What is the difference between SculpSure and Vanquish? Is one just newer technology?

SculpSure is an amazing and revolutionary Diode technology, which is very customizable, predictable, comfortable an only takes 25 minutes per treatment.  It takes 1-3 treatments on average to deliver results.  Vanquish is a different laser, which uses radio frequency technology, which means that each time the energy used is different, so that is why it takes 4-6 treatments to see a result.  I have treated many patients who have had Vanquish and saw no results and after one treatment with sculpture, they saw a nice improvement. It all depends on the body type , the amount of fat present and the area treated.  It is always best to have in person expert consultation to determine if either treatment is right for you. Sculpture is super safe and effective and has over 90% satisfaction rate. Hope this helps. best, Dr.Avaliani

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is unique because it is the only FDA-approved procedure to contour the body, tighten and skin and reduce 25% of body fat in the treated areas within at least 1 simple in-office treatment. It is non-invasive and non-surgical and provides little to no downtime. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Sculpsure is a noninvasive 1060nm diode laser treatment that removes up to 25% of stubborn fat in the treated area in 25 minutes.It is FDA approved for the abdomen and flanks. It is safe if you get pregnant in the future.The body contouring effects are seen in as quick as six weeks with final results at 12 weeks. The results are permanent as long as you maintain your weight and health.The laser targets and destroys the fat cells only which are then naturally removed from the body. Since the laser does not affect the skin or muscle it can be used on all skin colors and there has been no reported incidents of burns when treated by a properly trained physician. It is protective since it alternates heating and cooling. It has four applicators that can be customized to treat the areas of stubborn fat. If a second treatment is needed we wait at least six weeks and usually closer to 12. There is no downtime and you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment. There may be some soreness in the area for a few days for which you can take ibuprofen or tylenol. A cold compress can also be used.Sculpsure is not used for skin tightening however some of her patients have seen this. If more skin tightening is needed we have combined this with thermi or Ulthera for a complete treatment. Sculpsure is recommended for stubborn areas of fat that are not being lost by diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatmentSince I have both a coolsculpting and sculpsure I am working on protocols of utilizing both of these depending upon what areas need to be treated and the response to the treatment. I have used sculpsure on other areas other than the abdomen with very good results. I also use a Vectra 3D imaging system to try and show people what their treatment areas could look like.Since Sculpsure outcomes can be based on technique and experience, please see a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes body contouring to see if Sculpsure or other treatments are available to meet your goals.

I use these two together to get better results!  Sculpsure is laser and vanquish is radiofrequency they work through different methods to reduce fat and tighten skin.  Best, Dr. Emer.

We have both technologies in our office as well as Coolsculpting.  I feel Vanquish ME is a great procedure for patients with larger BMI's who want more circumferential fat reduction around their midsection, back fat or around the thighs.  It is a painless 45 minute procedure which should be done weekly for 4-6 weeks and we have seen some very nice results with it.  Sculpsure is a 1060 nm laser that takes 25 minutes to administer.  Each treatment gives about 24% fat reduction.  We recommend 2-3 sessions for best results.  We will sometimes even combine them Sculpsure and Vanquish.  Sculpsure is a newer technology but Vanquish still has a valid position in the noninvasive body sculpting arena.  It's best to see a doctor who has experience with multiple technologies to get the best advice for you.

Personally, I am a fan of SculpSure. I think that the results are fairly astounding and superior to the those seen with Vanquish. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined and discuss whether this is the right choice for you. Best of luck.

Thank
you for your question. SculpSure is better because it delivers greater results
in a shorter time period. Most patients only need 1 treatment that takes 25
minutes. I currently feel it is the best noninvasive procedure for removing fat
on the market. 

Thanks for sharing your question. I can
appreciate your concern.VAnquish is a radio frequency technology that heat the fat from the outside of the tissue without touching it. Sculpsure is a 1064 laser specific to fat that is in close conection to the affected tissue. The more distance the more energy and the least control on specific tender areas during the procedure, making sculpsure a better option from the stand point of customization. 

Finally, make sure that you have a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Wishing you the best in your journey

SculpSure is FDA indicated for the non surgical reduction of fat in the abdomen and flanks.  It uses a diode laser to heat and subsequently destroy the fat cells.  Treatment time is quick, only 25 minutes, and there is no down time.  Off label  use of SculpSure includes arms, thighs, calves, back/bra line and male breast/chest.  Vanquish is not FDA indicated for non surgical fat reduction and uses radio-frequency waves, not a laser. 

One treatment of 25 minutes blows everything else out of the water! I would have trouble getting people to do anything else unless I didn't have the new SculpSure!
