The Endermologie® Procedure

The Treatment Cycle

First of all, understand that it is a cycle treatment; results are not instantaneous. Some women begin to see results after six treatments. Most see significant results after about fourteen.  Most people are encouraged to schedule two treatments per week. Research indicates that this schedule produces the best results. Because there is no discomfort, you may go back to work or otherwise resume your normal activities immediately after each treatment. Remember: drink extra water to flush the toxins released by the treatment.

After a client has achieved her optimum results, monthly maintenance treatments are required to maintain these results. With monthly maintenance results have been shown to last more than four years before another treatment cycle is indicated.

Your Appointment

There is no special preparation required prior to your appointment other than to drink plenty of water. Endermologie® is much more effective on properly hydrated tissue.

Your Initial Appointment

You will fill out a client intake questionnaire.  The Endermologie® technician will take a series of photo's documenting the initial condition of your cellulite. Photos are taken to provide an accurate record of improvements and to help the Endermologie® technician provide better treatments through comparative analysis. Only you and your technician will see your photos.

Next you will be given an Endermologie® body suit. The body suit  is designed to withstand the rolling/folding motion of the machine, while preventing dead skin from passing into the machine. The body suit allows the Endermologie® treatment head to glide more easily over the body and insures optimal hygiene.

The strength of the treatment can be individually adjusted to your comfort level. Again, harder treatment is not a better treatment. We are not trying to batter the cellulite into submission but to encourage it to loosen its hold on the surrounding cells, allowing its contributing causes to be flushed away. If you feel discomfort, it is important to let your technician know. Minor, temporary bruising may occasionally occur from treatment.  It is not dangerous, but is an indicator that the treatment strength should be cut back.

Post-Appointment

Occasionally, another series of photo's will be taken. These will be used to adjust your treatment if necessary.  Remember to drink plenty of water so your body is more easily able to flush out the loose waste materials.

Most patients find the process quite pleasant, similar in feeling to a deep massage. Since the lymph system is stimulated, it is important for the treatment's success that you drink at least two liters of water every day during the duration of your treatment in order to aid in elimination. This is approximately twice as much as most people normally drink in a given day.
