LPG Endermologie Body Shaping

LPG Endermologie at Esthesia Clinic uses the LPG Cellu M6 Alliance — the latest generation of the patented Endermologie device that pioneered mechanically-assisted skin mobilisation for cellulite treatment and body contouring. The device's motorised treatment head combines suction and two independently motorised rollers to perform a deep, rhythmic mechanical massage that stimulates fibroblasts, improves microcirculation, mobilises fat cell metabolism (activating lipase enzymes to release stored triglycerides), and reduces fibrous septa that create the characteristic dimpled appearance of cellulite. Treatments are performed through a thin, full-body suit that ensures hygienic contact and uniform traction. Results include measurable circumferential reduction, visible smoothing of cellulite texture, skin tightening from fibroblast stimulation, and improved lymphatic drainage.

Cellulite — the dimpled, orange-peel texture of skin over fat deposits, predominantly on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen — affects an estimated 85–98% of women regardless of body weight and is caused by a combination of fibrous septa pulling the skin downward, enlarged fat lobules pushing upward, impaired microcirculation, and reduced collagen density in the overlying dermis. Standard exercise and diet do not address the connective tissue architecture responsible for cellulite; mechanical tissue mobilisation is required to physically remodel these structures. LPG Endermologie is the original and most clinically studied mechanically-assisted technique for cellulite treatment, with over 100 peer-reviewed clinical studies supporting its efficacy. Esthesia Clinic operates the LPG Cellu M6 Alliance — the current top-of-range LPG device with patented motorised roll technology. **How LPG Endermologie works:** *Mechanical stimulation of fibroblasts:* The rhythmic mechanical mobilisation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue stimulates fibroblasts to increase production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — improving skin thickness, elasticity, and firmness over a treatment course. *Lipolysis activation:* Mechanical stimulation of adipocytes (fat cells) activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors on the cell surface, triggering the lipase enzyme cascade that breaks down stored triglycerides within the cells. This mechanical lipolysis releases fatty acids into the local circulation — effective only when combined with aerobic exercise after sessions (walking, cycling) to ensure the released lipids are metabolised rather than redeposited. *Microcirculation improvement:* The suction and rolling action increases local blood flow and lymphatic drainage, reducing the tissue congestion and impaired oxygenation that contributes to cellulite formation and maintenance. *Fibrous septa remodelling:* Repeated mechanical traction on the fibrous connective tissue bands (septa) that create the 'dimple' of cellulite gradually softens and remodels these bands — reducing the pulling effect on the skin surface that creates visible dimpling. **The session:** Patients wear a thin, tight-fitting Endermologie body suit (provided) for hygienic contact. The practitioner methodically applies the Alliance handpiece to the treatment areas (thighs, buttocks, abdomen, flanks, arms) with appropriate suction level and roller speed for the targeted tissue. Sessions are comfortable — most patients describe the sensation as a vigorous deep-tissue massage. Mild redness (erythema) in treated areas is normal and resolves within 1–2 hours. **Treatment protocol:** For visible cellulite results: 10–15 sessions, 1–2 times per week, followed by monthly maintenance. For body contouring and circumferential reduction: a similar course with more focused application on target zones. For general skin quality maintenance: monthly sessions. **Measurable outcomes (supported by clinical data):** - Average circumferential reduction of 3–5 cm at the treated zones after a 10-session course - Visible improvement in skin texture and reduction in dimpling - Measurable increase in skin thickness and collagen density - Significant improvement in lymphatic drainage and tissue oedema reduction **Contraindications:** Pregnancy, pacemaker, recent deep vein thrombosis, active infections or skin lesions at treatment sites, cancer, severe cardiovascular conditions.
