Vanquish is a non-invasive body treatment that reduces localised fat using selective radiofrequency. No contact, no recovery time. Available in El Albir.
Vanquish is a medical radiofrequency device that generates heat selectively in the fatty tissue, causing the natural destruction of fat cells without affecting the skin or surrounding tissues. Unlike other treatments, the applicator does not need to touch the body, which makes it a very comfortable and well-tolerated option.
It is indicated for reducing localised fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs and inner thighs. It is not a weight-loss treatment, but a way to shape and define the body contour in patients whose weight is stable.
Vanquish is one of the body aesthetic medicine treatments at Alta Armonía in El Albir and one of the technologies used in fat-reducing and anti-cellulite treatments when the dominant factor is localised fat. If what predominates is fluid retention, the work goes through pressotherapy y manual lymphatic drainage; if it is laxity, through Exilis. The indication is established at the first consultation.
1. Assessment. We confirm that what is there is localised fat and not retention or laxity, because Vanquish works on the first of these. We also check that there are no contraindications.
2. Positioning the panel. The applicator is placed over the area without touching the skin. There is no pressure and no friction, and no gel or manipulation is needed.
3. The session. The sensation is of even, constant warmth across the whole area. Most patients describe it as comfortable; you can read or use your phone during the treatment.
4. At the end. There is no recovery time: you can return to normal activity the same day. We recommend drinking water.
The result is progressive and builds over the course of the protocol, which is set at the first consultation.
Vanquish is designed for large areas: the abdomen, flanks and front of the thighs. That is its advantage over techniques that work point by point, and also its limit: it is not the tool for a very small, localised deposit.
And one expectation worth placing properly: it is not a weight-loss treatment. It works on localised fat that does not respond to diet or exercise, not on body weight, and it does not replace healthy habits. Results depend on each patient and cannot be guaranteed.
When there is also a loss of firmness alongside the fat, it is usually combined with Exilis; if what accompanies it is retention, with pressotherapy. That combination is set out within the plan of fat-reducing and anti-cellulite treatments.
The treatment is carried out at our medical aesthetic centre in El Albir, at Av. de l’Albir 155.
We cover it at more length on the blog: why localised fat appears and what the options are.
The Vanquish applicator works at a distance, without touching the skin. It is a well-tolerated treatment: with no pressure and no friction, the session is comfortable for the patient.
It requires no recovery period. You can return to your normal activity the same day as the treatment, with no restrictions.
The elimination of fat cells is gradual and progressive, so results appear naturally over the weeks following the course of treatment.
Every treatment at Alta Armonía is carried out under the supervision of qualified healthcare staff, with a prior assessment of the patient to confirm that Vanquish is the most suitable option.
A prior medical assessment is always carried out to confirm that the treatment is appropriate in each case.
The number of sessions varies with the area to be treated and each patient’s objective. Usually between 4 and 6 sessions are recommended, roughly once a week. After the initial assessment a personalised protocol is designed.
Any discomfort is minimal. During the session you feel warmth in the treated area, which most patients tolerate well. No anaesthetic is needed.
Results are progressive. The first improvements in contour are seen from 2 to 3 weeks into the course of treatment, and continue to develop over several more weeks.
No. Vanquish is designed to reduce localised fat and improve the body contour, not to lose weight. It is indicated for people whose weight is stable and who want to work on specific areas.
The panel works at a distance, without touching the skin. It is one of the reasons it is comfortable and why it leaves no marks and requires no recovery.
In its aim. Vanquish focuses on reducing localised fat over large areas; Exilis adds collagen stimulation to that, so it also provides firmness. When fat and laxity coexist, they are usually planned together.
It is designed for large areas such as the abdomen, flanks and thighs. For small or very localised deposits there are more suitable techniques, and which one is appropriate is determined at the assessment.
At Alta Armonía Medical and Aesthetic Centre we carry out a personalised medical consultation before any treatment. We are in El Albir (Alfàs del Pi), and we also see patients from Altea, Benidorm, Calpe and the Marina Baixa.
