Endermologie

Description:
Approved by the FDA as a cellulite removal treatment, Endermologie is one of the simplest and most affordable procedures available for breaking down the connective tissues in fat cells. Because Endermologie is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment, multiple sessions will be needed to get the best results, but the treatment is a decent alternative to more advanced cellulite removal treatments like VelaSmooth™ and the injectables Mesotherapy and LipoDissolve. Some studies indicate the Endermologie may also have positive effects in the areas of skin tightening and body shaping, as well.

The Procedure:
Endermologie treatments utilize dual action massaging rollers and suction to manipulate dermal tissue and smooth away the appearance of cellulite. The treatment itself generally has the feel of a very deep tissue massage, with many patients even finding the procedure relaxing.

Time Required:
An average Endermologie treatment lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Patients may need to return for 12 or more visits over the course of 6-8 weeks to get the best, long-lasting results.

In/Out Patient:
Outpatient

Side Effects / Risks:
Virtually risk free and painless, Endermologie patients sometimes feel a little sore after a treatment, but any such condition would be temporary.

Duration of Results:
Once you've completed a full series of treatments, Endermologie results can persist for a year or longer, with the longest results coming for those who live a healthy, active lifestyle.

Recovery Time:
No down time needed.

Insurance:
Insurance will not cover a cosmetic procedure such as Endermologie.

Level of Discomfort:
Practically painless, Endermologie is among the easiest of all cellulite treatments.
