Non-surgical Body Contouring
Interested in non-surgical fat removal? Dr. Katherine Hein prides herself on staying up to date with the latest advances in body contouring. Accurate Aesthetics now offers BTL’s Vanquish ME™, a minimally invasive, FDA-approved procedure for individuals who struggle with stubborn fat bulges on the abdomen and thighs. Unlike liposuction and traditional fat removal techniques, Vanquish ME does not involve surgery. Instead, it uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and remove fat cells in the treatment area quickly. The result is a slimmer and attractive body contour.
Candidacy for Vanquish ME™
Ideal candidates for Vanquish ME are individuals who are at a healthy weight, but have stubborn pockets of fat on the abdomen and/or thighs that are resistant to diet and exercise. Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible for treatment with Vanquish ME™. Dr. Hein meets with every patient individually to determine whether Vanquish ME™ is the right treatment option for them. The trusted surgeon will take into consideration various factors including the patient’s anatomy, aesthetic concerns and goals before recommending a treatment plan. Unlike other non-invasive fat reduction machines (such as CoolSculpting® and SculpSure®), there are no BMI limits for treatment. This makes it a much more universal machine which can remove higher volumes of fat than any other non-invasive method.
Treatment details
During Vanquish ME™ (the ME stands for “Maximum Energy”), the treatment hand piece hovers above the treatment area, emitting radiofrequency energy. The energy heats up the fat cells until they are destroyed. Over time, the body filters the damaged fat cells through the natural lymphatic system.
Vanquish ME™ is an in-office procedure. The treatment hand piece does not come in contact with the body, leaving the overlying skin, hair follicles and sweat glands unharmed. You may feel warm during the treatment, similar to sitting under a blanket.
Results may vary.
The benefits of Vanquish ME™
Vanquish ME™ offers several benefits for patients who struggle with fat bulges but do not wish to undergo surgery. Benefits include:
- Non-invasive
- No anesthesia, injections or incisions needed
- No-contact treatment
- Minimal side effects
- Little or no downtime
What to expect after treatment
Because there is no downtime associated with Vanquish ME™, patients are able to return to their normal activities after treatment. Vigorous exercise should be avoided for the remainder of the day. Following treatment, the skin may be tender, warm or slightly red. These side effects are minor and should subside quickly. Patients notice an improvement in their figure as soon as two weeks after treatment. The final results from Vanquish ME become visible approximately two to three months after treatment.
Most patients need several treatment sessions (typically four to six spaced a week apart) to achieve optimal results. Patients are advised to maintain their slimmer and toned appearance through healthy diet and exercise.
