It’s a classic case of real vs ideal. After countless hours of cardio and restrictive diet plans, there comes a point where aging, genetics, and other factors are going to keep you from achieving your body sculpting dreams. But thankfully, this is exactly where revolutionary fat reduction procedures like body shaping treatments, EvolveX, and Vanquish come in.
At Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery and Longevity Center, we prioritize personalized treatment plans over cookie-cutter solutions. When it comes to non-surgical fat reduction treatments, this means working with you to visualize and achieve the change you’re looking for with a targeted and efficient approach. Curious what these treatments are all about, and whether or not they may be right for you? Read on for a complete, beginner-friendly guide to body shaping treatments, EvolveX, and Vanquish.
Introducing Body Shaping, EvolveX, and Vanquish Me Body Sculpting Treatments
Our team at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery and Longevity Center offers a wide range of fat loss treatments to help a variety of patients find an approach that works for them. These treatments use radiofrequency energy, electrical muscle stimulation, and other non-surgical methods to attack stubborn fat deposits and enhance tone throughout the body. First, let’s start the tour with our suite of body shaping treatments.
What Are Body Shaping Treatments?
Body shaping is an umbrella term that refers to any treatment that contours the body while targeting common signs of aging. We are strong proponents of radiofrequency energy in this case, as it leverages the body’s natural healing processes to produce dramatic, yet very natural-looking results.
We offer the following body shaping treatments:
- EndyMed
- JuVaShape
- Venus Freeze
All of our treatments use evidence-supported techniques to safely and effectively eliminate fat cells, tighten skin, reduce uneven skin texture, and more. Read on to learn more about each of our body shaping treatments, including what they treat and who they are for.
EndyMed
Backed by more than 40 peer-reviewed clinical studies, the technology behind EndyMedTM has proven itself capable of delivering real results in real-life scenarios. This platform uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissues deep beneath the most superficial skin layer. This powerful, yet carefully controlled heating effect stimulates the production of collagen, a key structural protein that gives skin its volume and elasticity. EndyMedTM treatment is administered using one or more handpieces, and in addition to body contouring and skin tightening, it can also be used to minimize acne scars on both face and body. There is very little downtime with EndyMedTM treatment, thanks to its minimally invasive nature (only topical anesthesia is used as necessary).
JuVaShape
Especially effective for treating cellulite and other instances of rough or uneven skin texture, JuVaShapeTM harnesses both radiofrequency and ultrasound energy to deliver these benefits. In addition to the above-mentioned benefits of radiofrequency energy (collagen-boosting properties, skin tightening, etc.), the addition of ultrasound energy is important for targeting and breaking down fat cells. Like EndyMedTM, JuVaShapeTM is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that requires very little downtime. This treatment is a preferred choice by those looking to treat both stubborn fat deposits and skin texture problems.
Venus Freeze
Finally, Venus FreezeTM uses both radiofrequency energy and pulsed magnetic fields to evenly and effectively heat the targeted tissue while minimizing the risk of burns as much as possible. When attacking cellulite, Venus FreezeTM uses magnetic pulses to isolate and break down the fat cells and fibrous connective bands causing the issue, all while promoting collagen reformation. It’s one of the most innovative and highly effective body shaping treatments on the market, and all without requiring extensive downtime or post-treatment restrictions.
Am I a Good Candidate for Body Shaping Treatments?
Thanks to their versatile and minimally invasive nature, our body shaping treatments are effective for people of virtually all skin tones and types. As long as you are in reasonably good health, and present to treatment with one or more of the issues addressed by these fat reduction treatments, you may be a good candidate. As always, consulting with our team is the most important step in determining your eligibility for one or more body shaping treatments.
What Is EvolveX?
A comprehensive 4-in-1 treatment platform that addresses a wide range of concerns throughout the body, EvolveXTM is by far one of the most innovative treatment platforms in the body shaping (and beyond) department. The four technologies included with EvolveXTM are called Tite, Tone, Transform, and Trim.
- Tite: As the name implies, this treatment is aimed at reducing fat and tightening skin, which is a key combination for those aiming for natural contouring results. Tite uses bipolar radiofrequency energy to heat underlying tissues, melting fat and stimulating skin tightening and other healing processes.
- Tone: This method uses electrical energy to stimulate your muscle tissue. By stimulating a series of controlled, yet powerful muscle contractions, tone does just what it promises: it enhances muscle definition while burning fat. One reason electrical stimulation is so effective involves its ability to elicit contractions stronger than that which your brain would trigger on its own. While you sit and relax, the treatment trains the muscles of your abdomen, buttocks, or both for greater definition.
