About BTL Vanquish ME
Everyone dreams of having a tight, firm midsection, back, or thighs that they can show off at the pool or beach during the summer. Unfortunately, belly fat is one of the most stubborn fats & often takes its sweet time melting away from diet and exercise. This leaves people considering invasive procedures like liposuction or tummy tucks that may be more extreme than they need. Thankfully, there is BTL Vanquish ME for fat loss available to help those looking for a faster, simpler, and less drastic approach to Liposuction in San Francisco. When combined with diet and exercise, patients can expect to see significant improvement in just a few weeks at a fraction of the cost of other procedures.
BTL Vanquish ME is one of the many cosmetic procedures performed in San Francisco Plastic Surgeon Dr. Shahin Jahaveri’s office to slim the midsection and fix problem areas like the love handles, belly, or thighs. He is a trusted name for thighplasty, butt implants and more. Rather than opening up the skin to access the fat layer like other more invasive procedures, Vanquish ME will instead use the power of Selective RF (radiofrequency) Technology to bypass the skin. Targeted treatment areas with layers of fat are treated with thermal energy by tuning the frequency of the machine to only penetrate as deep as the subcutaneous tissue. The selective heat induces apoptosis (death) of the fat cells, reducing the waistline, and slowly melting away stubborn fat for good without harming any of the other tissue.
Why You Should Choose BTL Vanquish Over Coolsculpting
If you’re researching procedures to help you get rid of the extra fat in your midsection, you’ve probably come across Coolsculpting. Coolsculpting is another non-invasive treatment that came before BTL Vanquish ME that uses cold rather than heat to kill and remove the fat cells. Freezing the cells causes them to die, allowing them to be broken down and drained by your body in a process similar to BTL Vanquish ME’s.
However, the results can vary, and they are in the same realm of fat-reduction procedures, making it a decision between the 2 procedures for many patients. We don’t believe it is much of a decision, though! BTL Vanquish ME is comfortable and relaxing.
Difference between BTL Vanquish ME and Coolsculpting?
Both are FDA cleared for fat loss. BTL Vanquish uses heat and radio frequency, while Coolsculpting Is COLD on contact for 30 min or more PER AREA.
BTL takes less time because it surrounds the midsection – Coolsculpting can only do as much as the instrument allows for (approximately the size of a stick of butter).
BTL provides more even results in single visits because the procedure does the entire midsection at once with even strength as opposed to multiple manual treatments with Coolsculpting over multiple areas at a time.
BTL is contactless. It doesn’t touch your skin! BLT Vanquish is very comfortable and painless.
Are You a Candidate for BTL Vanquish ME?
The ideal candidate for BTL Vanquish ME is someone who is generally healthy but possesses a little extra belly fat or love handles that are not reacting to diet and exercise. They will want to slim down their waist and midsection area over time with weekly treatments rather than going through a single more costly and more invasive procedure that requires a longer recovery. Ideally, the patient would also be combining the procedure with healthy habits to keep the fat off & kickstart a healthy, motivated lifestyle. Patient must drink lots of water on the day of and days following the treatments.
Consultation
At your consultation, San Francisco Plastic Surgeon Dr. Jahaveri or RN, will review your medical history and discuss your goals for your treatment. After an examination, he will work with you to provide options for your procedure and personalize a treatment plan to best help you achieve your ideal look.
About the Treatment
BTL Vanquish ME is an entirely painless, non-invasive procedure that will not require anesthetic or surgery to complete. It will usually take 4-6 sessions of around 40 minutes to complete a treatment plan, making it incredibly quick and convenient for even active lifestyles. The only preparation recommended is to drink plenty of water to aid in the drainage of the cells & reduce swelling after the procedure.
The process of applying Selective RF Technology is simple, requiring a single machine that will be placed over the patient’s midsection as they comfortably lie down. This machine will be tuned to selectively heat the fat cells, melting them away and decreasing the circumference of the waist, belly, and thighs. During this time the patient will experience the heat of the thermal energy waves but should not experience discomfort as a result.
What to Expect After Surgery
After the BTL Vanquish ME treatment, the patient may experience some swelling, redness, or a feeling of warmth on the treated area. This will fade within an hour or so and will not inhibit movement or daily life. Afterwards, they will be able to leave immediately and continue their normal daily routine.
Your Recovery
BTL Vanquish ME is a contactless, non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime or rest for recovery like other fat removal procedures. After completing the session, patients are able to go on about their day with no restrictions and will likely feel nothing more than some residual heat from the treatment. Yes, it’s that easy!
While patients can sometimes experience a difference within the first few days after beginning treatment, most of the progress will come after 2 or more treatments. This allows proper time for the body to drain the dead cells and the skin to fit the new midsection.

Possible Complications
Due to using Selective Radiofrequency Technology as opposed to invasive methods, there is little to no risk of complications from the BTL Vanquish ME procedure. Patients may experience a feeling of residual heat in the treated area from the machine or slight swelling & redness due to the body processing & draining the area. However, this will likely fade within a few hours of treatment.
Results for each patient will vary. Please remember that the information provided will not guarantee your eligibility for BTL Vanquish ME. Consultation and medical examination must be completed before approval.
