If you don’t want to undergo surgery to contour your body, there are various non-surgical technologies to choose from, including Vanquish and Exilis. The results from non-surgical body contouring are very nice, but may not be as dramatic as the results from surgery. Both Vanquish and Exilis are non-invasive fat removal treatments, but which is better for long term results.
Vanquish
Vanquish is a revolutionary device for fat reduction. It uses radiofrequency waves to specifically heat the fatty layers, in order to melt and disrupt the fat. The fat is then cleaned by the lymphatic system, and subsequently eliminated by the body. The RF waves are delivered via 3 adjustable panels that hover over the skin. It results in permanent fat reduction in the areas targeted.
Exilis
Exilis is another body contouring device that uses RF energy, but it is more effective on smaller deposits of fat in areas such as the neck and jowls. A hand-held applicator is used to deliver the RF energy. Exilis also tightens the skin as it reduces fat. Skin looks younger and more vibrant after treatment.
Which is better for long-term results?
It takes approximately 4-6 treatments with Exilis to achieve the desired results, and this usually lasts up to 2 years. Doctors recommend maintenance treatments every 12-18 months.
The results from Vanquish treatment are permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. However, this will change if you gain weight.
