Can I have vanquish fat reduction on more than one area at a time?

Question

I am deciding on Vanquish treatments, and I would like to know if I can have my back simultaneously treated along with my abdomen?

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Vanquish uses controlled radio frequency (RF)
waves to target fat cells, destroying them without harming the muscle or skin. The Vanquish procedure involves a system  suspended above the targeted treatment area , not touching the body , but emitting  energy perceived as heat.   Many areas of the body can be treated , but they must be done one area at a time as the technology allows. #Vanquishbodytreatments   #Vanquishfatreduction  #bodycontouring

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.When treating mid-secitons, we like to position the patient on the back for a 30 minute session and then on the abdomen for a 30 minute session if we are trying to treat both the flanks and the stomach and lower back fat at the same time!#Vanquishtreatsfat    #Vanquishfatreduction   #bodycontouring

Unfortunately, the adaptor is essentially a
semicircle so you would only be able to treat your back and love handles or
your abdomen and love handles in each session.

Unfortunately, you cannot treat your back and abdomen at the same time. However, Vanquish sessions only last about 30 minutes per area, and are a great option if you’re looking to remove unwanted fat deposits.

Hi,it is not possible to treat both areas at the same time since the headpiece hovers over the area of fat but doesn't touch it.  To treat the stomach, you need to be lying on your back. To treat your back, you need to be lying on your stomach.  Best results are when you try to stay still during the treatments since the machine is constantly trying to tune to your fat.Warmly,Dr.Grace Liu

Margaret Weiss, MD · Answer

With Vanquish treatments, it is currently best not to overlap areas on the same day. It is best to do one treatment session at a time.
