What
is endermologie?
In
the late 80's Louis Paul Guitay, a French engineer, was receiving
physiotherapy to soften scars after an accident. To standardize
and facilitate the work of the therapist, he developed a mechanical
device that powered a computer-driven, handheld massaging head
that delivered intermittent suction and rolling to the area being
treated, as well as to the subjacent soft tissue.
The
LPG Technique was invented. Although the equipment was
initially used for therapeutic massages, it was observed that
it unexpectedly produced a noticeable improvement in the appearance
of cellulite. Over the past ten years thousands of machines have
been used around the world as the first patented FDA cleared process,
proven to effectively yet temporarily reduce the appearance of
cellulite.
