While cellulite might not be physically harmful, it can do tremendous damage to a woman’s self-confidence and body image. The main cause of cellulite is genetics and this makes it a stubborn and difficult problem to successfully treat. Thankfully, a well known treatment called Endermologie has been approved by the FDA and has been shown to be one of the best cellulite removal methods available.
Endermologie is a commercial machine that is used to treat patients at a doctor’s clinic or beauty spa. Patients wear a special body stocking to prevent friction burn and a technician runs a massaging hand piece over the cellulite affected areas. The machine gently but effectively massages the fat and skin in order to smooth out the condition.
For the best results, you will need a large number of treatments over a lengthy period of time. This means, for most people, 15 to 30 sessions over three months or so. A full length of treatment will cost about $2000. You will also need ongoing treatment following the initial sessions to maintain the smooth effect.
Optimal results are usually seen in healthy women who are aged 30 to 40 – which is the period in life when cellulite is best treated. Women can also enhance their results by being in shape and at healthy weight level. If you are overweight, it will be more difficult for you to see optimal results.
An Endermologie session is often pleasant and relaxing experience for most patients. However, you may find some localized bruising due to the deep tissue massage effects of the machine. You will be able to return to work or recreation immediately after the session. But if you are susceptible to bruising you may want to rest for a few hours after wards to let your body to recuperate a little.
In contrast to plastic surgery, Endermologie will not get rid of cellulite completely. Instead, it will reduce its appearance for about a month and you will need further sessions to keep the smooth look.
Finally, another option you may want to look into is laser for cellulite removal which doesn’t use massage. This is a good idea if your body bruises easily.
