Vanquish ME
Vanquish ME is the proven non-invasive body contouring procedure from BTL, one of the most well-respected body contouring companies, that targets problem areas on the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Vanquish ME is an energy-based procedure that delivers controlled, comfortable, doses of therapeutic heat to the target zone, firming and smoothing problem areas over time. The Vanquish ME CORE targets the abdomen (flank to flank) and the Vanquish ME FLEX targets the inner and outer thighs.
How does Vanquish ME work?
Vanquish ME uses a non-invasive Radio Frequency technology to deliver deep heating up to 45C to the layer of adipose tissue (fat) below the skin. This high heat effectively induces fat cell apoptosis (cell death). The cell is still there– not cauterized or sucked out of the body– but stunned so much that it starts to break up. Its organelles get resorbed, and in the case of a fat cell, the lipid contents get released into the surrounding space. Those lipids are collected into the lymph system, and ultimately your body excretes them. Over time, your body eliminates the fat from the treated area.
Can Vanquish ME replace liposuction?
Vanquish ME is an option for those who desire aesthetic improvement without the cost and recovery time of surgery. Vanquish ME is not liposuction, and will not achieve the same results. With Vanquish ME, however, there are no side effects nor risks of surgical complications.
How does Vanquish ME differ from Coolsculpt and Kybella?
With Vanquish ME there are no needles, no pushing or pulling of tissue into a vacuum device like Coolsculpt, which uses freezing to crystallize the fat (cryolipolysis), and no pain or numbness that is often associated with that treatment. Vanquish ME Core can be easily used on the abdomen (flank to flank). Who is a good candidate for Vanquish ME?
Vanquish ME is the ideal treatment for both women and men that live a healthy lifestyle but have problem areas that neither a no-carb, no-sugar diet nor any amount of crunches or 5K runs can resolve. Basically anyone who wants to decrease the circumference of abdomen and thighs – regardless of BMI. Patients who cannot be treated with Vanquish ME include: those who have active implants (IUDs, cardiac pacemakers, internal defibrillators, cochlear, insulin pump), tumors in the target area, or metallic implants in the target area of any kind, including joint replacements, screws, rods, or stents. Pregnant women should not be treated.
Vanquish ME treatments are safe for all healthy patients who want to improve problem areas where exercise and diet aren’t effective enough. The “Core” applicators are designed to target the entire abdomen (flank to flank).
What does a Vanquish ME treatment feel like?
Body sculpting doesn’t have to be painful. The Vanquish ME is the only non contact body contouring procedure.Most Vanquish ME patients find the procedure comfortable and therapeutic. Patients often describe the sensation as a warm heating blanket; you feel the treatment working, essentially the feeling of the “fat being slowly melted away”. You will likely have slight sweating during the treatment. Due to the Selective RF technology, only your fat layer is heated and affected. There is no need for any type of pain medication before or after the treatment.
When will I see results? How long do they last?
Truly appreciable visual results are not seen until 2-3 weeks following the procedure, though some very in-shape, younger patients may notice results sooner.
How many Vanquish ME treatments will I need?
The recommended number of treatments is 4 sessions over the course of several weeks. Treatments are usually scheduled about a week apart and patients have reported results as soon as within 2 weeks. There is no harm in maintenance sessions after the initial treatments as desired, because of the easy non-invasive nature of Vanquish ME.
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment takes only 45 minutes per session for the abdomen.
Can I do EMSculpt with Vanquish ME?
Yes! EMSculpt can be combined with Vanquish ME for even quicker results, muscle tone, and more fat reduction. Your Perfect Image Beauty Body Sculpting Specialist can put together a recommended treatment plan based on your BMI and desired results.
What do I need to do before my first Vanquish ME treatment?
Drink a lot of water the 2 days before your treatment, the day of your treatment and for the 4 days after your treatment. This will enhance and accelerate your results. We also encourage light physical activity, such as walking, soon after your treatment
Extreme EMSculpt
EMSculpt is the world’s only procedure to simultaneously build muscle and burn fat. This non-surgical, no downtime, FDA-approved procedure sculpts and defines select muscle regions, creating tighter abs and firmer buttocks. The results are dramatic. On the abdominal wall, the treatment improves muscle definition that you are already seeing from your fitness routine and addresses that stubborn inch of fat on your stomach that just won’t go away. And on the buttocks, Emsculpt technology delivers the world’s first non-invasive butt lift procedure, giving you the curvature, tone, and lift that squats alone can’t achieve.
EMSculpt, giving patients access to the same therapy that world-class athletes use to repair and rebuild muscles.
How does EMSculpt work?
The non-invasive HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technology induces powerful muscle contractions in a 30 minute treatment, the equivalent of 20,000 crunches (when treating the abs) or 20,000 squats (when treating the buttocks). Additionally, these electromagnetic pulses cause a metabolic reaction within the treatment area that strengthens and builds muscles while eliminating fat cells. The result is a deep remodeling and toning of your abdominal wall or the ideal curvature, tone and lift to your buttocks. Clinical studies show an 16% average increase in muscle mass and 19% average reduction in subcutaneous fat.
Who is a good candidate?
EMSculpt is the ideal treatment for both men and women who live a healthy lifestyle but desire a more defined abdomen, a stronger core, a reduction in lower belly pouch, or a fuller, rounder butt. The revolutionary treatment gives patients real muscle definition and thins out the layer of fat above, allowing patients to achieve fitness goals that remain out of reach. EMSculpt is also an effective treatment for post-partum diastasis recti. Patients who are pregnant, have had hernia mesh repair, have metal hardware in the treatment area, or metal IUDs should not be treated.
What does an EMSculpt treatment feel like?
The EMSculpt treatment is painless. Most patients say it feels like an intense workout, except you are laying down and relaxing during the treatment. During the session, electromagnetic energy stimulates muscle contractions, destroying fat cells and promoting muscle development in the process. Unlike other fat reduction techniques, EmSculpt employs an electromagnetic field technology that targets precise areas to tone select muscle groups and rid the body of unwanted fat.
When will I see results?
You will begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment. Positive results are usually reported four to six weeks after the last session and continue to improve for the next few months following the treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
You will need 2 EMSculpt treatments for 2 weeks for a total of 4 treatments. The treatment time is about 30 minutes for the abdominal area and/or 30 minutes for the buttocks. There is no harm in maintenance sessions after the initial treatments as desired, because of the easy non-invasive nature of EMSculpt.
What is the downtime?
EMSculpt is a no downtime procedure giving you the freedom to return to your daily activities immediately post treatment. After the treatment, you may be slightly sore for 24-48 hours, similar to the soreness after an intense workout.
What do I need to do before my first treatment?
Drinking a lot of water the day of and the day after your treatments will enhance your results.
