What is the specific hydration range (in percent) necessary for safe use of Vanquish? How is it usually determined?

We do the "fire and ice" treatment in our practice which is a combination of coolsculpting and vanquish.  We find this does much more than just either alone. I suggest you see an expert.  Hydration doesn't play as much role in vanquish as people think.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. We measure your hydration levels with a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Scale. Optimal levels are between 45-50%.  We will generally not treat below 45%. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend consuming half your body weight in ounces of water. For example- if you weigh 150, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water daily. Hope this helps!

The ideal hydration level is 40% and up. This can be determined using a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) scale. We have treated patients with low hydration levels and they have still seen great results. However, the results of each patient may vary.  

Thank you for your question. We prefer to see the hydration level in the 45-50% range as measured by bioelectric impedence measures. These are typically performed on a scale. A comparison of fat cell destruction by Vanquish Me (Fire) versus Coolsculpting (Ice) reveals that Vanquish Me destroys a higher percentage of fat cells over a greater surface area. Thus, 10 times as many fat cells are typically destroyed with the Vanquish Me procedure versus CoolSculpting. Many offices have developed there own protocols to enhance their results. We perform the Vanquish Me Now protocol that we developed that combines 4 different treatments to optimize our results. Our protocol costs approximately half the cost of CoolSculpting. Other offices have combined Vanquish Me and CoolSculpting (Fire & Ice). I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
