Fat Reduction Solution, Vanquish, Now Available at San Diego Plastic Surgery Practice
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- Vanquish, a non-invasive fat reduction solution by BTL Aesthetics, was introduced at the American Academy of Dermatology in March 2013 and will be available in limited release to select aesthetic practices across the United States. Moradi M.D. will be the first practice in San Diego County to offer this exciting new device based on proven radio frequency technology.
“We are fortunate to be able to offer Vanquish to our San Diego patients. While we have had great success with other modalities, such as Coolsculpting (Zeltiq) and Exilis ELITE (BTL Aesthetics) Vanquish is the next level in body contouring. It is a fast, safe and effective way to treat an entire field without downtime,” said Amir Moradi, M.D.
With Vanquish, a radio frequency panel is placed over the abdomen or flank area for approximately 30 minutes. While the radio frequency emitted from the panel heats the surface skin to about 40˚C, the underlying adipose (fat) cells can reach temperatures up to 43-45˚C. This intense heat causes apoptosis (cellular death) of the fat cells. The body then utilizes these fat cells for other functions, such as energy or creating muscle. Any unused cells are excreted from the body through normal body functions. A series of four treatments must be performed for maximum benefit and results can take 2 to 3 months to become evident.
What sets this technology apart from other non-invasive devices is the fact that an entire area can be treated in a very short period of time and without discomfort.
Vanquish is FDA cleared for deep tissue heating, and it is used off-label for fat reduction.
“Vanquish will not replace current modalities, such as CoolSculpting or Exilis. It offers a favorable option in treating patients with a different type of fat distribution,” Dr. Moradi mentions. “Aesthetic Medicine is not a cookie cutter industry. Patients need more than one option as well as professional advice in making the correct choice.”
