Endermologie Damaged my Skin Laxity

I can't believe I spent $550 to GET dimpled legs...

$550
I can't believe I spent $550 to GET dimpled legs and saggy skin. My legs looked great before this junky treatment, all I had was a dimple on my glutes that I thought this would help (after reading all the 5* reviews here really?) I had 6 sessions total- the lady recommended at least 10.
Although this esthetician cliamed to have 25 years of endermologie experience, which I actually believe her- I believe the treatment itself at a very high setting is NOT good for the skin- from day 1 and first treatment, I felt something wasn't right about the tugging and pulling and over-manipulating of the skin that way- and after the 3rd session my nightmare materialized, it was stretching my skin. I emailed her to ask her if this was a "worse before it got better type of thing" she had no answers. I stupidly decided to continue, and it just got worse and worse- I stopped at 6 sessions and now I can't forgive myself for paying to GET CElLULITE...my thighs are riddled with dimpled and loose skin. How is this treatment getting any rave reviews at all? It's a joke. If you have thing skin that's easily affected by stress, please save yourself the trauma of damaging it further with this pseudo-treatment. Now I'm looking into radiofrequency to tighten the skin that only became loose after 6 endermologie sessions. Stay away- this is too stressful on your skin at a high setting, and much higher cost to fix.

The practitioner was friendly and nice, but when I raised my concern after the 3rd session, she brushed it off and had no answers to my question, I showed her what I was talking about and she still had no visible response. But she had originally promoted this as the cure-all for cellulite. not the case, this ruined my skin and I now HAVE cellulite.

Hi! I am experiencing exactly the same! After 3 treatments (20 min) each, my skin became too saggy and cellulite is more evident than before. I also started monopolar rf (yesterday). Can you please tell me if rf treatments are working for you? I really hope you are doing better, Thanks for sharing!!

No, it has actually gotten worse with exercise and weight loss. I wish I had never done it.

Could you tell us your experience after this? Someone I care about went through the same, and she doesnt know what to do.

I have a feeling you had aqueous cellulite. (water) which gives the appearance of smooth skin. When the drainage occurs the skin can show the cellulite that was always there but the water retention covered it up due to a lack of circulation. The condition isnt fair because the lack of circulation causes aging due to a lack of oxygen to your skin...Also if you are not working out strengthening the muscles you may have saggy skin because the lipolysis activated the elimination of fat. It is best to get to the gym and build muscle following treatments. The results are wonderful. Another cause is possibly the technician was using too much suction. This is a problem when people have not been uptodate with education. They may have worked with the machine for years but did not continue educating themselves on the medical device. Its unfortunate and honestly this device is amazing but you really need to be aware of the science... which is hard for a consumer to know.

Did this resolve for you? I just completed 7 treatments of endermologie and RF and now have ripples and indentions, my legs were smooth before.
