At my first treatment appointment, I was told my hydration level was too low, which I appreciated UNTIL the esthetician- not MD- began to hard sell me on having Cool sculpt done instead, at roughly twice the price of the discounted promotional rate the office was offering for Vanquish. So I would like to know what you think are safe parameters for Vanquish pre-op hydration levels? And if you have time, could you mention how the level is ascertained in your practice? Thanks

Answer: Coolsculpting/Vanquish For Body Contouring Versus HI DEF VASER Liposuction / Mommy Makeover / Tummy Tuck
The BTL Vanquish targets fat cells directly under the skin via radio frequency. The panels emit the same radiofrequency across the entire device. It is normal for your sides to be a little sorer than abdomen area, most people naturally carry a little more weight there.
Hi,I would notify your provider and see their recommendations based on your individual treatment and previous settings since they may want to wait until it is less tender before retreating.Warmly,Dr.Liu
Vanquish is not recommended while breastfeeding. I would discontinue your treatment until you are no longer breast feeding, and I would recommend letting your pediatrician know.
Congratulations on your new baby.
