| A non-surgical deep massage technique. Involves the use of an externally applied vacuum with 2 rotating rollers in the handpiece through which the vacuum is applied to the skin. The technician rolls the vacuum over most parts of the outer skin that are not too curved. Leotard type garments are worn during the procedure to minimize bruising. The technique is comfortable and is usually performed at least twice to three times a week. The effects are mostly temporary. No fat is removed and you should not lose any weight as a result of Endodermologie alone. After multiple treatments (as many as 10 to 15) the end result is much the same as 1 liposuction treatment for those with minimal to moderate excess fat to start with. It is not recommended as the sole treatment for those with marked excess fat. The technique is not invasive. The effect is to gently pull on the surface of the skin. The vacuum likely pulls on the tethers and loosens or stretches them. If you are one of the fortunate patients to have a good result, you will likely need to keep returning for Endodermologie treatments in order to maintain it. |
