Bay Area patients with stubborn fat welcome safe, effective non surgical body contouring with heat
The Skin and Laser Treatment Institute offers many non-invasive and minimally-invasive procedures. These techniques get the results patients from around the globe desire, without the prolonged healing and downtime of more invasive, conventional treatments.
Vanquish is an alternative to going under the knife to get a
more sculpted you. Since fat cells are very responsive to outside
stimuli, Vanquish uses heat delivered in a controlled and precise manner
to safely contour stubborn areas of fat, such as the thighs, abdomen,
sides, butt, back, upper knees, and the back of the arms.
The heating power comes from radiofrequency (RF) energy. Dr.
Lee will skillfully apply RF energy via a multi-paneled applicator. The
device is designed to deliver powerful heat without ever touching
delicate tissues. This feature minimizes discomfort during the procedure
and unwanted side effects and complications post-procedure.
Treatments that use RF energy are designed not only for
maximum comfort and optimal patient experience, but also to target areas
of the body that may not be fatty at all. While fat cells respond to
RF-derived heat by gradually dissolving in the months following
treatment, selective heating with Vanquish also stimulates the
production of collagen. Your body produces less collagen over time.
Since Vanquish can both destroy fat and tighten skin, it is effective on
areas of the body that have lost laxity, are saggy, and not necessarily
fatty, such as the back of the arms.
Also, since Vanquish stimulates the process of destroying
and removing fat cells from the body safely, you will never have to
worry about fat developing in the treated area. Traditional weight loss
via diet and exercise can shrink fat cells, but not destroy them.
Vanquish may be a suitable treatment for those who have lost
weight with diet and exercise but have stubborn areas that have not
responded. Dr. Lee will determine if this type of non-surgical body
contouring is right for you after a consultation at her new, Bay Area
office in Walnut Creek. You may be a candidate for Vanquish should you
have stubborn pockets, but are or close to an ideal weight range.
Vanquish is also an attractive option for those patients who want to
avoid the anesthesia, medication, preparation, and downtime related to
more invasive, surgical body contouring.
