Non-Surgical Fat Reduction: Vanquish ME™ vs. CoolSculpting®

A woman posing in white underwear showing the results of Vanquish ME body sculpting Are you struggling with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise? Non-surgical fat reduction treatments like Vanquish ME™ and CoolSculpting® are effective, FDA-approved solutions.

Old Town Med Spa offers both therapies. Our practice is directed by Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi, who are board-certified in Aesthetic Medicine.

Vanquish ME and CoolSculpting can help you achieve a more sculpted look without surgery. However, they work in different ways. This blog compares the two options so you can make an informed choice.

Vanquish ME: How It Works

Vanquish ME uses advanced radiofrequency energy to gently heat and eliminate fat cells. The treatment is contactless. Your provider will hover the device over the targeted area without direct skin contact. This technology is ideal for treating larger areas like the abdomen, thighs, and flanks.

Key benefits of Vanquish ME include:

  • It’s comfortable and contactless 
  • It treats large areas efficiently
  • There is no downtime, so you can resume daily activities right away

Over time, the body eliminates the heated fat cells. The end result will be a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

CoolSculpting: How It Works

CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis, a process that freezes fat cells to break them down. Your provider places applicators directly on the skin and targets specific pockets of fat, such as love handles, the chin, and the upper arms.

Some of the greatest benefits of CoolSculpting include:

  • It’s more precise and better for smaller, stubborn fat pockets
  • It’s non-invasive with no downtime
  • It offers clinically proven results

As with Vanquish ME, the body eliminates the damaged fat cells. This leads to noticeable improvements over several weeks.

Which Is Right for You?

Both Vanquish ME and CoolSculpting deliver excellent fat reduction results. The choice between the two depends on your goals and the areas you want to treat.

Vanquish ME is ideal for larger areas and those who prefer not to make direct contact with the treatment device. CoolSculpting is better suited for targeting smaller, defined fat pockets. It’s also better for those who don’t mind exposure to cold temperatures.
