Which is better for fat loss--Vanquish or Coolsculpting?

#Vanquish vs #Coolsculpt, #UltraShape, #Suresculpt

Many physicians that have purchased the
CoolSculpting device have purchase the Vanquish
as a treatment to enhance #non-surgicalbodycontouring
results. In some cases the Vanquish has
replaced it. Many doctors who have promoted #CoolSculpting , have determined that the Vanquish
is a fast, safe and effective way to
treat unwanted fat without downtime or complications. Some doctors use both systems or, as in our
office other systems such as Ultrashape and Velashape. Vanquish can cover a large area in a short
period of time per treatment and a much shorter course of treatment, – a whole
abdomen, flank to flank and circumferential. It is very efficient and a course
of treatment takes weeks instead of months with Coolsculpt.

Thank you and this is the quintessential question as new therapies arrive in the marketplace. Which is better? I would say truly, it is based on your need upon examination and assessment and desires or goals.
The science supports a greater a depth of fat reduction looking at cross-sectioned tissue with Vanquish by perhaps 2 times as compared to Coolsculpting. It is also the only one I believe to have had a small study of long term (4 year) maintenance- of 75% of initial fat reduction results. This is because the remaining fat cells can increase in size with behavioral and diet fluctuation. After all, we CAN eat our way out of even a “stomach stapling” invasive procedure and regain the weight.
Vanquish can also treat bodies with BMI > 30 or bodybuilders with 4-6% body fat. Larger folks will see a greater percent reduction and more noticeable effect.  
Coolsculpting requires pinchable fat to enter the suction device but may be better when geared toward sculpting areas that are grossly disproportionate-such as love handles or a distinct concentrated areas of fat that can draw attention.
For an overall reduction and slimmer silhouette, Vanquish may be superior time and $- wise as 4 areas for a full abdomen or 4 hrs of treatment will be covered in 1 45 min. Vanquish session.

Many of my patients like the results they have obtained from Vanquish. Vanquish has less down time, and is not uncomfortable. Coolsculpting can cause side effects such as bruising, swelling, or numbness. Coolsculpting can also feel unpleasant. The end results may be similar. Each patient may see more results than the other on either device. Many patients come to my practice for Vanquish because ultimately it is a more comfortable treatment that does provide results.
