Endermologie is a non-surgical
treatment used as a toning therapy for cellulite and post-operative
liposuction amongst other conditions. To date, no other method has
been found to reliably and consistently reduce the appearance of cellulite
as effectively as endermological massage. Cellulite does not respond
well to weight loss, exercise, creams or even surgical liposuction
and is therefore why endermologie is the only Cellulite reduction method
approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA.). Treatments
are performed by trained therapists, with a hand-held, massaging head
that intermittently rolls - over and sucks the affected area and kneads
subjacent soft tissue. This unique combination of gentle suction and
deep reaching massage is applied to the affected areas in a manner
that cannot be replicated by any other treatments. (Patients have
described the experience as relaxing - much like a deep body massage).
Whilst a precise reason for
the success of this system is not yet fully understood, it is thought
that it works by physically stretching, and therefore loosening, the
interconnected web of fibrous tissue which tethers the dermis (or
connective) tissue to one another. By softening the bonds between
these strands and - it is currently held - by stimulating the circulation
beneath the skin, the process subsequently eradicates any unsightly
dimples. By generating a massive surge of oxygen and blood to affected
areas, the treatment mimics the behaviour of your body's healthy tissue,
thus increasing the lymphatic drainage of stagnant, toxic waste within
the system. Furthermore, extensive medical research has conclusively
revealed that - in addition to the arousal of deep circulatory activity
- endermologie also increases levels of collagen within the skin: it
is the combined action of these several factors that ultimately results
in a significantly tighter, smoothly contoured body.
