Vanquish Laser

Written by Dr. Halaas

The Vanquish ME (Maximum Efficiency) Laser is a body-contouring, fat zapping laser treatment! It is the newest non-invasive solution for non-surgical fat reduction. What makes this procedure unique is its ability to target fat with deep-tissue heating, which in turn causes lipolysis, without touching the skin. The laser has high-tech sensors that are able to detect the fat levels in your body, and then deliver customized level of energy to heat and liquefy the fat. The best part is that the body naturally flushes the dead fat cells, without the need for surgery! Also, the Vanquish ME Laser is large enough to target a much more expansive area than ever. Your entire core area may be completed within 30 minutes.

How Does Vanquish Laser Work?

The Vanquish ME Laser works by using radiofrequency energy, that senses the fat levels in your body, which delivers a customized deep-tissue heating to eliminate fat. The deep-tissue heating in turn causes lipolysis, or the liquefaction of the targeted fat. Your body will naturally flush the dead fat cells, without the need for surgery.

Who Should Consider Vanquish Me Laser?

Anyone who is in good health with minor excess weight is a good candidate for the Vanquish ME Laser. If dieting and exercising just aren’t working, and you can’t lose those last few inches this procedure may be for you.

	Surgical Liposuction	Vanquish ME
Procedure/ How it Works	An incision is made in the targeted area. The cannula, a long, sharp, hollow instrument attached to a vacuum, is inserted into the incisions and moved back and forth across the area to suck the fat out.	Radiofrequency energy is delivered on top of the skin to heat targeted fat cells, causing their death. Once the fat cells perish, they are flushed out by the body’s natural defenses. Healthy cells are left undamaged.
Anesthesia	Yes. Local or General.	No
Price	Upwards of $3,500, depending on the location of the facility and the surgeon’s fees.	There are no anesthesia or antibiotic fees so the cost of Vanquish ME is considerably less.
Areas Treated	Abdomen, love handles, back, buttocks, inner and outer thighs.	Abdomen, love handles, back, buttocks, arms, inner and outer thighs.
Risks	Seromas, unevenness, lumpiness and infection.	No side effects or risks.
Downtime	Most bruising and swelling resolves within 2 weeks. Any remaining swelling and soreness may take 3-6 months to resolve.	There is no downtime! You may resume all normal activity immediately after your treatment!
Results	Results are immediate as the fat has been forcibly removed. Patients must wear compression garments and let the bruising and swelling subside before they can look good in normal clothing.	Some patients report immediate results. Results are progressive, which means they will become more and more apparent within the weeks following surgery as the body disposes of the treated fat cells.

What Should I Expect After The Treatment?

Immediately after your treatment, your skin will be warm to the touch and may appear pink. The natural temperature of your skin will return shortly after your treatment. There is no downtime. You will be able to resume all normal activities immediately after your treatment.
