Endermologie: Massage therapy by vacuum suction

Ronald Shelton, MD

This is a deep massage therapy done with vacuum suction so that the skin and subcutaneous tissue (dermis and some fat) is kneaded into a rolling device while negative pressure holds the skin in the rollers. It may reduce bulk slightly but temporarily. It may smoothen uneven contour with cellulite, but again, it is a temporary effect. Most patients undergo treatment 2 or three times per week for a month, and then may continue with once per month, or less, to maintain their result.
