Question

I had 2 vanquish treatments..it's been a week and a half and I have 3 very large hard lumps on my abdomen..they are very red and very sore to touch. I am only about 15 lbs overweight and told I was a good candidate. I am very uncomfortable and NOT happy...is this going to subside and how long before it does ? These areas are not small..I can barely wear clothes and I'm surviving on Motrin to make myself comfortable. Please Help!!!

How often are treatments
performed?

A typical treatment plant consists of a series of six treatments
spaced one week apart. This may be modified per the BioSpa and will depend
on the area/s being treated, amount of fat, and desired result. It is strongly
recommended the treatment plan be executed just as outlined to ensure patients
achieve their intended result.

According to the company, there is no downside to spacing out
treatments to longer intervals. The final result will just take longer to
achieve.  Treatments less than one week
apart may not allow enough healing and may create some areas of firmness or soreness.the lumps will resolve with timemassage can help  , use some ibuprofen if you can

Sounds like Vanquish is working. Lumps are often do to fat that is dying or inflamed causing edema to form which makes it hard. It will take a while but in my experience they all resolve over time.

Painful lumps after Vanquish has been known to happen, especially if you have a lot of fat. Usually it is from fat necrosis which happens when the fat starts to die off. You should massage deeply and frequently, this often breaks up the lumps, which ultimately will go away.
