Answers To The Most Common Questions About Vanquish Fat Reduction
At Cordial, we offer a wide variety of services to help you look and feel your best. One of our most popular treatments is the Vanquish ME for fat reduction. It’s a great choice for body contouring that is not only non-invasive, but also contactless. Let’s answer some of the most common questions about this procedure, so you can decide if it’s right for you.
#1 How Does Vanquish ME Fat Reduction Work?
The science behind Vanquish ME lies in radiofrequency energy, commonly utilized in dermatology and cosmetic procedures. Using a panel that hovers about an inch over the skin, this energy penetrates deep into the skin to reach the fat layers.
The fat cells begin to heat up and subsequently die, a process called apoptosis. The dead cells can then be flushed from the body through the lymphatic system.
#2 Who Is A Good Candidate?
This procedure is best for generally healthy adults that are at or close to their target weight and need help addressing stubborn fat deposits. We do not recommend Vanquish ME for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a metal or implantable device.
#3 What Is Treatment Like And How Should You Prepare?
Patients report that Vanquish ME is very comfortable and painless. The area being treated will feel slightly warm and may sweat, but no equipment is touching the body. Treatment is performed laying down, which is inherently more relaxing.
On the days preceding your treatment, you will need to drink at least 2 liters of water per day, and continue to stay hydrated throughout the full course of treatment. Before your appointment, we will ask you to remove any metal piercings/jewelry.
Sessions last around 45 minutes to an hour, and we typically perform weekly sessions for 4 weeks.
#4 How Is Recovery?
The most important thing to do for your recovery is to continue to stay hydrated, however there is no downtime or activity limitation post treatment. You can return to your regular routine immediately after your office visit. Keep in mind that the treated area may be warm and slightly red for several hours afterwards.
#5 What Results Can You Expect?
Most noticeable results will appear 2-3 weeks post treatment, continuing to improve for several months. Since the fat cells are eliminated from the body, they do not regenerate. Results can last for many years.
#6 Is It Safe?
Vanquish ME is a very safe way to perform targeted fat reduction. The radiofrequency energy does not affect skin, muscle, or internal organs – it’s specifically designed to pinpoint fat cells only. Clinical studies have shown very few side effects, and most resolve in a few days without intervention.
#7 Do You Need To Change Your Lifestyle?
We always advocate for a healthy lifestyle, treatment or not. However, we won’t require an exercise or diet regimen to receive treatment. Many of our clients say they were encouraged to make permanent healthy changes in their lifestyle after seeing the results, however!
