Endermologie FAQs
WHAT IS ENDERMOLOGIE?
Endermologie is a cellulite treatment utilizing a machine with 2 rollers and a gentle suction action that when rolled over the top layer of fat makes a fold. This folding action stretches the connective tissue and results in the reduction of cellulite and body measurements. The fda has approved endermologie claims involved in the reduction of cellulite, reduction of muscular pain, and reduction of muscle spasms. It was developed in the 1980’s as a non-surgical method to treat the scars of burn victims, who began to notice improvements in their cellulite as well. From that point forward the many benefits of endermologie began to be recognized.
HOW MANY ENDERMOLOGIE TREATMENTS ARE NECESSARY?
Usually 14-28 initial treatments, 1-2 times a week, are necessary to achieve the optimal results, with a monthly visit thereafter for maintenance. Treatments are usually thirty minutes in duration, and the entire body will be treated. In addition to the targeted areas, your endermologie treatments will help increase lymphatic flow and help promote better circulation throughout your entire body.
WHEN WILL I BEGIN TO SEE RESULTS?
Approximately 6 treatments will be necessary to begin seeing results from having endermologie performed on your body. With cellulite reduction through endermologie, you will dramatically observe the reduction of your appearance of cellulite as your number of treatments increases.
DOES ENDERMOLOGIE REDUCE CELLULITE?
Yes. Endermologie has been extensively studied and received approval by the fda to specifically make the claim that is does reduce cellulite.
IS THE ENDERMOLOGIE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
The majority of patients compare the endermologie treatments to receiving a very deep massage and find the treatment to be very relaxing. The intensity of the rolling action can be adjusted to your personal comfort level.
DOES ENDERMOLOGIE REPLACE THE NEED FOR LIPOSUCTION?
While liposuction does not reduce the appearance of cellulite, the converse is true for endermologie. Liposuction can actually leave loose skin which will increase the appearance of cellulite. Liposuction mainly attacks the middle layer of fat, sucking out fat cells but leaving the top layer of skin still dimpled and full of cellulite. In contrast, endermologie will directly attack the dimpled top layer of skin, breaking up the congested lymphatic flow which promotes the appearance of cellulite.
HOW DOES ENDERMOLOGIE DIFFER FROM LIPOSUCTION?
The main difference between endermologie and liposuction is that endermologie does not involve any physically invasive techniques. For this reason, many individuals choose to see the level of results attained from receiving endermologie prior to committing themselves to the surgical alternative of liposuction.
CAN I STOP EXERCISING ONCE I UNDERGO ENDERMOLOGIE?
A healthy lifestyle, including exercise, will be recommended regardless if you undertake endermologie or liposuction treatments to help attain and maintain better results.
CAN MEN BENEFIT FROM ENDERMOLOGIE TECHNOLOGY?
Yes, men and women show equally amazing results from the treatment. For men, the trouble areas of love handles and loose pectoral tissue can achieve a positive result once treatment begins.
WHAT STEPS WILL I HAVE TO UNDERTAKE BEFORE HAVING ENDERMOLOGIE PERFORMED?
You should drink at least 8 cups of water prior to the treatment and continue to hydrate your body properly during the course of treatment. Drinking a sufficient amount of water will help the treatment eliminate the waste from your body and encourage the necessary stimulation of your lymphatic system to reduce the amount of cellulite apparent in your body.
CAN I ACHIEVE THESE RESULTS ON MY OWN?
Although relatively inexpensive, home-based machines do not all achieve the same results as a clinically-supervised treatment. Home treatments are not fda approved and lack the scientific research to prove their unfounded claims. Compare home devices to vacuums: a small hand-held device is not as effective as a large commercial device.
