Lifestyle adjustments are usually the first approach to achieving good health and a fit appearance. But even the most dedicated gym-goer with the most disciplined diet may have a few areas they can’t get as toned or smooth as they want. When that happens, there are various invasive fat reduction treatments available like liposuction.
If you’re looking for a way to deal with stubborn fat deposits without surgery, BTL Vanquish ME, a minimally invasive fat reduction method, might be a good option for you.
What Is BTL Vanquish ME?
Vanquish ME is a type of radiofrequency lipolysis, a form of targeted fat reduction. It’s a minimally invasive technique, with no injections or incisions necessary. In fact, Vanquish treatments don’t require direct skin contact.1
The Vanquish machine uses radiofrequency waves to heat subcutaneous fat and destroy the fat cells. Your provider places a semi-circular panel over the treatment area, typically the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
Once activated, the device emits radiofrequency waves that penetrate your body, heating the fat beneath the skin. The heat causes some fat cells in the area to shrink and eventually be flushed out through your body’s natural metabolic process.
What Does BTL Vanquish ME Treat?
The treatment is approved for reducing fat deposits around the abdomen and thighs. It’s recommended for individuals with stubborn fat deposits just below the skin that don’t respond to diet and exercise. However, it’s not effective for deep belly fat and should not be considered a weight loss solution. This treatment is best suited for refining specific areas where fat loss is challenging.2
What to Expect During Treatment
A single treatment lasts 30–45 minutes and requires no anesthesia or numbing cream. Nothing touches the skin during the treatment, which only creates a warming sensation. Most people require four to six treatments, spaced one week apart, to get the desired results. You may see results after one or two treatments, but significant changes may only become apparent after completing the treatment course.3
Recovery from BTL Vanquish ME
There is no downtime after Vanquish treatments. You can return to normal activities immediately after each treatment session. However, remember to stay hydrated after your appointment.
Vanquish is considered effective, with an average fat reduction of around 2 inches at the treatment site. Once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back, making it easy to maintain the results through diet and exercise.4
There is minimal risk of side effects from Vanquish, which may include flushing and warmth at the treatment site, as well as small areas of firmness beneath the skin. These side effects can usually be resolved with massage.
The cost of Vanquish treatment varies, with the average cost per session ranging from $500 to $750. Some providers offer discounts for package deals.
