Getting rid of stubborn fat was frustrating enough the first time around — you don’t want to lose the progress you’ve made after treatment. If you’ve recently completed 

´¡³ÙÌýOld Town Med Spa in Chicago, patients often ask what they can do to protect their investment and preserve their Vanquish ME results. With advanced training in radiofrequency technologies and years of experience in full face and body contouring, the MD Brothers — Drs. Nael and Shazel Gharbi — guide patients through both treatment and long-term maintenance.

In this blog, you’ll learn what happens to fat cells after Vanquish ME, the impact of certain lifestyle choices, and practical steps to help you continue looking your best.

What Happens After Vanquish ME?

Vanquish ME uses radiofrequency energy to heat and destroy fat cells. Once those fat cells are eliminated, your body gradually processes and removes them through its inherent metabolic pathways.

That said, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. That’s why maintenance matters.

Avoid Significant Weight Gain

The most important factor in preserving your Vanquish ME results is keeping your weight consistent.

Focus on:

• Balanced meals with lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains
• Limiting highly processed and sugary foods
• Staying hydrated throughout the day

Remember that even modest weight gain can affect your contour. Maintaining a stable weight helps protect the fat reduction you’ve achieved.

Stay Physically Active

Exercise supports both metabolism and overall body composition. The  recommends at least:

• 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week
• Strength training twice weekly

Strength training is especially beneficial. Building muscle can improve tone in treated areas like the abdomen and flanks, enhancing your overall shape.

Consider Follow-Up Sessions

Some patients choose periodic maintenance treatments to refine or preserve results. While not always necessary, occasional follow-ups can address small changes over time.

Support Your Lymphatic System

After Vanquish ME, your body clears damaged fat cells naturally. You can support this by:

• Drinking plenty of water
• Staying active
• Avoiding prolonged inactivity

These simple habits ensure your body functions at its best.

Are you struggling with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise? Non-surgical fat reduction treatments like 

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 

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.
