Sucking Cellulite Treatments What Endermology Can Do For You

Endermology, the latest in a steady wave of treatments for cellulite claims to make the fatty cells disappear. This form of therapy and suction utilizes small rollers, which gently massage the area where cellulite has developed. Experts in this new therapy claim the rollers are squeezing out extra fat and other material from the cells. After the rolling, this fat is removed from the body using suction similar to liposuction. The treatments need to be performed twice a month and can be very costly.

Endermology has had some short-term effects for some women. They say the cellulite disappeared, but returned in a few days. Continual treatment will be necessary to keep the cellulite from building up again. For some women though, this is enough to keep them going back for more treatments. For years, it has been thought that massage could reduce the appearance of cellulite. Endermology combines both massage therapy and liposuction together in order to remove unwanted fat from the body. With all treatments only time will tell if this treatment is worth spending time and money to maintain a cellulite free body. Other therapies are used which may prove even more effective. In addition, gene therapy may finally find the gene that causes cellulite production in the body. Remove the gene and one may be cellulite free for life.

Though not the most popular form of cellulite therapy, endermology does have a following of women and massage therapists who believe in its powers. If nothing else, endermology is a good way to get a massage, especially if a person is stressed out and needs a way to relax. Massage therapy will smooth the skin, but only temporarily. No current treatment will erase cellulite completely or keep it from returning. Only gene therapy, which is still being developed, offers any hope of eliminating cellulite. By comparing genes of those who have cellulite with those who do not, scientists are getting closer to finding the gene that causes cellulite to form. By removing this gene, cellulite will no longer be produced in the body. This is good news for those who have a lot of cellulite and who spend lots of money trying to make it go away. However, until that gene has been located, other therapies may help reduce the appearance of cellulite, which is enough for some women.

Endermology can only be performed in a dermatologist's office or plastic surgeons office.

Consultations are usually free and can provide a person with useful information. Ask questions about the procedure before starting any therapy program. Do not expect results immediately. It could take months to see any results. Some women claim the therapy works, while others say it does not. There is always a risk of limited results with any procedure. Many therapists claim it can take over a year to see any significant reduction of cellulite in women. But if it will make a person feel better about themselves, endermology might be worth looking into.
