Cellulite

This condition is currently treated with endermologie, a French technique that uses the Cellu M6 machine. It consists of a system of rollers and suction that, applied to the cutaneous and sub-cutaneous tissues, produces effective aesthetic and physiological results.

This procedure treats the cellulitis by stimulating the circulation and the elimination of toxins so the softness and flexibility of the
tissues comes back. It also reduces the liquid retention, which helps the functioning of the venous and lymphatic systems, it gives form to the body and reduces the volume, maximizing the lypolisis in the deepest levels of fat, likewise in men as in women. It is advices to have
two weekly sessions of 35 minutes each.

Endermologie is a treatment method developed to reduce the appearance of the cellulite and to improve the condition of the skin. It literally means "through the skin".

The objective of endermologie is to treat the connective tissue, living material that may be restructured by the intake of the cutaneous rolled and unrolled folds that liberates the venous and lymphatic circulation and stimulates the lypolisis.

The response of the application of the physiological technique:
- Increases the skin`s flexibility
- Liberates the Lymphatic and venous circulation
- Stimulates lypolisis
- Exfoliates the skin making it softer
- Reduces muscular tensions
- Stimulates de circulation of the dermis and hypodermis
- Tonifies and reaffirms the skin by stimulating the fibroblasto in the production of collagen and elastina.

Invented in France in the 70`s, it`s today universally considered the non invasive and painless method most effective for skin and superficial adipose tissue treatment. It improves the body`s outline, allowing a redistribution of the fatty superficial tissue.

Our department of endermologie works and develops the technique since 1998.
The effectivity of the technique of mechanical rolling up of the cutaneous folds depends of the therapist.
In the Van Thienen clinic, this treatment is performed by kinesiologists and each individual patient receives a personalized treatment.
We work in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinaryway, contributing to the treatment protocol everything that promotes the method`s success.
Responsible of our results, the doctor must give the approval for the application of endermologie.

From our permanent training and experience, we conclude that the technique of the mechanical rolling up of the cutaneous folds, is an efficient tool in medicine in a variety of applications.
