Endermologie "Sucks"
Endermologie was invented in France and is the first treatment to be approved by the FDA for “temporarily reducing the appearance of cellulite.” Treatments involve the use of a motorized device with adjustable rollers and controlled suction. This device gently rolls and pinches the skin in the affected area. Endermologie clinicians claim that this breaks down subcutaneous fat, water and toxins and allows them to be drained away by the body’s lymphatic system.Endermologie fans report immediate improvements -- with the appearance of cellulite significantly diminishing after a treatment. However, the effect usually lasts only a few days. Hey, at least it’s long enough to take that thong for a spin on the beach without having to worry about a sarong to cover the lumps and bumps.
Practitioners claim that long-term treatment leads to more permanent results.
Other experts claim that endermologie is a waste of time and money.
A recommended course of treatment includes 14 sessions. Each session costs about $90 - $120+ in New York City.
