Vanquish Fat Removal System

Want to lose those last few inches around your tummy or those irksome love handles? Now, we can help! Associates in Dermatology is one of the first dermatologists in Hampton Roads to offer the Vanquish Fat Removal System.

What is Vanquish Fat Removal?

Vanquish Fat Removal is a new state of the art, non-invasive Fat Removal and Fat Reduction procedure that eliminates unwanted belly, back, and leg fat. Using safe RF Technology to destroy the fat cells, Vanquish can eliminate fat without the side effects associated with Liposuction, Gastric Bypass or cryotherapy. Since this procedure is non-invasive and doesn't require anesthesia, there is no risk of infection or downtime.

How Does Vanquish Remove the Fat?

Using selective radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy, Vanquish targets fat cells without making any contact with the patient’s body. A multi-polar focused field shapes the electromagnetic energy field to optimize penetration and maximize the impact of the treatment area. The system automatically tunes the circuitry, delivering the RF energy to the precise depth.

The thermal energy delivered by the device is absorbed by the body, creating a warm sensation. Although Vanquish heats the skin to 101 degrees, and the underlying fat to 120 degrees, patients can expect the warmth to feel like standing in front of a radiator or sitting in a hot tub. Skin and muscles are not harmed, while fat cells are destroyed. The eliminated fat cells are then gradually removed by the body’s natural processes.

The Vanquish Fat Removal Treatment takes 45- 60 minutes. We recommend 4 - 5 treatments, spaced one week apart, to enjoy the maximum benefits. After your treatment, you can return to work immediately without interrupting your personal or professional lifestyle.

Vanquish has minimal side effects including redness of the skin and a slight warm sensation at the treatment site. There has been no reported pain following the procedure.

I completed 4 sessions of the Vanquish on my waste/ hip area. It has been 5 months now, roughly since my last session. The sessions are relaxing and almost feels like a heating pad wrapping around your hips. There were no after effects. I would go straight to the gym. About 6 weeks after the first appointment I could already see my hips and love handles starting to become more contoured. I have been doing monthly measurements and have continued to lose INCHES. I am down 2.5 inches around my belly button and 2 inches around my hips!! The skin is more firm than it was in the past. No more muffin top when wearing jeans!!"

How Soon Will I See Results

Some of the fat cells die right away, but others take a matter of weeks to do so. After the fat cells die, they’re filtered through the lymphatic system and excreted by the body. Although you may start to notice a difference in a matter of days after your first treatment, the greatest results will be seen just a few weeks after your final treatment. You can expect greatest result to be seen approximately one month after the last treatment.

The results are permanent; the fat cells eliminated by Vanquish will not come back. It’s still up to you to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
