I was browsing the dreaded swimsuit catalog and saw lots of mentions about cellulite hiding. But I don't want to just hide my cellulite, I want to get rid of it. read about endermologie cellulite treatment and how it can treat cellulite. But is this cellulite removal permanent and if not, how long do the results last?

Endermologie is said to help break down the fat layer between your skin and muscles and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Skeptics feel as if the reduction in appearance of cellulite is due to the fact that your skin is swollen post procedure. Believers, and it has been super popular in Europe for years, feel that monthly treatments after the initial course of 10-14 weeks are all that is needed to maintain the results.
I personally do not know anyone that has had this treatment. I would imagine that exercise, genetics and diet are big factors in determining how well Endermologie does work. However, the risks are quite low, and if it does work, I say, sign me up.

Endermologie and Liposuction Dr. Marie Charlotte Cumin purchased LPG’s patented technology to bring patients in on a more regular basis and keep them coming back. Initially, I invested in LPG as a way to access an additional type of clientele, those who were not interested in surgery. Not only have my expectations been met, they have been exceeded. I have found, in addition to attracting new patients, the LPG equipment and Endermologie are extremely efficient when used in conjunction with liposuction. For example, I have seen an improvement in skin condition with my liposuction cases. I also use Endermologie during surgery to improve results in areas such as the inner calf and thigh where liposuction results tend to be unpredictable. Dr. Cumin proposes a maintenance plan to her liposuction patients involving the LPG treatment. For the first two months following surgery, the plan calls for ten treatment sessions, with one session per month after that. Women are more and more demanding now, she explains, ``The supplemental treatments improve the results of their surgery and undeniably increases their level of satisfaction.`` In those cases where patients are dissatisfied with liposuction results, Dr. Cumin has also found LPG to de of great benefit. Instead of performing a second surgical procedure for which she must bear the cost, Dr. Cumin now initiates billable Endermologie treatments and claims it is a solution that satisfies both the patient and the physician. LPG’s patented system of aspirated hypodermal mobilization is ideal for use in conjunction with liposuction. Though the procedure is simple enough for a trained nurse or technician to execute, its multiple applications used before, during and after liposuction, as well as the benefits of its whole body approach, can greatly improve results. The unique non-invasive technique offered by LPG softens connective tissues. When used before liposuction, the procedure will facilitate penetration and movement of the canula. By stimulating the natural absorption and elimination functions, LPG’s technique also significantly reduces recovery time. Once purified and decongested, tissues can be stimulated so that their natural elasticity is restored. Specific mobilizations aimed at dynamic and repetitive stretching of the elastin fibers will tone the tissues that had been distended by fat or liquid overloads for too long. LPG not only enhances the benefits of liposuction, which are restricted to specific localized areas, but provides the physician with a practical method for treating the whole body. With this approach, physiological as well as cosmetic benefits are extended, enhancing the efforts of the physician and giving the patient an increased sense of satisfaction. Besides the clinical experiments that have demonstrated the efficiency of the LPG technology, countless physicians and patients can testify to its results. Reference: Endermologie Journal issue 1

I bought a 15 treatment package, So far, I had had 3 treatments. The skin seems softer and smoother, but I have been told that you start seeing results after 6/8 treatments.

Its not worth the money. I was told I needed 20 treatments to see results, and "drop" a dress size. Originally they said that I would begin to see results after 5-6 sessions, when that didnt happen they said 7-8 sessions, then 14 sessions. After the full 20 sessions they said I needed additional sessions in order to see the results. After already spending over $3,000 without any real results and no promise of when I would see them I moved to good old fashioned exercise, and already my skin is alot better.

I am a Registered Medical Technician preforming the Endermologie Treatments at a Board Certified Plastic Surgeons office in Houston, Texas. I have seen tremendous change in patients when preforming the treatments alone as well as in conjunction with Liposuction. I am pleased to report that I see many happy patients with this technique. My recommendation for anyone considering endermologie is to have a consulation with a Plastic Surgeon to develop a treatment plan that works for your body. In a few cases it may be optimal to use this process in conjunction with a surgical procedure in order to reach the desired result. As with any elective procedure every person's outcome may be slightly different. It is very important to do your homework. Please feel free to contact me regarding references.

I have many clients who have had endermologie. I haven't heard any of them respond favorably. If they had any "results" it was only for a couple of days. It may be beneficial if combined with lipo (or better yet, SmartLipo) as a replacement for lymphatic drainage massage. I can't see it being beneficial long-term. No treatments have been shown to work "permanently" for SmartLipo. Up to 90% of women have cellulite to some degree. I suggest checking into the newest Thermage cellulite tip which seems to show the best option to date. Time will tell how long these results will last.

I am currently getting endermologie treatments at a local clinic and i'm on my 14th session (I have paid in advance for 20 sessions). After about 8 sessions I saw a reduction in my cellulite particularly in my lower thighs & calves and also my skin tone is much better. But after recent sessions it seems to have gotten worse - which I was warned about by the clinic as the cellulite apparently comes to the surface of the skin as part of the treatment process. According to my clinic it will improve within the next 2-3 sessions. I was told 20 sessions would be enough to make a difference so here's hoping. I did meet one of the other regular clients there, she showed me her before shots and I was amazed at the difference. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I only have a few more sessions to go and I wont be getting any more because of the price ($1800 for 20 sessions). I'll let you know how it goes...

You can always reshape your body. You can also get rid of cellulite all on your own rather than pay for expensive treatments that do not work or last. It is very simple. If cellulite was not there before it doesn't have to be there now. It comes from poor diet and lack of excercise. I have had cellulite as a result from lack of exercise. When the muscle loses its tone it turns into flab resulting in the cellulite look. The bottom line is to keep yourself on a serious exercise plan an stick with it. This is the only way I have learned to beat cellulite. No product can do that for you. Therefore, it is up to you.
