Why Choose Accent Prime for Body Contouring and Skin Tightening?

Perhaps recent weight loss has left you with sections of loose skin. Maybe you’re looking for a way to eliminate cellulite for good. Or, maybe you’re seeking a non-surgical solution to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. In any case, the Accent Prime treatment can tick every box. 

What is Accent Prime?

Accent Prime is an aesthetic treatment platform currently used for body contouring, skin resurfacing, and cellulite. It offers deep heating, dielectric heating, impedance matching, ultrasound, focused radiofrequency, microplasma pixel technology, cold shear wave technology, hot ultrasound, and photo imaging technologies. These features are used to create a powerful, non-surgical skin treatment. 

How Does Tampa Accent Prime Work?

Accent Prime uses a combination of different technologies to resurface and rejuvenate the skin

  • For body contouring, Accent Prime uses deep heating and dielectric heating to speed up water molecules in the body. This triggers volume contraction, creating a more toned physique. 
  • For skin resurfacing, Accent Prime uses microplasma radiofrequency technology to stimulate new collagen production. This smoothes, tightens, and evens the skin, giving you a more youthful appearance. 
  • For cellulite, Accent Prime uses radiofrequency energy and mechanical massage to break up fat cells and stimulate collagen production. This results in a smoother, more even appearance. 

What Are The Benefits of Accent Prime?

Accent Prime offers numerous benefits as a body contouring and skin resurfacing treatment, including:

  • Non-surgical, with a low risk of side effects
  • Little to no downtime is required, with most people able to return to their usual activities immediately
  • Versatile, with the ability to personalize each treatment session to your unique needs
  • Cumulative benefits, with results that improve after a series of treatments

We’re proud to offer Accent Prime as a non-invasive body contouring and skin resurfacing treatment in Tampa. Schedule an appointment with us to learn more!

The Gut-Skin Connection: How Integrative Medicine Targets Digestive Health to Improve Skin

Your skin’s appearance is a window into your all-around wellness. Your gut, in particular, largely impacts your skin’s health. While a healthy gut can help you maintain clear, radiant skin, an imbalanced gut microbiome can trigger inflammation that reaches your skin. For many, this connection results in acne and other skin concerns. 

Thankfully, with an integrative approach to digestive health, we can get to the root of your skin problems and foster a healthy gut. Read on to learn more!

What is the Gut-Skin Connection?

The gut-skin connection (or axis, as it’s sometimes called) is the link between skin health and the gut microbiome. In other words, your gut directly impacts your skin and vice versa. This connection is thought to be caused by immune system regulation. 

The gut microbiome is the collection of bacteria in your gut. These bacterial species help you digest food and promote immunity. But, when there’s an imbalance of “good” and “bad” bacteria in the microbiome, it can cause an abnormal immune response, inflammation, and an increased risk of skin conditions like:

  • Acne
  • Psoriasis
  • Dermatitis 
  • Dandruff 

On the other hand, a compromised skin barrier can weaken your protection against external threats, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This triggers various immune responses that can impact digestion. 

After reading this information, the gut-skin connection may seem like a delicate balance that’s difficult to maintain. But, with integrative medicine, we can consider all the factors influencing your gut and skin health to work toward balance. 

Integrative Medicine for Gut and Skin Health

An integrative approach to gut and skin health involves evaluating all possible factors affecting your wellness, including your diet and lifestyle habits. These factors are often the root cause of skin conditions, rendering modern medical treatments like benzoyl peroxide and retinoids ineffective. 

Integrative physicians can also recommend natural herbs and supplements to reduce inflammation, lower your toxic load, and balance your intestinal flora. If we suspect an imbalanced gut microbiome, a high-quality probiotic may provide the relief you’ve been seeking. 

MindBodySpirit Care is Tampa’s first integrative medical center, providing individualized support for skin conditions and digestive concerns. Schedule an appointment today!
