When used in conjunction with a diet and exercise program the results can be dramatic. Patients who undergo endermologie treatments without some effort at diet and exercise have limited success. No Down Time Because the treatments involve no surgery, there is no down time. Patients can even come for treatments on their lunch hour and go back to work immediately. The treatments are not painful and are generally considered to be a pleasant experience.
Many patients find endermologie a pleasant and affordable way to optimize their appearance.
Historical Background Endermologie evolved in Europe over the past ten years. It was initially discovered by a physician who had previously undergone a surgical procedure on his arm. Following the procedure this physician found that deep massage of the area resulted in a significant softening and improvement. He was so pleased with the results of deep massage that he sought a way to create a machine to perform this when therapists were not available. He experimented with several models of a machine which applied pressure, massage, and gentle suction directly to the skin, and he discovered that not only did this result in softening of his scar but it also reduced the fat deposits in that area.
