ON CELLULITE

What is cellulite?
Cellulite is a skin condition, which affects more than 90% of women. Directly related to hormonal variations, it also tends to worsen with age. Resulting from microcirculation impairment; cellulite is a vicious circle involving fluid retention, enlargement of fat cells and an alteration of connective tissue.

Why does skin look dimpled?
Clinically, the appearance of cellulite is the result of enlarged female hypodermic lobules, which give the skin the dimpled "orange peel" look. As a woman, you have two opposing forces which create this visible appearance of cellulite:
bulleted item  Vertical connection tissue pulling down on the skin
bulleted item  Fluid retention and enlarged fat cells pushing up on the skin

Do diet and exercise get rid of the cellulite?
NO. Because cellulite is a complex problem, it must be addressed from the subcutaneous layer, to act on fluid retention. Whereas both diet and exercise affect deep fat, they fail to act on the underlying cause of cellulite on the superficial tissue of your skin. Even women who exercise regularly and follow low fat-diets may still have cellulite.

Will anything help?
YES. Endermologie is a technique recognized worldwide, which has been proven for over ten years. Administered with the LPG family of therapeutic massagers, Endermologie is the first technique recognized to fight the dimpled appearance of cellulite by temporarily improving local circulation.

ON ENDERMOLOGIE

What is Endermologie?
Endermologie is a one-of-a-kind technique applied to the entire body by an LPG Certified Technician to fight cellulite with:
bulleted item  LPG's patented therapeutic massagers: specialized devices boasting unmatched technology.
bulleted item  Specific maneuvers which work various layers of your skin.

What is the Principle of Endermologie?
The LPG device is unique because of the patented action of the treatment head that combines gentle suction with two active rollers, creating a symmetrical skin fold.  The skin is lifted by gentle suction while the rollers treat this skin fold.

Various maneuvers are applied, first on the back, then on the buttocks, thighs, legs, and finally on the abdomen for a 45 minute total body treatment. Your Endermologie technician will individualize your treatment by focusing on your cellulite-ridden areas.

How does it work?
Endermologie is like performing gymnastics on your skin and underlying tissue: suction and motorized rollers massage your skin, thus exercising it.

LPG's gentle suction mobilizes your connective tissue and the rollers help to increase circulation, thus facilitating the exchange of fluids. Endermologie closes the gap between the two forces that originally created the dimpled appearance, thus fighting the appearance of cellulite.

What makes Endermologie different than others?
Pure "vacuum therapy" has been used for many years, with no success. Endermologie is the first technique to introduce a patented combination of suction plus dual active rollers to create a symmetrical skin fold. Only the LPG family of therapeutic massagers have two rollers to comfortably roll - and unroll - the skin, thus treating the various layers of tissue. Suction alone does not work, and without two rollers, the skin may be pinched or bruised, showing little results.

What role does diet play in Endermologie?
A healthy diet filled with the necessary ingredients to promote and maintain good health is important throughout your treatments.

Why is water such an integral part of the program?
Adequate water intake flushes wastes from the body as it hydrates muscles and other tissues. While the lymphatic system is primarily responsible for removing these products, water is essential in the elimination of waste fluids. A minimum of 2 liters of water a day is vital to the success of this regimen.

Is Endermologie an adequate substitute for exercise?
No. Endermologie is not a replacement for exercise. We encourage clients to maintain an exercise regime during treatments.

Why is a series of maintenance treatments necessary?
Like exercise, just a single Endermologie session won't produce recognizable results. But a customized program of appointments will decrease dimpling and produce improvements in your appearance. Maintenance treatments and a continued commitment to a healthy lifestyle can help you retain the desirable inner and outer advantages of Endermologie therapy.
