Vanquish heats and kills stubborn fat cells around the waist and abdomen using radiofrequency (RF) energy. While it will heat the fat cells up to 120 degrees, it does not adversely affect the skin, organs or other surrounding tissues. You may feel a warm sensation during your treatment, which lasts about 30 to 45 minutes per area.We generally recommend you get about 4 treatments — one per week for a month. You should lose anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of fat around your waistline or abdomen. Side effects tend to be very mild and may include some redness and warmth on the treated areas. It’s a great way to put a finishing touch on your figure by removing unattractive bulges without surgery or downtime. Please be sure you get your Vanquish treatments from a board-certified dermatologist.
Yes, the Vanquish will permanently destroy the fat cells, however, the results aren't permanent if you're expecting to eat poorly and not exercise. The Exilis Ultra combined with the Vanquish is a great combination that we often use. If you haven't already, ask for a free consultation to see if Vanquish is a good fit for your body type.
Yes, Vanquish is good for permanently removing stubborn areas of fat, 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 with fat removal, contouring and definition. Don't let distance dissuade you, see an expert for a formal evaluation.

Hello and thank you for your question. Vanquish treatments do indeed permanently remove a percentage of fat cells from treated area. That being said, if you do not maintain your weight, the other fat cells in your body can still expand. Have a great day! Holly, RN
Vanquish uses heat generated by invisible, radio frequency waves of energy to cause injury to fat cells in a similar manner that coolsculpting uses cold to injure fat cells. Both technologies affect 20-25% of the fat cells in the area of treatment but generally the area is much larger with the Vanquish treatment. Once the fat cells are injured your body's immune system will remove them and the contents are processed naturally by your body and excreted. This process is permanent and your fat cells will not regenerate but remember the remaining fat cells can enlarge if you take in more calories than your body needs. To get the best fat volume reduction results, at Tomorrow's Wellness Center, we often immedaitely follow a Coolsculpting treatment with a Vanquish treatment.
Great question! As a matter of fact, Vanquish Me uses RF to cause apoptosis of the fat cells. Once fat cells are destroyed they cannot come back to that particular cell. If weight is maintained and diet and exercise applied , the treatments are very successful. If one does put weight on, you may see an increase in inches elsewhere on your body where thriving fat cells live. Our patients see a overall decrease in body fat percentage. Weight may change , but what we are interested in is seeing the inches change.
Vanquish is a radiofrequency treatment that destroys fat cells (officially called apoptosis). When the cells are destroyed they are gone and can no longer enlarge. However, there are always some cells left that are not removed and these can enlarge if you eat enough to gain more weight again. Be sure to have a treatment with the newer Vanquish ME (Maximal Energy) machine to get the best results possible. You must also remember that this is a non invasive machine and therefore generally does not get as dramatic results as liposuction. At Accurate Aesthetics Plastic Surgery we perform both methods (as well as Exilis Ultra 360) and a consultation with the doctor or staff will be the best way to pick the right procedure for you.
Results of the Vanquish procedure are permanent because the radiofrequency from the treatment destroys fat cells. However, cells left untreated will expand and contribute to more fat if you were to gain weight. Similar to liposuction, there is a small possibility that you may gain weight in other areas.
Vanquish treatments destroy fat similar to liposuction but on a less aggressive fashion. Once the fat is destroyed like liposuction it is gone forever. If you gain a lot of weight, you can still look obese.
Thank you for your question. Vanquish Me destroys approximately 30% of the fat cells in a targeted area. This would be the same as if 30% of the fat cells were removed by liposuction. As for permanence of results, this is largely going to depend on your lifestyle choices. If you gain weight, fat cells in your body will get bigger and in some instances multiply. Further, visceral fat can increase which is a contributing cause to diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and even death. Thus, once the procedure is performed, the end results are largely dependent on you adopting healthy lifestyle choices.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
Thank you for your question. It is not true that Vanquish only diminishes the size of fat cells while CoolSculpting kills them. We have both devices in our office. We use Vanquish which uses the heat of radio frequency to destroy fat cells in a generalized way, followed by CoolSculpting to sp...
Both Vanquish and Sculpsure permanently destroy fat cells. Vanquish ME requires a series of 4-6 weekly painless treatments to destroy fat cells in the range of 60-70%. Sculpsure treatments are performed every 6-8 weeks with each treatment destroying up to 24% of fat...
Hi,Vanquish is field radiofrequency to heat fat cells and destroy them. It is color independent and should not affect pigment cells. This is why Vanquish is safely used on all skin types. Vitiligo can wax and wane since it is an auto-immune disease attacking the pigment cells. Vitiligo var...
