Endermologie.

Endermologie is used to promote inch loss and reduce unsightly cellulite. For women wanting fast, significant results – even on stubborn areas that diet, exercise and invasive procedures don’t treat- Lipomassage by Endermologie is a new technique that focuses on specific areas like the saddlebags, tummy and love handles. It is also an ideal treatment to help get new mum’s back into shape after pregnancy.

Lipomassage has been scientifically proven to stimulate Lipolysis, which causes the breakdown of fatty acids. This treatment is endorsed by celebrity fitness trainer Gunnar Peterson who clients include Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey and Gwen Stefani.

• What is it and how does it form?

In addition to the hormonal reasons that may trigger it, cellulite results from both a build-up of fat in the adipose tissue (the hypodermic fat cells) and water retention around them (in the dermis and hypodermis). As the adipocytes get bigger the ‘envelopes’ containing them change shape and pull on their anchor points on the skin. This is what causes cellulite’s ‘orange peel’ effect.

This process is self-perpetuating because blood circulation is then slowed down causing stagnation of metabolic waste. These unsightly patches of cellulite can also be painful if the pressure inside these pockets of fat increases.

• Why are women affected more than men by cellulite?

Because the fat structures of men and women do not react to fat increase in the same way. For women, the hypodermis is partitioned vertically by the septa (mesh or net-like fibrous connective tissue forming a network of compartments). The subcutaneous fat cells are pushed upwards, and the septa are pushed downwards. As a result, the fat cells are squeezed into small bulges that translate into the lumps and ‘orange peel’ look of the skin. Men’s fibrous septa is structured in oblique compartments. When the layer of fat increases there is no deformation.

• How does Lipomassage work?

Treatments are administered with the new Ergodrive head, which is equipped with LPG’s patented, independent motorised rollers. The ROLL’ Up, ROLL’ In and ROLL ‘Out action gently yet intensively conditions skin tissue to eliminate fat deposits, revitalize blood and lymphatic circulation (i.e. ROLL ‘Up), and reactivate lipolysis (e.g. ROLL’ In action is responsible for more than 70% of the fat elimination). With the multiple rotational differentials of the ROLL modalities, LIPOMASSAGE is also able to stimulate the collagen and elastin production and firm slackening skin (i.e. ROLL’Out).

• Understanding Cellulite - What is it and how does it form?

In addition to the hormonal reasons that may favour its appearance, cellulite results from both a build-up of fat in the adipose tissue (the hypodermic fat cells) and water retention around them (in the dermis and hypodermis). As the adiposities get bigger the ‘envelopes’ containing them change shape and pull on their anchor points on the skin. This is what causes cellulite’s ‘orange peel’ effect.
