I am a 38 year old male and had my 2nd Vanquish treatment three weeks ago. Duirng this session, my skin felt hotter than usual. After the session I developed very large, lumpy nodules in the treatment area. I still have two areas with noticable lumps (although no more pain). WIll these eventually go away and is it safe to resume my third treatment if i still have the lumps present?

Answer: You can resume treatment as long as it is not tender
Hi,Since you do have metal clamps near your kidney, it would be safest to contact the manufacturer, BTL, and ask them if Vanquish would be safe for your special medical condition.Warmly,Dr. Liu
Having had Vanquish on myself I can tell you that this goes away in about a week. Its actually a sign that enough energy was transmitted to the fat to cause early cell death resulting in these firm areas that we call fat necrosis. I would wait until it resolves before doing another treatment.
Vanquish is an FDA-approved non-invasive body
shaping, skin tightening and fat reduction treatment requiring no surgery. The
treatment is designed to sculpt and reduce problem areas resistant to diet and
exercise. Vanquish effectively destroys stubborn fat in the upper and lower
abdomen, love...
