What
is Endermologie ?
Between
80-85% of women are affected by cellulite, normally appearing after
puberty. Many factors can contribute to the formation of cellulite:
hereditary factors, hormone dysfunctions, blood circulation problems
as well as poor nutrition habits.
The
human body has several distinct layers of fat tissue, each with
its own properties. Some layers respond well to diet and exercise;
others require more direct intervention.
Although
there are numerous creams, cellulite pills and other techniques
touting their effects on cellulite few are scientifically proven
effective.

In North America
New
to North America is a non invasive, suction-assisted massage technique
that was developed in France in the late 1970's. This therapy is
called Endermologie which is an FDA approved treatment to successfully
combat cellulite. Scientific studies have concluded that Endermologie
has a profound physiological effect. This mechanical skin rolling
technique is used to stimulate superficial circulation, stretch
connective tissue fibers, eliminate waste products and helps to
restore natural metabolism.

Improvements in Skin Tone
Skin
tone is improved through a stimulation of skin cells that produce
collagen and elastin. This is especially beneficial for skin that
has aged and lost elasticity. Cellulite and other layers of fat
are essentially massaged.
During
this process, fat cells are not broken down or crushed. Instead,
the fat lobes themselves remain, but they are diminished in size,
and the fluid surrounding them is naturally drained.
Treatments
are performed by our esthetician and are approximately 35 minutes
in length and recommended two times per week. The number of treatments
required will vary according to the condition of the patients skin.
We
have found that patients are experiencing a definite reduction in
the appearance of cellulite as well as an overall loss of inches.
Patients love the treatments because it is a natural approach to
healthy firm skin, it feels great and they leave feeling relaxed
and rejuvenated.
