What can you expect from Vanquish Fat Reduction and Body Contouring?

Vanquish is a nonsurgical body contouring option offered by Cordial Medical Spa that is FDA-approved for fat reduction on the abdomen and thighs. Its radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the fat layer, causing fat-cell death. Over the next weeks and months, your body removes the dead cells through the lymphatic system.

What sets Cordial’s Vanquish system apart from its competitors is its hover-above design, which allows it to treat a larger area in one session.

Vanquish is the first aesthetic RF technology to emit an electromagnetic field over a large treatment area, which allows for the safe delivery of RF energy over the entire midsection.

It’s also contact-free, meaning the Vanquish applicator does not come in contact with your skin. There’s no anesthesia, pain medication, or downtime required for treatment.

And it uses ‘tissue impedance tuning circuitry’—like a radio tuner—to match the characteristics of RF energy with the particular response of targeted fat.

Pros

• It’s noninvasive. Vanquish is a consistent treatment option, without the cost and recovery of surgery. Patients have shown lasting results when maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a smart diet and exercise regimen.

• Vanquish can treat larger areas in one 45-minute session, which makes it unique from other nonsurgical fat-reduction devices.

• There’s no risk of paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, a rare side effect of fat-freezing treatments that causes unwanted fat growth following treatment.

Cons

• Small areas of fat necrosis, which feel like hard lumps under the skin, are not uncommon, though they can usually resolve over time with the help of massage.

• Vanquish requires multiple sessions for optimal results, but Cordial offers packaging specials that make this very affordable.

• Implantable devices, such as a copper IUDs and hip replacements, can disrupt the machine’s energy, so people with these are not candidates for Vanquish.

What happens during Your Vanquish Fat Reduction treatment at Cordial Medical Spa?

Most patients require a series of three to five 30- to 45-minute treatments, spaced about one week apart, to get the best results. It is important to hydrate extremely well ahead of time (and for at least two days afterward), to speed up the metabolic process of breaking down fat and filtering it out.

Before each Vanquish treatment at Cordial Medical Spa, Dr. Glantsman or your certified medical aesthetics technician will take your measurements and record your weight, hydration level, and fat percentage. Then you’ll lie down on the treatment bed, and the technician will position the device above you.

While it’s emitting energy, it will heat your skin to 101ºF and the underlying fat to 120ºF. You shouldn’t feel much discomfort. If it feels painful to you, let your provider know so they can adjust the settings.

What can you expect after a Vanquish treatment?

After your Vanquish treatment, you may notice some pinkness on the treated area that may last one to two hours. You might also notice areas of firmness, but light massage can help smooth them out.

Does Vanquish really work?

Within two to three weeks, most patients start to notice a change. For most patients the improvement is gradual, with optimal results surfacing about four weeks to a couple months after your final treatment.

How do you get the best results with Vanquish Fat Reduction?

Your Vanquish results should last as long as you maintain a healthy diet and keep exercising. Once you destroy a fat cell, it’s gone—but cells that remain in the treatment area can expand and new fat cells can form, if you gain weight.

How much does Vanquish cost?

“The cost of Vanquish depends on the area treated and the number of treatments required,” says Mundelein medical provider Bela Glantsman. “Cordial Medical Spa specializes in creating affordable custom packages that fit our patient’s needs.”
