The Naked Truth
No matter your body shape, skin tone, diet or exercise plan, over time our skin loses elasticity, collagen weakens and it becomes harder to lose certain pockets of fat. We also develop wrinkles, fines lines and have a genetic predisposition to cellulite, which becomes a common concern. Do you want a comfortable, affordable treatment that provides superior results with no downtime?
We offer three different options to help trim your waistline and get your curves back where you want them. Vanquish, Coolsculpting, and Venus Legacy. You can find lots of information about them on our website, but a lot of clients still ask, Ok, so what’s the best procedure? What’s the real skinny on these body contouring procedures? So here’s the skinny. The good, the bad, and the belly!
Vanquish
Vanquish fat reduction is the proverbial new kid on the block. It employs focused radio frequency to target and destroy fat. The primary treatment areas are the abdomen and flanks. Aesthetic manufacturers make a lot of claims about non-invasive fat reduction, but the truth is there are only a couple of non-invasive technologies that offer permanent results, Vanquish is one that works.
So what’s the skinny on Vanquish?
Treatment packages are set up as 4 or 6 session packages and each treatment takes 45 minutes. Treatments are spaced out a week to two weeks apart. The treatment is extremely comfortable. It feels like a warm towel or heating pad, and there are minimal side effects (some local redness similar to what you would get if you sat in a hot tub). The results are similar to a Coolsculpting package, but we’ve found that we sometimes see quicker results with Vanquish than with Coolsculpting. The Vanquish applicator does not even touch the skin, so it’s an extremely comfortable treatment. Results are seen 4 to 8 weeks after the last treatment with patients losing 1-3+ inches in their waistline. For a laying on a table over a 4 cycle treatment package that’s incredible.
Vanquish sounds almost too good to be true. What’s the catch?
Schedule: Vanquish treatments only take 45 minutes each, but you need to be able to come in on a regular schedule for 4 to 6 weeks. For women and men that have to juggle work or childcare it can be a challenge to make that schedule commitment. You also have to be well hydrated to get the most out of the treatment. Essentially Vanquish is able to focus on your fat because fat has a smaller water content than your other tissues. Drinking extra water the day before, the day of, and two days after the treatment is essential for a successful treatment. Sounds easy enough, but some people
