FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What is cellulitis?

Celullitis originates from fat and other substances that are retained in the bags of connective tissue under the skin. These substances cause progressive formation of lumps, also called orange peel skin. Approximately 90% of women are affected by cellulitis after reaching puberty.

Why are women prone to cellulitis?

Women's skin is built differently than men's skin in order that it can retain fat during pregnancy, and breastfeeding women may find skin extending during this time. When estrogen levels reach their peak, the skin retains water, connective tissues in the skin harden, blood and lymph flow more slowly, and fat cells grow more intensely, all of which leads to cellulitis.

What is endermology?

Endermology is a treatment approved by an Australian government agency called TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), created by LPG using Cellu M6 keymodule, which temporarily but effectively reduces the occurrence of cellulitis and body size in treated areas.

Does endermology really work?

Yes, many clinical studies carried out in Europe and the USA have confirmed this. For a more detailed overview of current studies, see www.corise-lpg.com.
For example, LPG Endermologie was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA is an extremely strict and recognized organization that approves and registers new drugs and treatment methods.

Who carries out the treatment?

All treatments are carried out by qualified endermologic therapists following professional training.

How long does one sitting last? Is it possible to treat only the problematic areas?

One sitting lasts thirty-five minutes. We focus especially on the treatment of problematic areas, but in order to stimulate the primary circulation and release toxic substances the whole body has to be treated.

How many sittings are necessary in order to see the first results?

Results vary from client to client, but it can be said that the results are visible after six to eight therapeutic sessions.

How many therapeutic sessions must be attended?

Ideally fifteen sittings should be attended. However, everything depends on age, weight and medical history. Some need more therapeutic sessions, others need less. It is recommended to attend the first six therapeutic sessions three times a week. Later, the number of sittings can be reduced to two visits a week. After achieving the desired effect, it is recommended to attend one maintaining session a month.

How long can the treatment last?

Ideally, the overall lifestyle should be changed as well. It is the same as having hair cut - we go to the hairdresser's regularly, but we also take care of our hair at home. Similarly, we have to take care of cellulitis because otherwise it will return.

Is the treatment painful?

We can assure you that you are in the best of hands. With our trained staff and the possibility to change the treatment intensity, which is enabled by the technology of the machine, you will not feel pain. The treatment is non-invasive, relaxing, and does not involve the use of medical procedures or the use of chemical substances.

What should I wear during the therapeutic session?

During the therapeutic session you will wear an Endermowear body stocking that is used throughout the treatment period. This body stocking is used for hygienic reasons and a feeling of intimacy.

Is the treatment suitable for everyone?

No. Pregnant women, people with circulation and vascular diseases, people with cancer, infectious diseases, and AIDS cannot undergo the treatment. If you think that you could have any other problems, we recommend consulting a physician regarding your health status.

Does the treatment have any adverse effects?

The only adverse effect may be a bloody suffusion in people with very fine skin. But even in these people we observe a lot of positive side effects, such as relief of muscle pain, reduction of body stiffness, feeling of rejuvenation, and relaxation.

Is there any weight loss programme?

Weight loss requires exercise and change of eating habits. But if you combine a healthier lifestyle with the therapeutic sessions, your clothes will fit you better and you will for sure lose some centimetres.

Is there anything to be done in order to achieve the desired results?

Yes, increase water intake. During the personal consultation you will be informed of the exact amount of water.

Are these therapeutic sessions also suitable for men?

Of course, although men are not prone to cellulitis, their skin also loses strength or they accumulate fat, and treatment can help them. Clinical studies have confirmed excellent results in problematic areas, such as the belly or fat cushions on the hips which all-too evidently stick out of trousers at the hip. It is an excellent way of renewing skin tone, for example following weight loss when the skin is loose. The treatment will strengthen skin beautifully.

What is the difference between endermology and liposuction?

Endermology is a non-invasive treatment that improves the quality of connective tissue. Liposuction is an invasive method that focuses on the removal of deeply embedded fat from a specific area. Physicians often recommend endermologic treatment following liposuction due to faster healing and earlier restoration of tissue.

Are the results permanent?

Unless a client improves overall lifestyle, the fibres will return to the state prior to endermology. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and one to two therapeutic sessions a month will help maintain the accomplished and desired results.

Is endermology a novelty?

Endermology is a specific technique for the treatment of cellulitis and the body that has been used since 1986. Currently, 100,000 therapeutic sessions are daily attended in ninety countries.
