What
is Endermology? Endermology
is a non-invasive form of lipo-suction which reduces the appearance of cellulite
and makes the skin more smooth and supple. The technique was developed by a French
scientist named Louis Paul Guitay (LPG). It involves a specially designed device
that promotes deep, penetrating whole body massage with the use of suction and
rollers to stimulate the breakdown of stored fat and increase the body’s
circulation.
What
is Cellulite? Cellulite
is seen as a change in the surface texture of the skin. It is caused by enlarged
and overabundant fat cells stored in the subcutaneous tissue, as well as altered
connective tissue structures and circulation. Time, age, heredity, hormones, poor
diet and exercise are among the major causes of cellulite development.
How
does Endermology work? The
three main elements of Endermology consists of a rolling process, suctioning and
improved body circulation. The massaging actions of the rollers over the skin
results in the breakdown of underlying cellulite. Suctioning stretches the surrounding
connective tissues restoring them to a longer, more original size. Both of these
elements stimulate the body's circulation which helps remove the freed fat from
the area . Drinking at least 2 liters of water a day will help the circulation
system maintain the process of elimination. Multiple treatments have been shown
to reduce the site and density of fat stores allowing the connective tissue to
elongate, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Can
just one area be treated? A
particularly problematic area may be given special attention. However, all areas
must be treated in order to improve circulation and facilitate elimination.
How
is the treatment performed? The
patient is situated comfortably in a private room. As the procedure is performed
the technician methodically carries out the LPG full body massage The patient
wears his/her own body stocking which allows the rollers to move smoothly over
the skin surface and ensures adequate hygiene.
Is
it painful? The
procedure itself is actually quite relaxing. The level of treatment is individually
determined by the patient’s comfort level.
Are
there dietary restrictions? There
are no dietary restrictions. However, you should maintain a healthy diet and exercise
regimen. Drinking at least 2 liters of water per day is essential.
How
many treatments are needed? Fourteen
(14) sessions are usually prescribed each session is approx. 35 minutes long.
At the recommended 2 treatments per week, total scheduling takes seven (7) weeks.
Exceeding the recommended 2 sessions per week will not give faster results. It
should be noted that for patients engaged in a significant weight loss program
or with long term cellulite, only one session per week is advised. Further sessions
may be necessary and desired for the continued improvement.
