With Vanquish, what is the optimal time interval between treatments?

Question

I've heard that patients need a minimum of a 72 hour window in between Vanquish treatments in order for the body to start the inflammatory process that gets rid of the fat cells. Is this true? Is it more effective to have Vanquish done once a week, versus twice a week, if total number of treatments is the same? I've heard some offices do a twice per week protocol--is there an advantage to this?

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Here in our office we have found the best outcome to be 1 hour as opposed to the 30 minute treatment time and once a week for 6 weeks. #vanquish   #howmanytreatments   #fatreduction

Nicole Hayre, MD · Answer

Patients are required a 48 hour window in between
treatments, unless they are experiencing any persisting discomfort. There has
not been any supporting evidence to show that Vanquish treatments received
twice a week are more effective than once a week. Patients prefer treatments
twice weekly in order to finish their series and see results quicker. Treatments
should not be spaced further than 2 weeks apart.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Having used Vanquish in my practice for over three years, there is scientific evidence that treatment spacings at either one or two weeks apart makes a difference in the outcome. Patients work their schedules so they come come back for their next treatment between one to weeks after the last. I have not seen any problems with skin damage.

Laura A. Sudarsky, MD (retired) · Answer

The vanquish fat reduction protocol calls for 1 treatment a week for 4 weeks to have the best outcome. It helps to combine the vanquish treatments with diet, exercise and hydration. I have not had any skin damage in my practice.
