How long does it take to see the results from a Vanquish treatment?

The Vanquish is designed to destroy unwanted fat cells over the course of four to six treatment sessions. Drink plenty of water and maintain your active lifestyle to get best results. A realistic expectation with four to six treatments is around 2 inches lost around the abdomen. The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology recently published the first long-term fat reduction study. BTL Vanquish ME Patients, maintained 75% of their initial body contouring results FOUR years later. We highly recommend Vanquish, and have maintained great results at our Medical Spa. Best of luck.Dr. R. Kevin Haney

Results from Vanquish can take 4 to 8 weeks to be visible. Remember, the fat cells are destroyed by the heat and the body has to slowly get rid of them.  Be patient and stick to a healthy diet and excersise and as time goes on the results can be easily felt and measured.

Noninvasive fat removal techniques such as Vanquish rely on the body’s lymph system to clear the debris created by the fat cells killed during the procedure. That means it can take a few weeks or even a few months before you notice the results of your treatment. You may also need up to three or four treatments to get your desired shape. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to find out more about Vanquish, CoolSculpting, Thermi, and other means of permanently removing unwanted fat.

It can take several weeks to begin to see results with Vanquish. Vanquish is good for permanently removing stubborn areas of fat and providing mild skin tightening, but needs a combination approach to get the most improvement. I recommend combining Vanquish with Venus Legacy/Exilis Ultra treatments. We currently use a fire and ice treatment with Coolsculpting and Vanquish for good results in fat removal. However, a VASER hi definition procedure would give you the best results for body shaping, but requires more down-time. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello! We typically recommend 4-6 treatments and expect to see results 6-8 weeks following last treatment. It is best if you follow a reasonable diet and exercise program and stay hydrated.

Hello and thank you for your question.  Many patients see results in as little as 2-3 treatments, but it takes on average 2-4 months to realize your full results after your final treatment.  It's important to enjoy a healthy, balanced diet and also remember to stay hydrated.  Best wishes to you and good luck!

Vanquish is an excellent treatment to destroy fat cells without any surgery or cutting to the skin.  In fact it is the only 'non-contact body contouring treatment', meaning that the applicator does not touch the skin at all during treatment.  This is made possible because Vanquish uses radio frequency energy to achieve the clinical results and on account of the large applicator area, it is especially suitable at targeting fat cells in areas such as the abdomen or thighs.  However it does require a course of between 4 to 6 treatments spaced approximately 1 week apart and the best results will be visible about 1 month after the last treatment.  Also keep in mind that in order to maintain the results of your Vanquish treatment it is important to maintain a balanced diet and adopt some sort of regular exercise programme.  Best of luck with your treatment.

We have seen patients enjoy results quickly from Vanquish. We add the Zwave, or "fat-cracker" after treating patients, which mobilizes dead fat cells from the area quickly. The treatments can also be done once per week, so our patients see results in the first 1-2 weeks while they are being treated, especially if they are eating well and exercising. 

You will need a series of Vanquish treatments, usually 4 to 6 depending on how much fat you have. We usually perform Vanquish one to two weeks apart. Each treatment will have a small effect but when added up most people get a great result. You may see small results after each treatment but the maximum results will be seen about one month after the last treatment.

Vanquish destroys the fat cells and release the fat into the bloodstream. It takes 1-2 weeks for your body to flush it out (good hydration is very important) and another few weeks to see final results. After your series of 4-6 treatments, results should be visible 1-2 months later. To maximize results, you'll want to combine your Vanquish treatments with Exilis Ultra which can be performed at the same time.
