Non-contact RF body contouring that selectively heats and reduces fat cells.
Vanquish is a non-contact radiofrequency body contouring treatment that selectively heats and destroys fat cells to reduce inches around the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms. Sessions are comfortable, require no downtime, and are typically performed as a short series.
Drink several glasses of water in the hours before each session — hydration noticeably improves outcomes.
The applicator hovers above the body without contact. Tuned RF energy heats the fat layer to apoptotic levels while protecting skin and muscle.
Damaged fat cells are absorbed by the body over the weeks following the series. Visible inch loss develops progressively over 4 to 8 weeks.
Vanquish is priced by area and by package. Five sessions are recommended for the abdomen, back, and love handles. Six sessions are recommended for the arms or thighs. Sessions are typically performed once or twice weekly for optimal results.
Most patients can expect an average reduction of 1 to 3 inches around the waist and abdomen, and 1 to 2 inches around each thigh, over the weeks following completion. Hydration before each session noticeably improves outcomes — we recommend several glasses of water before treatment.
Both permanently reduce fat. CoolSculpting uses cold suction applied directly to the skin and treats discrete pinchable areas. Vanquish uses no-contact RF heat that treats large continuous areas (full abdomen, full flanks, full thigh) per session, often producing more uniform inch loss across larger zones.
No. Most patients describe the sensation as comparable to a warm heating pad. There’s no skin contact and no discomfort during or after treatment.
5 sessions are recommended for abdomen, back, or love handles. 6 sessions for arms or thighs. Sessions are typically performed once or twice weekly for optimal results.
Inch loss develops progressively over 4 to 8 weeks following completion. Most patients see meaningful reduction around 6 to 8 weeks post-series.
Yes. The destroyed fat cells are permanently removed by the body. Significant weight gain after treatment can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, so maintaining a stable weight preserves results.
Yes. Pairing Vanquish with a skin-tightening device (Sciton ST or Sofwave) addresses both fat reduction and the skin laxity that sometimes accompanies it. Your dermatologist can plan combination treatments.
Adults at or near a stable weight who want to reduce inches in a large area without surgery. Vanquish is not a weight-loss treatment — it works best for body contouring on people who are already close to their goal weight.
