| Frequently Asked Questions |
What is cellulite?
Cellulite is deposits of fat and other material
trapped in pockets of connective tissue beneath the skin.
It causes progressive dimpling, also called “orange
peel” or “cottage cheese” appearance
of the skin. About 90 % of women are affected by it, after
they reach puberty. |
Why are women prone to
develop cellulite?
Women’s skin is built differently than
men’s to help them to store fat during pregnancy
and breast feeding and also to allow the skin to expand
during these times. When estrogen levels fluctuate in
the body, the skin will retain fluid, connective tissue
in the skin hardens, blood, and lymphatic circulation
is decreased, and fat cell storage is favored, causing
the development of cellulite. |
What is Endermologie
Endermologie is a TGA approved procedure, developed
by LPG, using the Cellu M6 Keymodule machine, to temporarily,
yet effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite and
circumferential body measurements of treated areas. |
How does the machine work?
The Keymodule’s small hand-held, motorised
treatment head with specially designed rollers performs
the Endermologie treatment. By gently lifting and rolling
the skin the Cellu M6 Keymodule stimulates the venous
and lymphatic systems thereby eliminating toxins. Fiboblasts
are stimulated to the increase collagen and elastin production
generating a healthier rejuvenated skin tone. The treatment
also smoothes the surface of the skin by softening the
connective tissue, that anchors the skin, causing the
dimples of cellulite. |
Does Endermologie really
work?
Yes. Clinical studies from UCLA, Vanderbilt University,
and many European Universities have proven results of
the Endermologie machine. For more information on these
studies, please visit LPG’s website, www.cosire-lpg.com |
Who is performing the
treatment?
All treatments are performed by a qualified Endermologie
Therapist. All Endermologie Therapists are trained
and certified through C8 Endermologie, official Australian
distributor for LPG Systems. |
How long does a session last?
Do you just work on my problem areas?
A session lasts for 35 minutes. The main focus of the
treatment is directed to the problem areas, but the entire
body must be treated in order to stimulate general circulation
and elimination of broken up toxic matters. |
How many sessions do I
need to start seeing results?
Results vary for every person, however an average
person starts to notice the changes after about 6-8 sessions. |
How many treatments should
I consider to begin with?
A series of 15 sessions would be a good start
to achieve results. Depending on your age, weight and
health history, you may need more than one package of
Treatments. The first 6 treatments are suggested within
a 2 week time period, then the rest of the treatments
should be received twice a week until desired look is
achieved. After the desired look is achieved, a once a
month maintenance is sufficient for most individuals. |
How long should I continue
my treatments?
We suggest that you approach cellulite treatment
as a lifestyle change. Just as we go to have our hair
cut on an ongoing basis, we need our cellulite treated
regularly as well. If we don’t address the problem
in such a manner, cellulite will come back.. |
Does the procedure hurt?
Rest assured that you are in the best possible
hands. With your highly trained therapist, and the machine’s
capability of changing intensity, you won’t need
to be in pain. It is a non-invasive, relaxing treatment
that involves no medical procedures or use of any chemical
substances, creams or gels. |
What do I wear during
treatments?
We will provide you with a body stocking, Endermowear,
to wear during all of your sessions. The stocking
is worn for modesty and hygiene. |
Can everyone receive the
treatment?
No. It is not for pregnant women, or people taking
blood thinners, people with circulatory or vascular disease,
active cancer, and also with infectious progressive diseases,
and AIDS. Should you have any other concerns, we recommend
that you consult your physician. |
Does the treatment have
any side effects?
The only negative side effect possible is minor
bruising for individuals with very sensitive skin. However
there are numerous positive side effects, such as relieving
muscle soreness, fading of stretch marks and scar tissue,
feeling rejuvenated, and relaxed. |
Is it a weight loss program?
No, in order to lose weight you need to get on
an exercise and diet program. However you can achieve
incredible results by combining this treatment with weight
loss programs. As a result of the treatment, you’ll
notice your clothes fitting better, and also you’ll
lose some inches in circumferential body measurements. |
Do I need to do anything
to get good results?
Yes. Drink sufficient amount of water. You will
receive information during your initial consultation on
the amount of water your body needs. |
Does this treatment work
on men also?
Definitely. Even though men are not prone to
develop cellulite, they might have loose skin, or some
fat trapped under the skin, that can be improved by the
treatments. Clinical experience has shown excellent results
for problem areas such as "love handles" and loose pectoral
tissue. It is an excellent skin toner, therefore it is
the best choice to treat the skin after weight loss that
resulted in loose skin. |
How much does an ENDERMOLOGIEŽ
treatment cost?
ENDERMOLOGIEŽ treatments range from $120 - $140,
depending on the clinic, per treatment. Treatments are
often sold singularly or in packages of 20, 30, and 40
treatments. |
What is the difference
between ENDERMOLOGIEŽ and Liposuction?
ENDERMOLOGIEŽ treatments are non-invasive and
improve the health of connective tissue. Liposuction is
an invasive surgical procedure aimed at removing deep
fat tissue from an area. Doctors often recommend ENDERMOLOGIEŽ
treatments in conjunction with liposuction to minimise
the trauma cause by the scaring and inflammation of the
procedure and to improve the health of the tissue. |
Are the results permanent?
If the factors causing the initial condition
are not changed, the tissue will return to the state it
was in before ENDERMOLOGIEŽ. Regular exercise, a balanced
diet and 1-2 ENDERMOLOGIEŽ maintenance treatments per
month are recommended to help keep the results achieved. |
Is ENDERMOLOGIEŽ new?
ENDERMOLOGIEŽ has been a specific procedure for
the treatment of cellulite and body contouring since 1986.
Over 100,000 treatments are now performed every day in
over 90 countries worldwide. |
