What is it?

Endermology, also known as Endermotherapy or Vacuum Therapy, is the name of the aesthetic treatment generally carried out by women, as cellulite affects only 1% of men, as has been reported in recent years.

Indications

Endermology is often recommended for a variety of aesthetic and therapeutic indications. Here are some of the main indications for endermology treatment:

Cellulite Reduction: Endermology is effective in reducing the appearance of cellulite, helping to smooth fat lumps and improve skin texture.

Skin Toning: The treatment can help tone and firm the skin, especially in areas such as thighs, buttocks, abdomen and arms.

Improved Blood and Lymphatic Circulation: Endermology can stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, helping to eliminate toxins and transport essential nutrients to skin cells.

Post-Plastic Surgery: It is often used as part of the recovery process after plastic surgery to reduce swelling, minimize the formation of fibrosis and promote healing.

Pre- and Post-Operative Preparation: Before surgical procedures, endermology can be used to improve the condition of the skin and optimize the results of the procedure. After surgery, it can help with recovery and obtaining faster and more satisfactory results.

Improvement of the General Appearance of the Skin: In addition to the specific indications mentioned above, endermology can also be beneficial for improving the general appearance of the skin, promoting a healthier and more revitalized appearance.

Contraindications

Endermology is not recommended for pregnant women, people with cardiovascular problems, circulatory problems, thrombosis, hepatitis, diabetes, infectious and progressive diseases, cancer, acute infections or inflammation.

How is it done?

Endermology is a treatment where a device is used that works through a suction massage, that is, it works with suction cups with two rollers that are passed over the entire body, providing a deep and relaxing massage.

Frequency

The ideal frequency of endermology treatment may vary depending on individual skin needs and patient goals. However, an initial program of more frequent sessions, followed by maintenance sessions, is generally recommended.

For optimal results, many professionals initially recommend 1 to 2 sessions per week over a period of 6 to 8 weeks. After this initial period, monthly maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the results achieved.

However, the exact frequency of treatment may vary depending on factors such as the condition of the skin, the severity of aesthetic concerns, and the patient’s individual preferences. It is always best to discuss with a qualified beauty professional to determine the ideal frequency based on your specific needs.

Care

Generally, the procedure does not generate pain, however, in cases where cellulite is more severe, there may not be adequate local circulation, and, consequently, a painful sensation. In addition, bruises may appear caused by deep massage. In this case, exposure to the sun should be avoided, which can cause stains. The problem regresses spontaneously.
