What is Cellulite?

Cellulite is a clumping together of enlarged fat cells in the subcutaneous fat layer the layer just under the layers of skin. These clumps of fat cells stretch the cell connecting fibers and impair circulation to and from active and inactive cells.

This could be hips, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, abdomens, sides (love handles), backs, and underarms. The patented LPG Endermologie process reduces cellulite and non-cellulite fat on both women and men. Endermologie® is especially effective for men.

How long until I see results?

This will maximize the enhanced circulation and toxin flush giving the most effective results.

How long do the effects of Endermologie last?

With maintenance, improvements in appearance and measurements have lasted up to four years!

What do I need to do before or after the Endermologie treatment?

One of the reasons this process is so effective is that large amounts of fat, waste, and toxins are eased out of the tissues during treatment. To ensure these wastes are not recycled back into your body, you will want to drink extra water before and after your appointment.

A program of exercise, healthy diet, and the Hypatia maintenance package will also help keep your results and ensure that the tissues maintain their new look and shape for as long as possible.
