provided that sunscreen is used and direct exposure to the sun is avoided immediately after the session (RF does not make the skin photosensitive in the strict sense). Microplasma, on the other hand, requires more caution as it exfoliates the skin superficially: it can also be performed in the summer months, but only on condition that SPF50+ sunscreen is applied rigorously every day. Before proceeding with microplasma in summer, the professional will carefully assess the skin type and condition of the skin to be treated. 

Is it suitable for all skin types?

Yes, a major advantage of Accent Prime is that it is safe on all skin types, from phototype I to VI. Unlike some laser technologies, radiofrequency does not interact with melanin, so it can also be used on dark or tanned skin without significant risk of spots. Clinical studies have shown that Fractional Microplasma RF does not cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, even in Asian patients or those with dark complexions. Of course, individual assessment remains essential: the professional will adapt the parameters and precautions according to skin type to ensure maximum safety.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Accent Prime integrates perfectly into a COMBINED approach to skin rejuvenation. For example, it can be combined with our Harmony Bio-Boost (non-ablative fractional laser) and PRX (chemical biostimulation) treatments within personalised biorevitalisation programmes. The synergistic action of multiple methods enhances regeneration and improves overall skin quality. Accent Prime is often used to tone and improve texture, while the Harmony laser acts deeply by stimulating collagen and PRX chemically stimulates the dermis: combining them achieves a more complete and lasting result. Obviously, the suitability of combining treatments will be assessed during the consultation based on the condition of the skin and the objectives to be achieved.

Would you like to achieve firmer, brighter and more even skin without resorting to invasive or surgical procedures?

Accent Prime offers you a technological yet gentle biorevitalisation treatment, tailored to the needs of your skin. You will experience a natural and progressive improvement in tone, elasticity and texture, with zero downtime and maximum comfort.
