I have had 6 vanquish treatments to the abdomen......

kgriffinMay 11, 2015
Last one a week ago. I have followed the water intake requirements, exercised and watched my food intake. I have not seen any results, visible or in inches. I will be starting more treatments to the abdomen in 2 weeks. What could be the problem? the technician says I'm tuning at 99 to 100%. Is it something the technician is not doing? How long will it take to see results. Thanks.

Hi,The key is whether or not you have good hydration.  If you have squishy fat that can be sucked into a Coolsculpting applicator, that may be better.  However, if your fat is pretty evenly distributed and cannot be sucked into Coolsculpting,  Vanquish is definitely a great option...
