There are some things you can do before these fat reduction treatments to condition the body for optimal results. Because we want to ease into the metabolic breakdown of fat cells, you’ll want to minimize your consumption of diuretics. We recommend reducing any caffeine consumption including coffee, sodas, and teas for at least 24 hours before your treatment. Patients are also encouraged to remain hydrated before fat reduction, since lubricating the body will help with the smooth progression of fat breakdown and tissue tightening (a bonus with radiofrequency treatments).
While many other devices require suctioning of the skin and additional layers of protection from tissue manipulation methods, the BTL Vanquish ME never comes into contact with your skin. The advanced design of the device allows for the paneled applicator to hover several inches above the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy to a larger treatment area. This BTL device sends heat through the epidermis without distributing heat to any other layer besides those containing fat cells.
Research has found that the cell membrane will disintegrate at a temperature of 40 to 45-degrees Celsius. Therefore, this is the target temperature of the radiofrequency energy delivered by the BTL Vanquish ME system. Once these stubborn fat cells undergo a consistent delivery of heat at this level, the cells are tagged within the body for disintegration.
Once the cell membranes are removed, the contents of the fat cells move into the extracellular matrix, and proteins pick up these free-floating components to transport them through your system for recycling and excretion. The lymphatic system carries the fat through the liver and kidneys to naturally expel unnecessary molecules through urine and excrement.
Clinical studies of the BTL Vanquish ME device have shown that for most patients, anywhere between four to six treatment sessions are needed to successfully break down fatty tissue. Dr. Rasi will discuss the process with you, and let you know how many sessions you will need for optimal results. Typically, treatments are scheduled one week apart, and we offer package pricing if you schedule multiple sessions in advance.
Treatment duration depends on the area you decide to treat with BTL Vanquish ME – abdominal treatments take 30 to 40 minutes, and thighs take 40 minutes to an hour to treat. Dr. Rasi will estimate treatment times for you during your consultation.
Eight to twelve weeks is the average amount of time before you will see noticeable fat reduction post-treatment , though some patients can start to see slimming of the waistline and thighs in as little as two weeks. Dr. Rasi will further explain the expected results with your during your consultation and as you progress through these sessions.
