22 MODERN AESTHETICS | MARCH/APRIL 2015 N E W P R O D U C T S VANQUISH FLEX APPLICATOR, BTL AESTHETICS

BTL Industries introduced its new Vanquish Flex applicator for use on the thighs and saddlebags. Harnessing Vanquish RF technology for the abdomen, the non-surgical Flex hovers over upper legs to deliver selective radiofrequency energy to heat the deep tissue layer. The non-contact Flex device for regaining shapely thighs became available in select countries in North and South America earlier this year following high professional success in Europe. The noninvasive thigh slimming technology creates an electromagnetic field with energy flow control to safely target and destroy fat cells, bringing about a reduction in entire upper leg circumference, including the stubborn fat deposits of the outer thigh known as saddlebags. Vanquish Flex uses a two-panel system without touching the patient directly for a safe and comfortable treatment. Full results are achieved in four to six weeks spaced about one week apart with continuous improvements seen over the next month or so. btlaesthetics.com
