So what’s a girl to do?  The never-ending search for an answer has produced more curiosities than cures, from lotions, potions, pills and supplements to the latest anti-cellulite shoes and jeans.  Only one treatment, Endermologie^® -- a machine-assisted deep tissue massage technique from France, has FDA clearance as an effective way to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain improvements and results.  Endorsed by physicians and skin care professionals across the U.S. and supported by independent clinical studies and laboratory research, Endermologie^® targets connective tissue, which provides the skin=s mechanical functions of support and cohesion.  In addition, this key component of the body’s microcirculation systems provides nutrition, fluid exchange and protection.

Now Endermologie^® is getting even tougher on cellulite with its newest generation treatment machine, the patented CelluM6 Keymodule.  This new streamlined Endermologie^® machine features:  a redesigned treatment head with speed and rotation differentials to increase the depth of action and provide more therapeutic applications.

“The Keymodule^® allows the therapist to customize the treatment. Soft, or watery, cellulite (feels spongy to the touch and may be due to water retention) is massaged differently than hard or compact cellulite which is often found in dancers, runners, and other very fit patients,” says Andrea Volz, a training manager for the Cellu M6 KeyModule’s manufacturer, LPG, the world leader in connective tissue technology.

The treatment head of the machine is applied directly to the skin using various programs that increase blood flow and help fluid elimination, thereby contributing to a more even finish to the skin and better body contours.

Dr. Robert Ersek, a board certified plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas, has been using Endermologie^® for several years as an adjunct to liposuction and conducted a year-long study on the effects of Endermologie^®.  He concludes that it benefits the skin and subcutaneous tissue by boosting microcirculation by as much as 200 percent and stretching the septa so the fat loses its quilted look. It is my experience that Endermologie^® is the only effective treatment for cellulite, he says.   Ersek, a clinical assistant professor at Southwest Texas State University and an Instructor at the University of Texas, now uses the new Cellu M6 KeyModule in his practice, and says he and his staff are excited about the increased precision and accuracy the machine offers in the treatment of different kinds of cellulite.  He discusses his experiences and results with Endermologie^® in his books, A Better Body and Mega-Lipo.
