No matter how committed you are to diet and exercise, certain areas of stubborn fat can be frustratingly resistant. If you’re close to your goal but want a more sculpted look, Vanquish ME™ at Old Town Med Spa may be the answer.
Led by the highly trained MD Brothers, our Chicago team combines advanced radiofrequency technology with experienced medical oversight to help refine trouble spots in both women and men. This non-surgical treatment targets unwanted fat in a brief series of quick, comfortable sessions.
What Is Vanquish ME?
Vanquish ME is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin above 104 degrees and destroy unwanted fat cells. The device hovers above the skin, targeting larger areas like the abdomen and flanks without contact. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.
Problem Areas Vanquish ME Treats
Vanquish ME treats the largest area at one time of any device currently available. Whittle your waist and eliminate love handles in one session. You can also reduce the muffin top area of the back and hips, upper back fat, and the outer thighs.
Vanquish ME Candidates
Vanquish ME is safe for healthy patients who want to take control of their core and address problem areas when exercise and diet have failed. This is an option for those who desire aesthetic improvement without the cost and recovery time of surgery.
Vanquish ME is not appropriate for patients who have metal implants, are pregnant or nursing, or have certain other medical conditions. Give your provider your complete medical history to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
Preparing for Vanquish ME
No special prep is needed. The non-surgical treatment requires no anesthesia and no recovery period. You’re free to return to your usual routine as soon as the session is finished. To improve results, patients are encouraged to stay well hydrated on the day of and the day after treatment and to take a walk or engage in other light exercise.
Vanquish ME Results
After your Vanquish ME treatment program is complete, your body will naturally flush the fat cells that have been destroyed. These cells are gone forever. That said, it's possible that your body contours will change in the future if you gain more than 10 to 15 pounds. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can help you avoid significant weight gain.

Vanquish Success Stories
Vanquish ME vs. CoolSculpting®
We're proud to offer Vanquish ME, CoolSculpting, and other body contouring treatments at Old Town Med Spa!
According to studies, Vaquish and CoolSculpting are similarly effective at reducing unwanted fat. Each session of either modality can destroy about 25 percent of the targeted fat.
One of the primary differences between the two lies in the applicator that delivers energy. CoolSculpting delivers freezing, fat-destroying temperatures through a relatively small applicator placed over a pinchable area of fat. Vanquish ME delivers radiofrequency energy that destroys fat cells via heat using a "hovering" applicator positioned over the target area.

Most patients see the best results from a series of four to six Vanquish ME treatments spaced about one week apart. The specific number depends on your starting point, treatment area, and body contouring goals. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate the thickness of the targeted fat and recommend a personalized plan. Some individuals choose maintenance sessions months later to further refine their results or maintain their new shape.
A typical Vanquish ME session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, though duration varies based on the size of the area being treated. The abdomen and flanks can often be addressed in a single visit thanks to the device’s large treatment panel. Because the applicator hovers above the skin without direct contact, setup is simple, and there is no recovery time afterward, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Some patients notice subtle contour changes within a few weeks of their first session. However, the most visible improvements typically appear about four to six weeks after completing the full treatment series. This timeline allows your body to gradually eliminate the treated fat cells through natural metabolic processes. Results continue to improve over time as the body processes and clears the destroyed fat.
Vanquish ME is typically recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) under 30, although this can vary. The treatment is most effective for individuals with pinchable or measurable areas of excess fat rather than significant overall weight concerns. During your initial consultation, your provider will assess your BMI, body composition, and goals to determine whether Vanquish ME is the most appropriate option for you.
During treatment, most patients report a warm sensation in the target area, similar to lying under a heating pad. The applicator hovers just above the skin, so there is no suction, pulling, or direct contact. The temperature gradually increases as the radiofrequency energy targets fat cells, but the experience is generally comfortable. Afterward, the treated area may feel warm briefly, but normal activities can resume immediately.
