Are there any concerns with treating your back with the Vanquish fat reduction device?

Question

I am concerned about my spine in that I have heard the radio waves can penetrate up to one inch deep. I have fat accumulations on my back to the left and right of the spine like most people. Are nerve cells in the spine unaffected by the heat?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I have used this device weekly on my back and stomach with amazing outcomes. I have a six pack.  I suggest you see an expert to determine what is best for you given your own situation.  The device is safe.  Best, Dr. Emer.

We have been doing vanquish to the back fat area with no issues for over a year. We have had no reports of nerve damage. I would consult the doctor near you, but you should be fine. Hope this helps

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

This is done routinely on the lower back area. There is no concern about nerve damage. Some docs to the front application and then roll the patient over and treat the back side at a similar level.
