Is Endermologie? always used in conjunction with tumescent liposuction?
No. Some patients can get a mild reduction in contour using just the machine, even without liposuction, and sometimes people who don’t want to have surgery can get good results using this method. In these cases, the treatment works best for those who need minimal reshaping.
In addition, if someone has a lot of irregularity in skin tone, you can try it first to see how they respond to the treatment and get an idea of how much it can help. If patients have irregularities after liposuction, you will already know that Endermologie? might give them good results – just look at some of their liposuction before and after photos for proof.
Endermologie? also can improve circulation and make tissues softer for liposuction patients.
How long after liposuction do people have Endermologie?, and how much does it cost?
They usually have it about a month after surgery, and each session costs in the neighborhood of $100.
Tell us about injections to dissolve fat.
That is another investigational type of procedure using two chemicals that are in the process of being studied. One is phosphaddyl choline, and the other is collagenase. The concerns are similar to those involving external ultrasound or laser liposuction.
What happens when fat is liquefied in the body?
We need more studies to find out, because there could be dangerous side effects or long-term problems. So we will have to wait for future results.
