1. What is cellulite?
Do many women have it? Cellulite
is deposits of fat and other material trapped
in pockets of connective tissue beneath
the skin. It causes progressive dimpling,
also called “orange peel”, or
“cottage cheese” appearance
of the skin. About 90 % of women are effected
by it, after they reach puberty. |
|
7. Why
are women prone to develop cellulite?
Women’s skin is built differently,
than men’s, to help them to store
fat during pregnancy and breast feeding,
and also to allow the skin to expand during
these times. When estrogen levels fluctuate
in the body, the skin will retain fluid,
connective tissue in the skin hardens, blood,
and lymphatic circulation is decreased,
and fat cell storage is favored, causing
the development of cellulite.

2. What is Endermologie®?
Endermologie® is an FDA approved procedure,
developed by LPG, using the Cellu-M6 machine,
to temporarily, yet effectively reduce the
appearance of cellulite, and circumferential
body measurements of treated areas. For
more information on the company, please
visit their website, www.lpgone.net
|
8. How
does the machine work?
The machine is performing skin rolling, a
well known massage technique, to break up
fat cells trapped in the skin, increase blood
flow, and lymphatic circulation, that will
eliminate the broken up matters. The treatment
also smoothes the surface of the skin by softening
the connective tissue, that anchors the skin,
causing the dimples of cellulite. |
| |
|
|
3. Does Endermologie® really
work?
Yes. Clinical studies from UCLA, Vanderbilt
University, and many European Universities
have proven results of the Endermologie®
machine. For more information on these studies,
please visit LPG’s website, www.lpgone.net
|
9. Who
is performing the treatment?
Our technicians are all certified by LPG,
the company that developed and received FDA
clearance for the machine. In addition to
the LPG training they undergo an additional
training by the owner operator of our facility,
Klara, who has an experience of over 6 years
in therapeutic and sports massage, and herself
is a certified Endermologie® therapist
as well. |

4. How long does a session last?
Do you just work on my problem areas?
A session lasts for 45 minutes. The main
focus of the treatment is directed to the
problem areas, but the entire body must
be treated in order to stimulate general
circulation and elimination of broken up
toxic matters.
|
10.
How many treatments do I need to start seeing
results?
Results vary for every person, however an
average person starts to notice the changes
after about 6-8 treatments. |
| |
|
5. How many treatments should
I consider to begin with?
A series of 10 or 15 treatments would
be a good start to achieve results. The
first 6 treatments are suggested within
a 3 week time period, than the rest of the
treatments should be received on a weekly
basis until desired look is achieved. After
the desired look is achieved, a once a month
maintenance is sufficient for most individuals. |
11.
How long should I continue my treatments?
We suggest that you approach cellulite treatment
as a lifestyle change. Just as we go to
have our hair cut, and nails trimmed on
an ongoing basis, we need our cellulite
treated regularly as well. If we don’t
address the problem in such manner, cellulite
will come back..
|
| |
|
6. Does the procedure hurt?
Rest assured that you are in the best possible
hands. With your highly trained technician,
and the machine’s capability of changing
intensity, you won’t need to be in
pain, but a certain discomfort during the
first few treatments is possible, until
your skin gets used to the treatment.
|
12.
What do I wear during treatments?
We will provide you with a body stocking,
Endermowear, to wear during all of your
sessions. The first one is free with any
treatment series. Should you lose it, you’ll
need to purchase another one. For women
thong style underwear is suggested to wear
as well, men should consider Speedo style
underwear.

13. I just had Liposuction,
should I, can I still get Endermologie®?
Most definitely. Liposuction is done on the superficial
reserve fat layer that is underneath the cellulite
area, therefore does not help with cellulite problems.
Just 2-3 days after your liposuction you can start
our Endermologie treatment to eliminate cellulite,
that can’t be addressed by liposuction.
Specific treatment plan is designed to treat individual’s
pre and post liposuction surgery.
|
| |
14. What do I wear during
treatments?
We will provide you with a body stocking, Endermowear,
to wear during all of your sessions. The first
one is free with any treatment series. Should
you lose it, you’ll need to purchase another
one. For women thong style underwear is suggested
to wear as well, men should consider Speedo style
underwear.
|
| |
15. Can everyone receive
the treatment?
No. It is not for pregnant women, or people taking
blood thinners, people with circulatory or vascular
disease, active cancer, and also with infectious
progressive diseases, and AIDS. Should you have
any other concerns, we recommend that you consult
your physician.
|
| |
16. Does the treatment
have any side effects?
The only negative side effect possible is minor
bruising for individuals with very sensitive skin.
However there are numerous positive side effects,
such as relieving muscle soreness, fading of stretch
marks and scar tissue, feeling rejuvenated, and
relaxed.
|
| |
17. Is it a weight loss
program?
No, in order to lose pounds, you need to get on
an exercise and diet program. However you can
achieve incredible results by combining this treatment
with weight loss programs. As a result of the
treatment, you’ll notice your clothes fitting
better, and also you’ll lose some inches
in circumferential body measurements.
|
| |
18. Do I need to do anything
to get good results?
Yes. Drink sufficient amount of water. You will
receive information during your free initial consultation
on the amount of water your body needs.
|
| |
19. Does this treatment
work on men also?
Definitely. Even though men are not prone to develop
cellulite, they might have loose skin, or some
fat trapped under the skin, that can be improved
by the treatments. Clinical experience has shown
excellent results for problem areas such as "love
handles" and loose pectoral tissue. It is
an excellent skin toner, therefore it is the best
choice to treat the skin after weight loss that
resulted in loose skin.
