Lipomassage

What is Lipomassage ™?

Millions of women are dissatisfied with the appearance of their bodies. More than 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite and exercise resistant fat. Many of them are managing a healthy lifestyle; yet reshaping their body seems like an unachievable dream. Most women are looking for a solution for the treatment of dimpled, sagging skin and pockets of resistant fat. The majority of us will always be interested in shortcuts to a better body but not everybody is willing to consider the surgical options. Body Renewal brings you a revolutionary new non surgical treatment that can deliver dramatic results without surgery or injection in a short space of time; Lipomassage™.

To keep lumps and bumps at bay, Lipomassage™ by Endermologie is the latest generation of Endermologie® treatments dedicated to treat localized fat, cellulite and contours. The Lipomassage process intensively stimulates deep tissue which breaks down fat cells and decreases their life span. With major technological and protocol innovations, Lipomassage™ is more targeted for specific problem areas and uses mechanical rollers that give better results in half the time of traditional Endermologie. The process stimulates the deep tissue which breaks down fat cells and improves lymphatic drainage and long term collagen stimulation.

Make sure that the clinic you choose for Endermologie has the newer Cellu M6 Keymodule that is capable of doing Lipomassage™ targeted treatments. At Body Renewal, we usually combine Lipomassage with Endermologie for enhanced and quicker results.

How does Lipomassage™ work?

The most obvious innovation for Lipomassage is the Cellu M6 Keymodule which are sets of rollers, designed to target specific problems, such as cellulite, loose skin (e.g. on tummies after pregnancies) and localized fat (e.g. 'lovehandles' and inner thigh bulges). The results of Lipomassage can be attributed to combinations of the "rolls" action (in, out and up). Each of which have very specific objectives (slim, firm, resculpt and smooth) and to the extremely targeted treatments. By precisely identifying the issues and concentrating only on specific problem areas such as a paunch or saddle bags, results and patient's satisfaction are accelerated.

This is how it works:

  • The Roll' in action reactivates metabolically inactive adipose tissue and fat release is stimulated
  • The thick hardened tissue that entraps fat cells is softened allowing the resistant fat to be discharged and eliminated.
  • Fibroblasts are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin for lifting and toning skin while sculpting contours.

At Body Renewal, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the thorough analysis and assessment of the client's problem areas, so that the correct protocols can be chosen, programmes selected and treatments carried out. Each patient is assessed by a medical doctor and a customized package prescribed.

What is resistant fat?

Just about everyone is familiar with fat pockets that you cannot get rid of. No matter how much you exercise, eat healthily and maintain your body at a healthy weight, localized fatty pockets fat pockets will continue to be problematic.

A possible explanation behind this is that some fat cells have a predominance of beta receptors and others have a dominance of alpha receptors.

Beta receptors are very receptive to the presence of adrenaline which is produced by exercise. Fat cell breakdown is triggered when adrenaline attaches to the beta receptors. Fatty areas with a predominance of beta receptors respond to exercise and a person on a regular exercise program will see noticeable results.

The opposite applies to fatty areas with a predominance of alpha receptors. When adrenaline attaches to alpha receptors, fat breakdown slows down and the fat tends to accumulate more. This explains why some people will experience problems in areas that just won't respond to a consistent and regular exercise. These problem areas are typically around the hips, tummy and upper thighs, leading to love handles, saddle bags, spare and tummy rolls.

How is Lipomassage ™ different from traditional Endermologie ®?

In order to allow the therapist to treat a variety of tissue conditions precisely, LPG Systems has invented a new a breakthrough technology that is opening up unexplored fields of research. The Lipomassage™ Technology incorporates new protocols and targeted treatments for faster visible results starting from 6 sessions.

Endermologie has been around for a long time, but it originally used vacuum suction, which was less effective and more painful .This new version of Lipomassage uses motorized rollers that work at different speeds and directions, so its much more comfortable and gives better results in half the time The most obvious innovation of Lipomassage is the Cellu M6 Keymodule. The 'Keymodules' are sets of rollers, designed to target specific problems, such as cellulite, loose skin (e.g. on tummies after pregnancies) and localized fat (e.g. 'lovehandles' and inner thigh bulges.)

Another innovation is in the rollers themselves. Each roller is fitted with a miniaturized, high-technology motor. This allows the rollers to move at independent speeds, to produce the correct skin fold to treat the problem. In addition, the rollers can turn in the same or in opposite directions. (Forwards, backwards, inwards and outwards)

This independence provides for variations in speed and rotational direction, allowing the therapist to obtain a large variety of skin folds in terms of their shape, depth and thickness.

Can Lipomassage™ be combined with other treatments?

Body Renewal is excited to offer the next step in multi-modality therapy in treating cellulite and resistant fat. We call it the Bottom Line. Any treatment modality on its own can make a big difference, but in our eyes it's not sufficient. Cellulite and resistant fat has different forms and grades and thus success needs a combination of treatments that include lymphatic drainage, reduction of fat cells, stretching of connective tissue and collagen stimulation.

At Body Renewal Lipomassage™ is commonly performed after a traditional Endermologie treatment or TriPollar, and Carboxytherapy treatments for best results.

What To Expect during and after a Lipomassage™ treatment?

The treatments can be described as a deep tissue massage over a targeted area but active participation of the client is mandatory. During treatments the patient tenses the muscle in the area so that only the fat and skin are treated by the machine. This ensures superior results. After treatments clients are encouraged to eat sensibly, exercise moderately and drink two litres of water daily.

How many Lipomassage™ treatments are needed?

Lipomassage™ is a revolutionary breakthrough technology that is opening up unexplored fields of research. Lipomassage™ technology and the new protocols provide faster visible results: starting from 6 sessions unlike traditional Endermologie ® that requires at least 15 to 20 treatments.

Similar to any results driven treatment, multiple treatments are required. Typically, 8 to 12 treatments are required depending on your age, body shape, cellulite type and grade. Clients have one 35 to 45 minute treatments per week. Maintaining a beautiful body isn't a sprint - it's a marathon .Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way. A maintenance treatment once a month means results continue to improve!

If Lipomassage ™ is combined with a carboxytherapy procedure, the lymphatic circulation is dramatically improved and fewer treatments are necessary.

Is Lipomassage™ safe?

Endermologie® and Lipomassage™ are still required to be performed by trained and certificated therapists. Our therapists are trained at the LPG Training Centres in Gauteng. Our clinics are registered as an accredited LPG Endermologie clinic. This ensures that the quality of the treatments is maintained.

Can all skin types be safely treated with Lipomassage™?

Lipomassage™ safely treats all skin types without significant pain or down-time. It can erase centimeters of the areas treated and the appearance of cellulite is noticeably improved in 8 to 12 treatment sessions one week apart.
