Does Endermologie even work at all?

Most doctors are not convinced that this technology is useful at all. You don't even see the company trying to sell its product at national plastic surgery meetings anymore.

Endermologie improves cellulite and skin tone

Endermologie does use a system of rollers combined with other modalities.  While there is a stretching component to it to deal with shortened ligaments, that are partly the cause of cellulite, the treatment actually improves skin tone in general.  The results of Endermologie are very much dependent on the abilties and experience of the therapist administering the procedure.  Performing Endermologie well is more complicated than it might appear.  At Rejuvenation Center we often see patients who have had courses of Endermologie elsewhere with little or no result.  After only a few treatments with our Endermologie therapist (who has at least 15 years experience & has trained others) they see results.
