Most of my answers tend to point readers towards practitioners and not technology. Here however, is an area where one technology is clearly superior to the other. Velashape gives better results than Endermologie, whose days I believe, are numbered. However, bear in mind that we're still not quite able to treat cellulite adequately. We aim for cellulite reduction and the results are variable. So, even Velashape itself does not give spectacular results. There are lasers on the horizon whose European studies seem to suggest even better results.

Endermologie is a SUPERIOR technology to Velashape. I would have to assume that the doctor who responded otherwise in unfamilar with both technologies (or invented/owns Valashape to make such a remark). At our endermologie practice, we have had several Velashape, Vellasmooth, Mesotherapy, etc. clients who have sought out endermologie services after not receiving results with these other technologies. Specifically, I had Mesotherapy with zero results and my friend who did the sessions with me had to have her lumps cause by the mesotherapy removed by liposuction! I have done endermologie personally and was able to eliminate all of my cellulite to the point that I could no longer even pinch it on my skin anywhere. A great feat at 30 years old and for having cellulite for more than half of my life at the time. Endermologie is by far the most superior technology on the market for cellulite - PERIOD.
