Is Vanquish FDA approved? Are there any risks to this treatment?

Vanquish is FDA approved currently for deep tissue heating. Studies have shown that this tissue heating results in fat loss in the treatment area. The FDA is considering the procedure for approval as a fat reduction treatment, while select practices in the U.S. are currently offering it. The risks associated with Vanquish are minimal and the most common side effects are a very short-lived redness and a warm sensation. I recommend my patients drink plenty of water before and after treatment for best results.

The Vanquish received FDA-clearance for
circumferential fat reduction in 2015.
We find it exceptionally helpful to treat the
abdomen , flanks , upper thighs and upper arms weekly for 4-6 treatments for highly effective results.  The risks of radio frequency are limited to the effects of the heat and may include redness or  warm spots but tend to resolve quickly within  the first 24 hours.#Vanquishfatreduction   #fatreduction   #Vanquishforfat

In 2015, Vanquish ME received FDA-clearance for circumferential fat reduction.  It successfully treats targeted areas of the abdomen, thighs , flanks and upper arms.  The Vanquish (
Maximum Energy) automatically tunes into targeted subcutaneous fat, to heat the
deep tissue and selectively destroy fat layers while
it remains blind to non-fatty tissues!   Some patients may see areas of warmth and tenderness or nodules after treatments with radio frequency but this is not the norm and are most often self-resolved In our opinion, the Vanquish works exceptionally well  to treat the
abdomen weekly for 4-6 treatments for             highly effective results.#fatreduction  #Vanquishtreatments    #radiofrequency

Vanquish offers non-surgical fat reduction for the abdomen,
flanks and now thighs.  We have been
using Vanquish for a while now to “melt” fat in the abdomen and flanks
area.In June we received the thigh
applicator for Vanquish and are very excited about the results.Vanquish is the world’s only operator independent radio frequency
device to reduce the circumference of the waistline.The Vanquish system’s patented technology
creates a high-frequency energy field that targets the thermal effects into the
fat layer while protecting the surrounding skin.This allows for a safe and effective
treatment that provides optimal aesthetic results without surgery or downtime.
The Vanquish technology is very different from other devices that use a point
source of heat or cold.BTL’s Vanquish
uses a panel array that emits selective radio frequency with the largest spot
size in the industry to treat the entire abdomen and flanks or inner and outer
thighs in one application. Vanquish is truly a breakthrough in technology.Published clinical studies show it
permanently destroys unwanted fat for safe and effective fat reduction.

Vaquish was introduced in 2013 and was initially FDA approved for deep tissue heating. As of June 2015, it is now FDA cleared for “ non-surgical circumferential reduction of the abdomen” - it melts fat! Such exciting news - a procedure with no downtime that is effective too!

Vanquish is FDA approved but doesn't work well for fat loss or skin tightening.  There are better alternative options such as ultrashape/velashape, liposonix, coolsculpting.  But maybe you would be a candidate for body contouring/liposuction.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in body contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.
