Can a slim person with stubborn fat have Vanquish ME?

Question

Hi, I have stubborn fat on my flanks which bothers me and I would like to minimise the fat in that area. I just had a consultation where she did a pinch test on my flanks and said I just qualified. She said Vanquish wouldn't get rid of all the fat, but maybe 50% because I don't have too much of it. Is this true that it wouldn't get rid of much fat on a slimmer person? Can anyone recommend another treatment which provides better results when the area of treatment is small? Thank you!

Thank you for your question. It is quite possible that vanquish may be a good option to help with that stubborn fat you are experiencing, and can indeed help people who are slim.  However, I would not expect a 50% reduction in the fat.  Studies have shown that Vanquish will diminish fat about 22%.  Everyone is different and treatment results vary, but 50% would be highly unlikely.  In regards to the area that you are trying to treat the Vanquish ME is a great option with little to no downtime involved.
