Q. What is Endermologie?
A. Endermologie uses rollers to stretch the connective tissue resulting in a reduction in cellulite and body measurements. FDA approved claims include temporary reduction of cellulite, increased circulation, relief of muscular pain and spasm. The massaging unit continuously folds and releases the skin.
Q. What are the new technologies of Endermologie?
A. What’s new is combining Endermologie with Velasmooth ™ When combined with Endermologie, Velasmooth uses radiofrequency energy and infrared light to target problem fat area. Heat metabolizes hyper-inflated fat cells shrinking them giving a smoother appearance.
Lipomassage by Endermologie is a more advanced faster deeper penetrating technology.
Q. What problem areas can be effectively treated with Endermologie?
A. Endermologie is for useful cellulite on the thighs, hips and buttocks but can also help on the back, love handles and abdomen
Q. Are there any side effects of the Endermologie treatment?
A. Yes, there are side-effects but treatment is generally well tolerated. Bruising or soreness in the treated area is not uncommon. Those who are extremely sensitive to pain may find the pressure of the rollers too uncomfortable.
Q. How effective is the Endermologie treatment and how long will the results last?
A. Results are less predictable than other cosmetic treatments such as fillers like Restylane, laser hair removal or Botox. Most physicians and spas recommend their client schedule maintenance sessions to keep them looking good. These start often a month after their initial treatment schedule. Treatments are usually 30 minutes in duration.
