Treatments / Non-surgical contouring
Radiofrequency treatments for the abdomen that gently heat fat beneath the skin and support firmer-looking skin.
How it works
Body contouring uses radiofrequency energy to warm the layer of fat beneath the skin. Heated fat cells are broken down and cleared by the body over time, and the same warmth encourages collagen, which may help skin look firmer.
ABA offers two options for the abdomen: EnCurve, a dedicated radiofrequency system, and Accent Prime, which combines radiofrequency with ultrasound. Neither is a weight-loss treatment; both suit people at a steady weight who want to refine stubborn areas.

Radiofrequency and ultrasound in one platform.
Accent Prime combines two energies. Unipolar radiofrequency at 40.68 MHz warms the skin to tighten it and support collagen, while a patented ultrasound handpiece works on the fat layer for contouring.
Heat builds gradually and the system has integrated cooling, so most clients describe the sensation as warm rather than hot.
Radiofrequency body contouring.
EnCurve uses radiofrequency at 27.12 MHz to gently heat fat cells in the treatment area. The heated cells break down over the following weeks and are cleared naturally by the body.
Most clients feel only a gentle warmth, and there is no downtime.
Your visit

It can be used on all skin types, but pregnancy, some health conditions and certain implants mean it is not suitable for everyone. We review your medical history at consultation.
