Frequently Asked Questions
| How Endermologie Works | What is Cellulite? |
Does it really work? Have you seen results?
Yes,
it does work, as demonstrated over the past 12 years in thousands of case studies from
around the world. It was proof enough for approval by the FDA, which enforces the
strictest scientific standards world wide.
How many treatments can I have in one week?
The average number of treatments is two per week. If you are simultaneously in the process
of losing a significant amount of weight or if you have a long-term problematic cellulite
condition, one treatment per week is recommended More than two sessions per week will not
bring faster results.
How long does a session last? Do you just work on my problem
areas?
Sessions last an average of 35 minutes. Your problem areas are focused on, but time is
given to other areas to stimulate general circulation and elimination.
How many sessions before I see results?
Usually people see changes within 5 or 6 sessions, but 14 is the average number of
suggested treatments. Monthly maintenance sessions are suggested thereafter.
Does this replace exercise?
No. In fact, it is highly recommended that you add diet and exercise to the routine you
follow while undergoing Endermologie® treatments. In most cases, this improves
results
Does this treatment work on men also?
Definitely. For problem areas such as "love handles" and loose pectoral tissues.
results have been excellent.
Why are pantyhose worn when receiving treatments?
Pantyhose allows the Endermologie® treatment head to glide more easily over
the body and insures optimal hygiene.
Does the machine tone the skin? Will I lose weight?
You will most likely notice an improvement in skin tone after using the machine.
Appearance of stretch marks and loose skin may be improved. It is not a weight loss
machine. However, many clients report being able to lose weight, especially fat weight,
more easily while using the machine than they ever could before.
What is the difference between Endermologie® and
liposuction? Can it be used instead of liposuction?
Endermologie®, unlike liposuction, does not involve breaking through the skin
in any way. Some people try Endermologie® first and then choose to wait to
receive liposuction. Some choose to receive both as part of a dual treatment to their
problem. Endermologie® is being used and studied by some of the most well
known practitioners of liposuction in the world.
Why are photos taken before & after the treatment?
Photos are taken to provide an accurate record of improvements and to help the
Endermologie® practitioner provide better treatments through comparative
analysis.
I don't want anyone to see my pictures. Do you protect my
privacy?
Only your therapist and attendant staff will see your photos. If you wish, and you sign a
release to that effect, your photos may be used for educational and promotional purposes.
What sensations will I experience during the treatment? Does it
hurt?
The sensation is similar to a deep massage. Most clients find it quite pleasant. The
strength of the treatment can be individually adjusted to your comfort level.
What will I feel afterwards?
Most clients report a feeling of relaxation and an increase in energy. Since the Lymph
system is stimulated, it is recommended that you drink at least two liters of water every
day during the duration of your treatment in order to aid in elimination.
Are there any side effects?
Minor, temporary bruising may occur.
Can I receive treatments if I am pregnant?
No correlation has been found between Endermologie® and complications in
pregnancy. However, it is recommended that during pregnancy you do NOT receive treatments.
Can I have Endermologie® treatments
if I'm planning to have liposuction?
Yes! Endermologie® is recommended by many plastic surgeons before and after
liposuction (especially after). Endermologie® counteracts the rippling
and hard fat deposits than can occur with liposuction.
