Endermologie is a new cellulite treatment many women are interested in since it is non invasive which means no surgery is performed. The technique is so gentle and effective, it is slowly becoming one of the most popular cellulite treatments available today. With results such as losing up to 3 inches in cellulite, it's no wonder women can't stop talking about it.
So what is Endermologie and how does it work, well, below you can find Q & A's on Endermologie so that you too can catch up on this popular cellulite treatment.
Endermologie was originally developed in the 1980's as a non-surgical method to treat scars in burn victims and these patients began to notice improvements in their cellulite and soon endermologie was considered by the FDA as the first cellulite treatment.
Endermologie is a massage machine that has two rollers that when rolled over the top layer of fat they make a fold. This folding action stretches the connective tissue that traps cellulite underneath the skin and as the skin stretches the appearance of cellulite is reduced along with inches of your cellulite and body measurements. The benefits of endermologie are increased circulation, relief of muscular pain, reduction of muscle spasms and cellulite.
Yes, Endermologie has been extensively studied and approved by the FDA to specifically make the claim that it does reduce cellulite, but, it does not permanently remove cellulite. Results can last from 6 months to about a year.
14-28 treatments are usually recommended and the treatments can be performed as often as 1-2 times a week for optimal results. Treatments can last as long as 30 minutes.
When do I see results?
Endermologie does not provide dramatic results immediately. Results are noticed usually after 6 treatments.
Absolutely, infact any cellulite cream or treatment is better than liposuction. Liposuction does not reduce cellulite but only makes it worse because liposuction removes fat from the middle layer of skin, leaving the top layer of skin still dimpled and full of cellulite. Endermologie works on the layer of top skin, breaking up the fat trapped underneath effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite.
Not at all it is as relaxing and soothing as a deep tissue massage.
Similar to a deep tissue massage you will experience an overall feeling of relation and you may also experience temporary bruising; which is a common result of deep tissue massage as well.
While there are many hand-held massagers you can use at home you may not experience the same result as an endermologie treatment because home treatments do not have the same power and capability as sophisticated endermologie machines. The results of home machines also have not been researched or tested as an effective cellulite treatment as of now.
Each endermologie center has its own way of pricing endermologie sessions and prices range from $50 to $150 per session. Some centers offer packages and discounts for multiple sessions like twenty treatments at $100 each would cost $2,000.
No, after endermologie treatments it's very important to stay away from factors which contribute to cellulite and if conditions are not changed, the cellulite will return in the state it was before. Doctors recommend patients exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet and go in for 1-2 endomologie treatments per month for the best results.
It all depends, if you're looking for dramatic results and long lasting results, endermologie is not for you. Mesotherapy is a more effective spa cellulite treatment than endermologie because results last longer, but, mesotherapy requires needle injections to specific areas in the body with cellulite. If you hate needles and look for a non-invasive spa cellulite treatment, endermologie is your best bet.
If you hate the $2,000 price tag of 20 endermologie treatments at $100 each, consider a cellulite cream. Cellulite creams are inexpensive, effective, and are in the privacy of your home.
