Vanquish - I Am 38 with No Kids and Used to Weigh 240 Lbs - Tucson, AZ

WORTH IT$2,000
About 8 yrs ago I weighed 240 lbs- Ughh- anyways I did a life style change and changed my eating habits to a much healthier diet (Paleo) and have maintained my weight at 178 lbs. My abdomen looks so much better then it did 8 yrs ago but wanted it to look better so I did some research and saw that Dr. Maloney's office had Vanquish which covers the abdomen and flanks :) It uses RF waves that only target the fat cells and melts them away. I have looked into other options like Lipo but didn't want surgery and also CoolSculpting. The thing with CoolSculpting is I have had many friends who had it done and it was not fun- they said it was extremely painful, left bruises for weeks and it didn't do a big area- in other words they had to do multiple treatments just to cover their abdomen and it left them lumpy looking and it was way more expensive. The great thing about Vanquish is that it covers the abdomen and flanks evenly and never touches you. Now just like anything you have to do your part (diet and exercises) and help them help you to get a good result. It takes anywhere from 4-6 Treatments ($500 Tx) depending on what your goals are and realistic expectations. The treatments take about 45 mins. and you lay there and they place the adapter over your abdomen/flanks and it feels like a heating pad- now the more fat cells you have to more you will feel heat to that area but it's tolerable and if for some reason it's not -there is a tech in the room the whole time and she can adjust it- then she does the Z-wave which helps to break the fat down even more Plus it's FDA approved for cellulite reduction (even better) so your getting both benefits! I am so happy with my results and the way I look and feel especially naked which was always my insecurity- even my husband who I did't tell that I was doing it- was like "wow babe you are looking really good" :)
So glad I did my research and found Dr. Maloney's office and his staff is amazing especially Vanessa who was my tech. she was very informative not just with Vanquish but also with skincare and laser and answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. Very professional and great customer service from the beginning when I called for my consultation to the end. Next on my list is skincare and will be back soon to start that!!!! Highly recommend Dr. Maloney and Vanessa

To get a positive comment from your husband is so nice, isn't it?  I love the detail of your review - so helpful for anyone thinking of having the procedure done.  If you've got pics you'd like to share, please feel free to add them.

Wish there was a doctor in Phoenix that had this equipment.

Bowmanag,
I wanted to let you know there is a place that is great in Tempe AZ called Stellar Skin and Laser that has the Vanquish machine and does treatments. I have currently completed my third treatment. I love it.
