I Am Interested in a New Procedure Using a Machine Called Vanquish Has Anyone Heard of the Technology Behind This?

The BTL Vanquish is a great option if you have a few inches around your stomach that you'd like to lose, or around your thighs! We have had the Vanquish for 2 years at our practice and it has great results typically. Most medspas will give you a free consultation to make sure you are a good candidate for Vanquish. 

VANQUISH treatments are a one-of-a-kind method to permanently reduce fat by effectively heating and killing selective fat cells The procedure is unique in the way the heat is delivered-- suspended above the body to treat the area for desirable contouring. This non-invasive procedure makes a pleasant, pain-free treatment that effectively shapes the body and tightens the skin with its radio frequency energy.There is virtually no recovery time from the procedure, although we find it helpful to maintain proper hydration and a healthy diet to assure weight stability.#Vanquishfatreduction #painfreetreatments #permanentfatloss

Vaquish works great!  It was introduced in 2013 and was initially FDA approved for deep tissue heating. As of June 2015 now FDA cleared for “ non-surgical circumferential reduction of the abdomen” - it melts fat!

Vanquish uses RF energy to heat the fatty layer precisely, painlessly and selectively to a temperature that causes fat cells to undergo early cell death (apoptosis) by destroying the integrity of the fat cell. Like other techniques that accomplish the same effect, the body then clears the remnants by the lymphatic system. See the below link for a comparison to other available non invasive fat reduction options.#Vanquishfattreatments   #fatreductiontreatments   #Vanquishtreatsfat

Vanquish is an efficient, non-painful, non-invasive fat reduction
procedure.It uses radio frequency to
heat the fat cells in the first 1-2 cm of fat to the point they are destroyed
causing the layer of fat to shrink.It
is really exciting technology that works very well.Most patients need 4-6 treatments about 1
week apart.Being well hydrated and
maintaining a healthy diet and exercise program are key to the success of
vanquish.If you are gaining more fat
cells (poor eating habits) than we are removing, you will not see a difference.
In our office we use the Z Wave with every Vanquish treatment.The Z Wave uses sound waves to “break up”
the fat Vanquish destroyed and in my opinion it reduces any lumps and helps the
body absorb the fat faster.Look for
someone with experience because positioning of the patient is important for
great results.

Vanquish is a fairly new device that has been on the market for over one year now.  It utilizes radiofrequency (electrical) energy to heat the fatty layer selectively to over 110 degrees fahrenheit to cause the fat cells to undergo a process called apoptosis which destroys the integrity of the cell.  The body then clears the remnants via its filtering processes.  Vanquish is FDA cleared for deep tissue heating and is under evaluation by the FDA for clearance for circumferential reduction.  Treatments are relatively painless (it does get warm).  It feels like wearing a warm heating pad on your abdomen.  Treatments range from 30 to 45 minutes in duration.  Costs can range from $500-$750 per session.   Patients undergo 4-6 weekly sessions to achieve optimal results.  Results are seen approximately one month after completing the series.  We have had the device since January, 2014 and were the first in Orange County to have the device.  My RNs perform the treatments Monday through Friday.  We also utilize CoolSculpting for fat reduction as well.

Thank you for your question. Many procedures sound legitimate, but whether it can deliver on the clinical expectations is another matter. We use the Vasershape, and this gets the fat to a similar temperature, the VelaShape is also used, the Smoothshapes, Zerona, and Coolsculpting. They all do something, the Zerona the least, but the Vanquish needs to be proven over time, and with any new machine, the claims often are more than the results. Will it help, likely, but will it better significantly better than the cast of characters already listed, probably comparable, but not significantly better. Only time will tell, and I recommend a wait of 10-12 months before evaluating the technology. I hope this helps.

We have the Vanquish machine at our Orlando office, since September.  It heats the fat to about 45 degrees Celsius.  It is an easy 30 minute treatment for the patient - feels like a warm heating blanket.  Usually 4 sessions are done.  The company data suggests that the average person will lose about 5 cm off their waist with a treatment series.  Our early results are very promising!

We have had the Vanquish device at our Quintessa Medical Spa for about 6 weeks and, so far, we have been very happy with the device. It is extremely easy for the patient. It causes no discomfort or downtime, treats about six times the area that fat freezing devices can treat, and appears to be very effective. It does heat the fat to 120 degrees while leaving the skin and underlying muscle at a comfortable 101 degrees. Animal studies have shown a 60% reduction in fat in the treatment area after 4 weekly 30 minutes sessions. If you do have a treatment, make sure you drink plenty of water prior to the treatment (2-3 liters) and drink 3 liters of water a day for the next 3 days after the treatment.

We have been using Vanquish ME in our practice since January and are having great results.  Patients love that there is no pain, no contact and no down time.  Make sure you get a well trained technician for best results.  Most patients with 4 treatments can expect to lose about 2 inches off their mid-section.