- Transform: Next, Transform is focused on delivering next-level contouring results by combining electrical muscle stimulation with radiofrequency energy. While the radiofrequency energy works to reveal the muscle underneath by attacking fat cells and tightening skin, the electrical muscle stimulation ensures that the underlying muscle is beautifully well-defined.
- Trim: Finally, Trim goes directly after cellulite with radiofrequency energy and vacuum technology. As the radiofrequency energy breaks down stubborn fat and fibrous tissue, the vacuum technology helps to contour the surface of the skin for powerful results. There are six hands-free applicators available to use, allowing you to target cellulite in multiple areas throughout the lower extremities and abdomen.
Am I a Good Candidate for EvolveX?
Because EvolveX can treat so many different body-contouring-related issues with one platform, most people in reasonably good health are eligible for treatment. The key disclaimer here is that EvolveXTM and other fat loss treatment platforms are not intended for dramatic weight loss, nor can they replace general wellness practices like healthy dieting and exercise. In other words, it’s best to think of EvolveXTM as that final push towards the goal, supplementing your own weight loss efforts. To learn more about EvolveXTM, including whether or not you’re a candidate, our team at Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery and Longevity Center is here to help. Contact us for a consultation today.
What Is Vanquish Me?
Vanquish MeTM is a highly innovative radiofrequency fat reduction platform that is the first of its kind in several categories, including being the first non-contact body contouring treatment that is scientifically proven to induce apoptosis in fatty tissue.
Rewinding for a moment to detangle the jargon, apoptosis is a term that refers to the “pre-programmed death” of a cell. Inducing apoptosis in fatty tissue, then, means ushering fat cells along their life cycle more rapidly, allowing them to be then processed out by the body. Vanquish MeTM is particularly innovative for its ability to selectively heat up only fat cells, leaving all surrounding tissues completely undisturbed. As mentioned, this is administered on a non-contact basis; the device does not actually touch the surface of the skin during the procedure. The applicator is a half-moon shaped module that approaches the surface of the skin, but is able to selectively heat the underlying fatty tissue without touching the skin.
Vanquish MeTM is a highly effective option for people looking to remove stubborn pockets of fat around the abdomen and/or thighs. Most patients liken the sensation to a hot stone massage. Vanquish MeTM requires virtually no downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your normal activities after treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for Vanquish Me?
Like the above body contouring treatment, Vanquish MeTM is best suited for patients who are in reasonably good shape (and overall health). This treatment is best used as a means for building upon your hard-earned weight loss results, adding that final touch aesthetically speaking and helping you to break through plateaus. In a one-on-one consultation with our team, you will have a clearer picture as to whether or not Vanquish MeTM is an ideal treatment for you.
Protect Your Results With These Pre- and Post-Treatment Tips
Though the above body contouring treatments share some overlap when it comes to the general approach, concerns addressed, and other factors, each still comes with its own unique set of pre- and post-treatment guidelines. Moreover, factors unique to your situation (i.e., your age, overall health, presentation, goals, etc.) can also affect pre- and post-treatment care.
That said, there are several more general tips we can provide here to give you a more basic understanding of the long-term picture as it concerns protecting and enhancing your results. Keep in mind that your provider’s input is always top priority.
Body Sculpting Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Hydration: Staying adequately and consistently hydrated prior to your body contouring treatment will better enable your lymphatic system to flush out dead skin cells and other debris.
- Skin protection: Always limit sun exposure in the several days (ideally, several weeks) prior to your upcoming body contouring treatment.
- Preparing the treatment area: If applicable, shave the treatment area prior to treatment so that the handpiece or other implement can have optimal contact with your skin.
- Follow all specific instructions: Depending on the treatment, the provider, and other factors, you may be asked to cease smoking, using certain medications or products, and so on. Make sure to follow all guidelines as provided.
Body Sculpting Post-Treatment Guidelines
- Stay rested: Even with minimally invasive body contouring procedures, the body still needs extra energy to manage key healing processes and respond to treatment.
- Hydration (again): Both for body contouring treatments and for overall health, there is simply no overstating the importance of hydration. This will allow your body to rid itself of dead fat cells more efficiently, not to mention collagen remodeling and other key processes.
- Monitor and protect the skin: Whether or not you experience any tenderness or sensitivity around the treatment area, it’s important to keep the skin moisturized and protected. This includes limiting sun exposure and avoiding any high-risk activities that may involve the skin being bumped or brushed against.
- Follow all specific instructions: Your provider will provide you with detailed instructions unique to your situation. Make sure to follow all guidelines to maximize results and recover safely.
With proper prep and aftercare, including keeping up with a healthy diet and exercise routine consistently, body sculpting treatments can create truly lasting results.
