What is Endermologie?

That is the latest non-surgical cellulite treatment technology from France, available in South- Africa since 1998. This non- invasive system is designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin tone without pain or inconvenience.

LPG Systems describes how the technique works. Endermologie utilizes aspiration, produced by a vacuum pump, to suck the skin up between two motorized rollers into a fold or pleat. This fold is then kneaded by the two rollers attached to the treatment head. Because the suction level is electronically controlled, the rollers constantly adjust themselves to the thickness of the patient's skin.

As the treatment progress, the skin becomes more supple and elastic, causing the rollers to adapt and reach increasingly deep layers. Endermologie improves the circulation by increasing blood and oxygen flow to the suffocated cellulite tissues and thereby accelerating the drainage of the stagnant waste products of the metabolism via the lymphatic system and the fine blood capillaries. The metabolism of the fat cells is improved, encouraging them to lose some of their contents and thus shrink in size.

The dimpling effects of cellulite are caused by two factors, the swelling of the fat lobes that lie just beneath the skin, which push the skin up and the contraction of the vertical connective fibres which act as the anchor points and pull the skin down. The suction action of the massage stretches these connective strands, thus smoothing the surface of the skin. As the fibres are stretched, they are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin, which results in an improvement in skin tone and texture. During the treatments, the skin is exfoliated by the kneading action of the rollers, thus improving the appearance.

Endermologie course involves the minimum of 14 treatment sessions. One can only do 2 treatments a week with do rest days inbetween each session. Treatment duration is 45 minutes.
