Cellulite Treatment (Endermologie)

Cellulite shows itself as dimpling on the surface of the skin which is sometimes referred to as looking like 'orange peel', and is found on the thighs and buttocks of many women. It is caused by the natural structure of the skin being stretched by fat cells growing too large, and is thought to also be as a result of poor blood and lymph circulation.

Endermologie® was pioneered by LPG Systems in France in the 1990’s. Since its introduction to the USA, Endermologie® has become the world’s first patented technology to be approved by the American Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), who agree that it 'temporarily reduces the circumferential body measurements in cellulite treated areas.'

It is non-surgical and non-invasive and involves the use of a motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction which is moved over the patient, who wears a specially designed body stocking. The skin gently folds and unfolds under the continuous action of the rollers and is literally 'smoothed out'. Under the skin, the tissues have also been flattened which lessens the appearance of the cellulite. As a result of this action, the circulation of the blood is increased and this nourishes the blood cells under the skin. At the same time, the lymph system is stimulated and toxins and unwanted fluid are also removed. It is also claimed that new collagen is stimulated to grow in the treated area.

Other machines marketed in the UK for the treatment of cellulite also claim to work on the principal of vacuum massage and skin rolling. However, as an Endermologie® machine is a patented device of LPG systems, other equipment used by clinics (or devices that you can use at home) may not necessarily repeat the results achieved with Endermologie® and thus may not be as successful.

Treatment sessions are usually recommended twice weekly and last for approximately 35 minutes. You should usually see changes within five or six sessions, but 14 is the average number of suggested treatments. Monthly maintenance sessions are then suggested afterwards to maintain the results as the effect is not permanent.

Private costs for this type of treatment range from approximately £60 - £90 for a 45 minute treatment session. On average, you may need 14 sessions or more in order to achieve a good result. Discounts are usually available for treatment courses so that 14 sessions may cost around £700.

Please note that all clinics offering cosmetic surgery should be registered with the Healthcare Commission, as they need to follow certain standards for the safe provision of cosmetic surgery and receive regular inspections to ensure that National Minimum Standards are met.
