Before
and After Photos
The photos to the right show results achieved on a 39 year-old patient
after 23 endermologieŽ sessions. Results may vary from one person
to another depending on genetics, hormonal history or lifestyle.
Scientific
Research
Since the 1990's, several European and American studies have demonstrated
the effects and efficacy of endermologieŽ on various health and beauty
issues. A French study conducted on 30 healthy female patients concluded
in perimeter reduction in 93% of the subjects and improvement of the
skin fold in 100% of the cases, with sustained effects after six months
and 40% to 50% improvement among those who received once or twice
a month follow-up sessions.

Independent studies in the US published in aesthetic surgery
and dermatology magazines demonstrated the following effects:
• Aesthetic Surgery Journal (March - April 2001) observes
the effect of Endermologie when combined with external ultrasound-assisted
liposuction (EUAL). Endermologie after EUAL improves results with
respect to cellulite and reduces the rate of follow-up revision.
• Aesthetic Surgery Journal (November - December 1999)
compared the results of Endermologie with those of external ultrasound-assisted
liposuction (EUAL) in cellulite reduction and body contouring. EUAL
has no role in reducing cellulite. Endermologie is the best choice
for cellulite reduction. Endermologie proves to be a non-invasive
alternative to body contouring but not as efficient as EUAL.
• Aesthetic Surgery Journal (September - October 1999)
concluded that Endermologie is recommended post-liposuction to maximize
body contouring and reduce structural irregularities.
• Aesthetic Surgery Journal (January - February 1999)
report on pig tissue layers revealed Endermologie causes a 400% increase
in blood flow to the skin, which lasted for more than 6 hours after
the end of the treatment. The study also revealed a 300% increase
in lymphatic flow in the treated area and lasted at least 3 hours
after the treatment.
• Aesthetic Surgery Journal (November - December 1998)
concluded that Endermologie treatments cause a change in subdermal
tissue architecture on pig tissue layers and an increase in production
of new collagen by 130% in long term cases, which may be responsible
for the smoothing of skin.
• Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (March - April 1998) compiled
data on 85 women between the ages of 21 and 61 treated with Endermologie,
which showed an overall reduction in body circumference and body weight.
Circumference reduction averaged 1.34 cm after 7 treatments and 1.83
cm after 14 consecutive treatments. A decrease in body circumference
occurred in most cases even with the patients who gained weight.
• Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (March - April 1997) studies
22 women between the ages of 24 and 48. All but one of the patients
had a decrease in their mean body diameter index upon completion of
either 7 or 14 sessions of Endermologie treatments.
• Skin Research and Technology (March 1997) monitored
the effectiveness of mechanical massage by ultrasound imaging. The
study reported a significant smoothing of the dermis-hypodermis interface.
FDA
Clearance
EndermologieŽ therapeutic massagers have received FDA clearance for:
temporarily yet effectively improving the appearance of cellulite
and circumferential body measurements in cellulite-treated areas;
temporary improvement in local blood circulation; relieving DOMS (Delayed
Onset Muscles Soreness); relieving minor aches and pains; relieving
muscle spasms; burn tissue rehabilitation (Rx only).
