Question 1

What is Endermologie and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie uses LPG technology to provide gentle mechanical stimulation of the skin and underlying tissues. This promotes lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, and supports natural healing processes. It's non-invasive and comfortable for most patients.

Question 2

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Treatment plans vary based on your individual needs and goals. For post-surgical recovery, 6-12 sessions may be recommended. For ongoing conditions like fibromyalgia, regular maintenance sessions provide the best outcomes. We'll discuss your specific plan during consultation.

Question 3

Is Endermologie safe after surgery or medical treatments?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie is generally safe for post-surgical patients when appropriate timing is followed. We recommend waiting for your surgeon's clearance and discussing your specific situation during our consultation. Always inform us of any medical conditions or recent procedures.

Question 4

What should I expect during my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a consultation to discuss your health history and goals. The treatment involves wearing a specially designed bodysuit while the LPG device gently massages the treatment area. Most patients find it relaxing and comfortable.

Question 5

Can Endermologie help with cellulite?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie can help improve the appearance of cellulite by promoting circulation and tissue health. Results vary between individuals, and we'll discuss realistic expectations based on your specific goals during consultation.

Question 6

How long is each treatment session?

Accepted Answer

Most treatment sessions range from 30-45 minutes, depending on the specific treatment and area being addressed. Medical treatments for post-surgical recovery may take 45-60 minutes, while maintenance sessions might be 30 minutes.

Question 7

What should I wear to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

We provide specialized bodysuits for all treatments. Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that's easy to change out of. Avoid lotions or oils on the treatment area before your session.

Question 8

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie is very gentle with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience slight redness immediately after treatment, which typically subsides within an hour. You might also feel slightly lightheaded due to improved circulation - we recommend drinking plenty of water.

Question 9

Can I have Endermologie if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend Endermologie during pregnancy as a precautionary measure. Please wait until after delivery and consult with your healthcare provider about when it's safe to begin treatment.

Question 10

How soon after surgery can I start treatment?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of surgery and your individual healing process. Generally, we recommend waiting at least 2-4 weeks after surgery and obtaining clearance from your surgeon. For major procedures, 6-8 weeks may be more appropriate.

Question 11

What's the difference between Endermologie and manual lymphatic drainage?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie uses mechanical stimulation with consistent pressure and rhythm, while manual lymphatic drainage relies on hand movements. Endermologie can treat larger areas more consistently and may be more comfortable for sensitive patients.

Question 12

Do health funds cover Endermologie treatments?

Accepted Answer

Some health funds may provide rebates for lymphatic drainage when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Coverage varies significantly between funds and membership levels. We recommend checking with your health fund directly.

Question 13

Can I exercise after my treatment?

Accepted Answer

Light exercise like walking is encouraged after treatment to support lymphatic flow. Avoid intensive exercise for 24 hours after your session. Stay well-hydrated and listen to your body's signals.

Question 14

What conditions can benefit from Endermologie?

Accepted Answer

Endermologie can support various conditions including post-surgical swelling, fibromyalgia, lymphatic drainage issues, circulation problems, and cosmetic concerns like cellulite. We assess each case individually during consultation.

Question 15

How much water should I drink after treatment?

Accepted Answer

We recommend drinking at least 1.5-2 liters of water in the 24 hours following your treatment to support the lymphatic system and help flush toxins. Continue with adequate hydration (8-10 glasses daily) between sessions.

Question 16

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

To prepare for your appointment: Drink plenty of water (2-3 glasses) in the hours before treatment. Avoid caffeine and alcohol 4 hours before your session. Bring any relevant medical documentation or referrals. Arrive 10 minutes early for paperwork and consultation. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.

Question 17

After your treatment: Drink 1.5-2 liters of water over the next 24 hours. Take a gentle walk to support lymphatic flow. Avoid intensive exercise for 24 hours. Note any changes or improvements to discuss at your next visit. Contact us if you have any concerns or questions.
