Can You Get Added Benefit by Repeating Your Vanquish ME Treatment?

The initial recommended treatment schedule for Vanquish ME is four, 45 minutes sessions over the course of four to six weeks. During this time, the body will begin processing and eliminating fat cells destroyed during the Vanquish ME procedure. Approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the last treatment, patients will begin to see the full extent of the results and how well the treatment has performed. For most, the several inches that they may lose on their waist and the visible reduction in tummy fat is enough to be more than happy. Some patients, however, are spurred to eliminate even more fat from their stomachs after seeing these excellent results.

The considerations of additional treatments

One of the most important considerations when discussing additional treatments is how you can ensure that it is as effective as possible and that you are not wasting your money. The bottom line is that additional treatments can be effective and can certainly be performed without any risk. However, we want you to get the very best results. Many of our patients are motivated to improve their lifestyle in the form of better diet and exercise programs once they see the great results of their first treatment. We encourage them to continue this new lifestyle and to lose some additional weight. This weight loss will allow the second Vanquish ME procedure to be as effective as possible in eliminating additional fat cells. Further, we all need some fat cells in order to have a natural looking body shape. We will discuss the aesthetic considerations of having an additional procedure with you. Usually one additional series of procedures is perfectly fine, however we do not want to take it too far.

How additional treatments work

As a prior Vanquish ME patient, you know all that there is to know. There is no special consideration or concern with having additional treatments. The only thing we ask our patients to consider is that additional treatment will often yield less dramatic results when compared to the original treatment.

Why Additional Treatments Work Well

No body contouring procedure can eliminate all the fat cells in the area being treated, nor would we want them to. Having some fat cells allows for a natural and normal looking body shape. However, when patients have a significant amount of body fat, especially in the abdominal area, we eliminate only a portion of them. However, when they are eliminated, these fat cells are gone forever, unless the patient’s lifestyle changes dramatically in the future. As a result, when we perform a follow up procedure, we are targeting fat cells that were there before, but were not destroyed.
