Endermologie

Process

The treatment is applied to areas with cellulite and localized fat. This special device creates controlled pressure at the specific areas, creating symmetrical skin folds on the surface area with the problem. The skin responds to this continuous motion, mobilizing the underlying, subcutaneous tissue. Thus, the reactive connective tissue is broken down and the microcirculation in the treated areas is enhanced, thus achieving percutaneous oxygenation and reduction of fluid retention.

This mechanism is related to the mobilization of α-adrenergic receptors, which stimulate lipolysis. Fat cells have two types of receptors that are involved in their survival, the "α-cells" and the "β-cells". "Alpha" cells, when stimulated, protect fat. But "beta" cells, when properly stimulated, are self-destructive. In other words, they release fat. Thanks to their action, the fat stored in the form of triglycerides is converted to fatty acids, which are much thinner than triglycerides, so they pass through the membrane and are released into the bloodstream. Then, they are naturally eliminated from the body through its natural metabolism.

At the same time, tissues are transformed, the skin and the hypodermis acquire elasticity, while the stimulation of a special mechanism contributes to the production of collagen and elastin.

Usually 2-3 sessions per week and a total of about 20-25 sessions are recommended. If you are on a diet at the same time, then one to two sessions per week are recommended. The sessions are completely painless and without any side effects.

Results

Endermologie is used to break down cellulite, redistribute adipose tissue and improve the appearance of the skin, offering a firmer body.

The first results appear after 10-12 sessions and there is continuous improvement in each session. Once the treatment protocol is completed, usually one session per month is required (depending on the patient’s age, lifestyle and hormonal changes) in order to maintain the results.

Useful Information

• Some bruising may occur in the treated areas, especially in the first sessions, which subside in the following 1-2 weeks.
• As the lymphatic circulation is activated, it is recommended to consume at least 2 liters of water per day.
• This skin tightening device treatment can be combined with other similar ones, such as radiofrequency body treatments, as well as mesotherapy.
• Endermologie can also be applied postoperatively, following liposuction or liposculpture surgeries, to maximize the results. In other words, it promotes recovery and healing as well as faster removal of residual swelling.
• Improving your diet and increasing your physical activity together with the treatment can add tremendously to the final result.
