Cellulite shows itself as dimpling on the surface of the skin, likened to orange peel. It is found on the thighs and buttocks of many women. It is caused by the natural structure of the skin being stretched by fat cells growing too large, and is thought to also be as a result of poor blood and lymph circulation. Endermologie was pioneered by LPG Systems in France in the 1990s. Since its introduction to the USA, Endermologie has become the world's first patented technology to be approved by the American Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), who agree that it temporarily reduces the circumferential body measurements in cellulite treated areas. It involves the use of a motorized device with two adjustable rollers and controlled suction which is moved over the patient, who wears a specially designed body stocking. The continuous action of the rollers lessens the appearance of the cellulite, increases the blood circulation and stimulates the lymph system to remove toxins and unwanted fluid. Private costs for this type of treatment range from approximately £60 - £90 per session.
