Losing weight can be incredibly difficult and confusing. How do you know which diet is right for you? And which exercises will slim your stomach? If you’ve tried everything under the sun when it comes to weight loss and still haven’t seen the results that you want, then it’s time to ask for a little help. Because we know how stubborn that fat around your abdomen and things can be, we offer the Vanquish ME treatment, which helps melt away fat!

Vanquish ME or CoolSculpting®?

They are both non-invasive body sculpting treatments that help reduce fat, but that’s where the similarities end.

As it name suggests, CoolSculpting® is a treatment that freezes away fat. But Vanquish ME uses a more powerful fat burner: radiofrequency. As heat energy passes through your skin, fat cells undergo apoptosis, which is just a fancy way of saying that the fat cells will die off.

Vanquish ME is also able to treat a wider area of the body than CoolSculpting®. While CoolSculpting® only focuses in on a very small areas of your body, Vanquish ME can treat your entire abdomen, your front and sides, and your thighs. Because CoolSculpting® treats small areas, the results can be uneven and lumpy. Radiofrequency gives you smooth results every time.

The Benefits of Vanquish ME

This treatment has a bunch of great benefits. For one, Vanquish ME is completely painless! It is non-surgical and non-invasive with zero downtime. Because Vanquish ME uses heat to make your fat disappear, the only thing you will feel is a nice warming sensations as if you have a heating pad laying on top of you.

Why Won’t My Fat Disappear?

Getting rid of stubborn body fat is a frustrating process, and that is one of the reasons why many people turn to professional fat reduction treatments. Your body naturally retains as much fat as possible so that you have an emergency supply of energy at all times. You could diet and exercise for years without seeing any changes in your upper arms, chest, back, or abdomen. Our fat reduction procedures quickly and gently eliminate fatty tissue by stimulating some of the natural healing processes inside your body.

Vanquish

Vanquish ME has become one of the most popular weight loss treatments on the market, and it is a great starting point for those who would like to safely melt away their fat. Like many other body contouring procedures, Vanquish ME uses waves of radiofrequency energy to break apart fat cells. Once those cells are broken into smaller components, it will be easier for your body to carry them away. Most patients need multiple Vanquish ME appointments, but the results are often breathtaking. After your Vanquish ME treatments, you won’t have to worry about any lingering discomfort or other unusual side effects.

Cellutone

This treatment was specifically designed to reduce the circumference of the waist by obliterating nearby pockets of fat. It also stimulates the dermis to minimize any skin laxity issues that you might be dealing with. Instead of relying on lasers or RF waves, Cellutone breaks apart your fatty tissue with thousands of vibrations every second. This treatment is administered with a handheld device that massages your skin and deep tissue. Cellutone is completely non-invasive, and most patients claim that they experience no unwanted side effects.

Our team at Glow Medispa is ready to help you create the body of your dreams without the unwanted side effects of CoolSculpting. In addition to these treatment options, we also offer a wide variety of spa services including facials, waxing, peels, and microdermabrasion. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

First, we should discuss what these two treatments have in common. Both Vanquish and CoolSculpting are not designed to be weight loss programs. Instead, they are designed to help people who have stubborn pockets of fat they cannot address with diet and exercise alone. These treatments are made for individuals who are close to their healthy BMI and just need a little bit of help sculpting their body as opposed to losing large amounts of fat.

Here’s where the treatments differ. CoolSculpting destroys fat cells using a process they referred to as controlled cooling. Basically, they are freezing the fat in your body and killing the fat cells. While this process sounds simple on the surface, as many individuals have found out the hard way, CoolSculpting is not as simple as the advertising would lead one to believe. Many complain of a numbed sensation after the treatment is performed. And because of the size of the applicators used, some complain of lumpy or uneven results.

On the other side of the coin, Vanquish destroys fat cells using heat. As the heat destroys the fat cells, the body’s lymphatic system kicks in and removes the dead fat cells. A nice thing about this treatment is that once the fat cells have been destroyed, they don’t grow back. This doesn’t mean that a person cannot put on weight. The remaining fat cells can swell in size if a person does not watch their diet. However, after the Vanquish treatment, the treated fat cells are gone for good.

Although CoolSculpting and Vanquish have both been approved by the FDA, FDA studies show that Vanquish destroys a higher percentage of fat cells as compared to CoolSculpting. In fact, Vanquish has been shown to destroy between 25 percent and 30 percent of the fat cells in a treated area.

Unlike CoolSculpting, which can only treat a small area, Vanquish is able to treat an area that is the size of a person’s abdomen, including the sides. This means that the end results are going to be even, and a patient is going to be able to get better results in a short amount of time.

CoolSculpting has left some individuals with nerve pain because of the freezing of the nerves. Although this freezing of the nerves and subsequent nerve pain is temporary, it is still uncomfortable.

For all their similarities, when CoolSculpting and Vanquish are compared side-by-side, most would agree that Vanquish is the clear favorite. It provides a greater amount of fat cell loss, while at the same time avoiding many of the side effects one would find with CoolSculpting.
