At Quintessa, we have had several different fat reducing devices over the past several years. They all work to a certain degree, but our experience has shown us that Coolsculpting is the most reliable and most effective way to reduce fat. The cost of fat reduction is completely dependent on your anatomy and your expectations. I'd recommend you see someone that can discuss all your options and come up with a customized treatment plan that works for you. Remember, if you don't get the result you want, even if the treatment is less expensive, it's still not a good value.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa Aesthetic Centers
Rather than price comparisons, which can vary, I would recommend evaluating effectiveness and the goals you're trying to achieve. Coolsculpting and Sculpsure work best in combination with radiofrequency treatments such as Thermage, Vanquish, Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra with Z wave/Cellutone. VASER Hi Def with ThermiRF, ultrasound and fat grafting are also great options, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a body contouring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
This is an interesting question. A comparison has been done to match the amount of fat loss with these procedures and the cost of obtaining that amount of loss. Vanquish is the least expensive way for you to have fat removed and Coolsculpting is by far the most expensive (comparing cost per ounce of fat lost.)
Even though Vanquish penetrates the topmost layers of tissue, it is recommended that it not be used by people who have a metal IUD. People who are having treatments must also take off their metal jewelry prior to having a treatment. You should discuss this with your provider to discuss your p...
Congratulations on your weight loss!!! That's a huge accomplishment! VanquishME is very effective at reducing fat and there would be some improvement by using the VanquishME in combination with Excilis Ultra. In looking at the photo, however, the amount of loose skin that is present wou...
Nodules/lumps are the most common side effect of Vanquish, but can be easily prevented and treated. BLT Cellutone (made by the same company as Vanquish) is a shock therapy treatment that can help to break up these nodules. Conducting Cellutone immediately after a Vanquish...
Tenderness after vanquish Is normal, it is actually a good sign that the fat cells are inflamed and necrosing. Massage the area, drink a lot of fluids and do not take anti inflammatory medication such as nsaids as that will reverse the inflammatory process which is important to kill off the fa...
Tattoos in treatment area are not a contraindication when using Vanquish ME. Vanquish ME is not a means of weight loss. Make sure you to combine your Vanquish ME treatments with healthy eating, regular exercise or a formal weight loss program to help you lose the 20 pounds. Good Luck!
The Vanquish uses a unique radio frequency energy to destroy excess fat cells under the skin. The inflammatory reaction is normal and is the body's way of disposing of the fatty debris. Sometimes the reaction is prolonged and lumps and tenderness ('panniculitis') can be...
