Pender Medi Spa’s Body Contouring Q&A
We’ve all been there.
It’s the night before a big event, and after a strict diet cutting and umpteen visits to the gym, you step into the dress that you’ve been dying to wear. After a glance in the mirror, you realize it still doesn’t look right. Despite your hardest efforts, you just can’t seem to lose that last bit of stubborn fat. Before the meltdown begins, take a deep breath: thankfully, all hope is not lost.
Pender Medi Spa offers the latest in technological advances (think: CoolSculpting, Elixis Elite and Vanquish Maximum Energy) to create optimal body contouring results. Better yet, all three of these techniques have no down time, and are non-surgical and non-invasive. Unfamiliar with these sculpting treatments? No problem! We’ve devised a quick body contouring Q&A to help you with the basics:
CoolSculpting

Q: What is it?
A: The only FDA-cleared, non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to eliminate stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise.
Q: What areas does it target?
A: CoolSculpting is versatile, allowing patients to target excess fat on just about every part of the body.
Q: How does it work?
A: CoolSculpting combats stubborn fat deposits by cooling them to the point of freezing, which in turn kills the very fat cells that lead to fatty deposits in the first place. As time goes on, your body eliminates these unwanted cells on its own, allowing you to sculpt a new look.
Q: What can you tell me about the results?
A: Results from CoolSculpting typically begin to appear about 6-8 weeks after treatment and continue to improve with optimal results at 12 weeks.
Elixis Elite

Q: What is it?
A: An FDA-approved device that treats visible signs of aging, loose skin, and the appearance of cellulite.
Q: What areas does it target?
A: Similar to CoolSculpting, Elixis Elite can treat many areas including the eye area, jowls, neck, face, decollete, abdomen, bra area, arms, legs, hands, and buttocks. In fact any area on the face or body that has loose skin.
Q: How does it work?
A: Using the device, radiofrequency (RF) energy safely bypasses the skin surface, turning into heat to gently warm underlying tissue. This focused heat causes collagen fibers to constrict, resulting in tighter skin and improved contours of the face and body.
Q: What can you tell me about the results?
A: Unlike temporary skin rejuvenation treatments that wear off after a matter of months, studies show that most clients maintain their results from Exilis Elite™ for two years or more. The stimulation of new collagen in the skin continues to improve the treated areas for up to 6 months after the treatment, following a minimum of 4 treatments. Of course, a balanced diet and regular exercise help maintain the achieved results.
Vanquish Maximum Energy (ME)

Q: What is it?
A: Vanquish ME is FDA-cleared, non-invasive technology that primarily reduces excess fat around the abdomen and core area.
Q: What areas does it target?
A: Although Vanquish ME™ is ideal for slimming the waist and flattening the abdomen, it can also be used to reduce fat on the back, flanks or legs.
Q: How does it work?
A: Vanquish ME™ utilizes non-invasive RF technology to gently target fat cells without causing irritation or damage to skin or surrounding tissues. It offers the largest spot size coverage in the industry.
Q: What can you tell me about the results?
A: During treatment with the Vanquish ME™, patients achieve cumulative circumferential reduction of the waistline, creating a slimmer waistline and a flatter stomach over the course of 4 – 6 treatments with optimal results after 12 weeks.
