Can Vanquish potentially be used for fat removal in male chest?

Question

I know that Vanquish is not FDA approved for fat reduction yet, and I know that it is only currently used in the abdomen and love handles, but is there any reason why it couldn't be used in the male chest? Is there any particular risk, with the nipple being present, as well as glandular tissue being so close to the fat in the chest?

Thank you for your question, in my opinion, Vanquish is the safest, easiest radio frequency laser to use for this.  The RF Technology gently heats the unwanted fat cells destroying them without harming the surrounding skin, muscles and vital organs. The RF waves are specifically targeting the fat cells destroying and eliminating them, other non-invasive fat reduction treatments only shrink the fat cells without completely eliminating them.  Vanquish is FDA approved for deep heating tissue which has an amazing side effect of eliminating your unwanted abdominal fat and love handles in a single 30-45 minute session compared to other 1 hour procedure time associated with other non-invasive Fat Reduction procedures. There is no pain or restrictions on your personal or professional life following a Vanquish Fat Reduction treatment. Please rememeber, Vanquish fat Reduction is a complement to women and men who are working out and following a healthy diet. Best of luck to you! #vanquish  #fatreduction  #nonsurgicalliposuction  #lipo

Thanks for the question, the chest tends to be more fibrous and may have extra breast gland which would require something more aggresive than vanquish. I like liposuction with either ultrasound or laser for breaking up the gland and fibrous tissue

Hi,In our experience with having both Coolsculpting and Vanquish,  Vanquish results in overall global fat reduction whereas Coolsculpting is for focal bulges.  In assessing the male chest, the ideal is focal contouring of the areas that feminize the male chest.Therefore,  I think Coolsculpting may be more appropriate but you need to be assessed by a physician that has both technologies.Warmly,Dr.Grace Liu

Thermage to tighten the skin and coolsculpting to reduce the fat would be the best combination approach for patients who are concerned with this area. Please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience in these procedures for the best results
