Mechanisms of Treatment

  • Stretching of connective tissue.

  • Increase of blood and lymphatic flow.

  • Skin exfoliation.

  • Stimulation of collagen production.

  • Facilitation of fat metabolism.
Treatments for cellulite remain largely unsuccessful because they only target the appearance of cellulite. It was finally understood that the dimpling on the surface of the skin was but a symptom of the underlying cause and to banish the bumps would require a deeply acting treatment.

Endermologie®, a subdermal approach to treating cellulite, was pioneered by LPG Systems in France over a decade ago.  Since its introduction to the USA, Endermologie® was the first to be FDA approved for temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite. Its safety and efficacy have been the subject of several clinical trials and on going research reveals positive results. Endermologie® has been given extensive coverage on TV networks and magazines. 


Endermologie® is non-surgical and non-invasive. It involves the use of a motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction, which creates a symmetrical skin-fold. The skin gently folds and unfolds under the continuous action of the rollers allowing for smooth and regulated deep tissue mobilization. As the viscosity of the subcutaneous fat layer decreases, blood flow and lymphatic drainage increase, facilitating the elimination of excess fluid and metabolites, while improving overall cellular function.
