A few years ago, cryotherapy and cool sculpting were all the rage. This fat reduction technique killed fat cells by freezing them. Though at the time, this was groundbreaking technology, cool sculpting does have its drawbacks. This technique can only treat small areas at time, taking up valuable time from your day. It also can be painful after treatment and can take three months to see results. Finally, this treatment is not customizable to the patient.
Vanquish, on the other hand, uses heat to kill fat cells. It targets the underlying fat to destroy the cells themselves, not just the fat inside the cell. This gives patients longer lasting results.
At Dermatology Specialists of Charlotte, we utilize Vanquish to perform fat reduction. This, as mentioned earlier, uses heat to blast away fat cells. This treatment does not require direct contact with your body, which allows for a more comfortable experience and minimal risk of side effects. Plus, the design of Vanquish allows us to treat larger areas at once, so you won’t need to come back for multiple treatment sessions, a benefit for many of our patients.
It’s not for everyone
Though fat reduction using Vanquish may sound appealing to many, it isn’t the best option for everyone. This treatment should only be used on those who have a small amount of fat to lose, not those who need to lose a large amount. If you have metal implants or are expecting, this is likely not the best option for you.
