“New Year, New You” is usually the motto of many during this time of year. After weeks of parties with delicious food and festive cocktails, many people are now trying to get back on track with diet and exercise. However, some still find it difficult to lose those extra inches brought on by the holiday season even with a healthy lifestyle. If you are one of those people, we want to introduce you to a safe, no-downtime alternative for body contouring called Vanquish.

Vanquish is a revolutionary, non-invasive system designed to deliver energy to the body to eliminate fat cells. Vanquish is a pain-free treatment that has been clinically tested on the abdomen and love handles and proven to be safe and effective. The Vanquish device eliminates fat without even touching the body. It selectively delivers the energy to the fat with virtually no risk of overheating of the skin, muscles or internal organs.

Vanquish treatments are effective without a strict diet or exercise regimen as long as current weight is maintained. Many patients decide to live a healthier lifestyle in order to improve the results they received from the treatments.  The only thing required to prepare your body is proper hydration.  Our patients are instructed to drink plenty of water the day before, the day of and the day after treatment.  This will help rid the body of excess fluid and toxins and aid in metabolic processes.

For optimal results, Dr. Lupo and her patients find it best to receive four 30-minute treatments that are typically scheduled one week apart. While some patients may experience mild redness and warmth after a treatment, these side effects last only minutes to hours and have no effect on daily life.  Improvement to the body may be seen days after the first treatment, but greater results are seen two weeks after the final treatment and continued improvement increased as the body rids itself of fat cells.

If you have troublesome areas on your body that aren’t corrected by diet and exercise, now many be the time to talk to our doctors to see if Vanquish or any of our other body contouring devices are right for you.  To schedule a consultation, call 504-288-2381.
