Have you ever experienced the frustration of working hard to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, only to find that you have pockets of excess fat along your flank and midsection that just won’t budge? Many people know from experience that diet and exercise aren’t always enough to get the physique you want. Fortunately, you can get rid of stubborn fat around your midsection without having to undergo surgery with an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment called Vanquish. Could it be right for you? Here is what you need to know.
What is Vanquish?
Vanquish is a radiofrequency, or RF, treatment that heats fatty tissue so that it can be expelled from the body. Although RF is frequently used in skin tightening treatments, Vanquish is the first such aesthetic treatment that can work on large areas of the body at once, without a device panels touching the skin, using an electromagnetic field. The FDA has cleared Vanquish for use on the flanks and midsection for fat reduction.
Who is a good candidate for Vanquish?
Typically, Vanquish is recommended for people who are 10 or more pounds overweight and who are living a healthy lifestyle but have found that their weight loss efforts have plateaued. Patients should be over the age of 21. During your consultation for Vanquish, your Certified Medical Laser technician will review your weight, fat percentage, hydration levels, and 3D pictures of your body, taken using VECTRA technology. He or she will determine if Vanquish can help you achieve the results you want, or if you may be better suited for another procedure.
What is the procedure like?
No anesthesia or pain medications are required for Vanquish. During your treatment, you’ll lay down on the bed while the Vanquish machine is placed above you. You’ll feel a strong sense of warmth in the treatment area. After treatment, you will need to follow your provider’s recommendations for increasing your hydration to assist in flushing the fat from your body.
